Designing Infrastructure and Managing Migration

Course

In this course, you will go over the best practices for implementing High Availability within the Azure Cloud using different solutions. We will create a backup strategy/plan. We'll go through migrating on-premise resources into the Azure cloud with built-in tools. We will go over how to monitor and optimize migrated resources to ensure they are running at their optimum level using Azure Monitor and Advisor respectively. We will also go over how to use ARM Templates to automate the provisioning of resources using Infrastructure as code as well as enforcing an organization's policies and requirements automatically through Azure Policy and Azure Blueprint.

Course Lessons

Lesson 1

Introduction to Designing Infrastructure and Managing Migration

Introduction to designing infrastructure and managing migrations with Azure.

Lesson 2

Azure Cloud Capabilities

In this lesson we will be covering services that allow for high availability, what patterns we should use to design as we move an on premise to the cloud, and network security and design.

Lesson 3

Designing for Backup and Recovery

In this lesson, we will learn about recovery plan objectives, what services we can use to recover our sites, and what types of service items can be backed up in Azure.

Lesson 4

Migration

In this lesson, we will cover how to analyze your on-premise system to determine the cost of migration, create and migration plan, and then implement the migration from on-premise to the cloud.

Lesson 5

Automation

In this lesson, we will be discussing the ARM Templates to deploy infrastructure as code, what tools there are to configure management, and Azure Blueprints.

Lesson 6 • Project

Project: Moving from On-Prem to the Azure Cloud

Take an on-premises environment, plan its move to the Azure cloud, and then execute that migration!
