It is designed to guide learners through the practical tasks required to manage core Azure services, covering identity and access management, governance, storage, compute, and networking. The labs focus on key administrative capabilities, including managing user identities and role-based access control within Microsoft Entra ID, enforcing organizational rules with Azure Policy, and deploying and managing virtual machines, container apps, and web apps. The content also covers configuring virtual networks, implementing intersite connectivity, managing network traffic distribution, and setting up monitoring and alerting for Azure resources. Storage administration, backup and disaster recovery, and deploying resources using both ARM templates and Bicep infrastructure-as-code are also addressed through guided exercises. The repository uses a workbook framework to deliver step-by-step technical exercises with pre-configured environments, enabling practical experience with the Azure Resource Manager API, Azure Monitor, and other core platform services. ## Tags ### Education & Learning Resources - [Cloud Administration Training](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/education-learning-resources/cloud-administration-training.md) — Provides hands-on lab workbooks for learning to manage Azure cloud platform resources, governance, and identity. - [Guided Lab Workbooks](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/education-learning-resources/practical-labs/guided-lab-workbooks.md) — The core delivery mechanism: step-by-step workbooks with pre-configured environments for Azure administration practice. - [Practical Labs](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/education-learning-resources/practical-labs.md) — The core delivery mechanism: step-by-step workbooks with pre-configured environments for Azure administration practice. ### Part of an Awesome List - [Storage And Backups](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/awesome-lists/data/storage-and-backups.md) — Provides labs for managing blob storage, file shares, backup vaults, and restore policies in Azure. - [Storage Administration](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/awesome-lists/data/storage-and-backups/storage-administration.md) — Provides workbooks for configuring blob storage accounts, file shares, backup policies, and data replication in Azure. - [Azure Resource Monitoring](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/awesome-lists/devops/monitoring-and-health/azure-resource-monitoring.md) — Provides labs for collecting and analyzing metrics, logs, and alerts from Azure resources.
