Upon completion of this course, you will be adequately prepared to take Microsoft's Deploy and configure Azure Monitor Applied Skill assessment. This course covers all necessary content and provides essential practice to boost your confidence and ensure success in the assessment.
Azure Monitoring is a core function which is used to monitor and alert you to issues and problems with all your Azure Services. This course will have you creating quick resources for the purpose of designing and implementing monitoring techniques on them, so that Microsoft Azure will alert you before problems take hold of your resources. This short course will provide hands-on experience deploying Azure Monitoring for three of the most commonly used services: Web Applications, Virtual Machines, and Virtual Networks. But it will also teach you about centralizing data collection and querying that data for a proactive investigation when needed. This Short Course was created to help learners accomplish skills essential for keeping your Azure Services running at all times and being able to monitor and track them in real time. By completing this course you'll be able to monitor resources for your entire infrastructure. Through hands-on learning, you'll gain the expertise needed to navigate Azure Monitoring confidently. By the end of this 1.5-hour long course, you will be able to: Construct the Microsoft Azure Lab Environment Create and Configure a Log Analytics Workspaces for Microsoft Azure Monitor Prepare an Azure Web Application that will Collect Metrics Create a Virtual Machine and Action Settings to Report Performance Build a Virtual Network and Design a Monitoring Plan that will Track and Monitor Various Settings Centralize and Configure Automation of Azure Alerts and Triggers This course is unique because the customized hands-on learning experiences are tailored to the learner for success in using Azure services. To be successful in this project, you should have a background working in and moving around the Azure Portal and some networking fundamentals. To perform the lab, you will need an active Azure subscription. Please visit: https://azure.microsoft.com/ to obtain your free trial.
After completing this short course, Learners should be able to configure, collect, and interpret monitoring telemetries for core Azure Services, such as virtual machines, networking, and web applications. They should also be able to apply these skills using the Azure Portal to create Azure Services, such as Web Applications, Virtual Machines, and Virtual Networks for the purpose of Collection Data for Monitoring, and Centralizing Alerts and Triggers with automation techniques.

In this lesson, you will prepare your own lab environment by obtaining a free trial to work with Microsoft Azure. We will discuss the options that come with the free trial and remember to never practice labs from this or any other Microsoft course in the real world environment. After creating a login and password, utilize them to log into the Azure portal. Once this has been completed, we are ready to jump into this short course.

This lesson covers key concepts of creating Log Workspaces for the purpose of data collection for Azure Services. The data that is collected is specific to each service, which will be detailed in future lessons of this short course. Monitoring and Alerting are crucial techniques used to keep all cloud services running smoothly, cost-effective, and reportable. The Azure Portal offers a centralized location to create, manage, monitor, implement, and deploy services and monitoring. The data collection result sets can be queried with a language called KQL in real time so you can be alerted to issues immediately for intervention and solutioning. Because Azure is a cloud product, the servers can be managed from anywhere in the world, 24/7.

This lesson will conceptualize monitoring for web applications so you can learn about the automated experience Application Insights delivers, which will give better than expected results, with a few clicks. However, behind the scenes of Monitoring Web Apps, they can also create custom workspaces and logs for specific categories and Services in Azure, in addition to the automated resources. The lesson will focus on Web Applications, with the expectation that Web Applications, Virtual Machines, and Virtual Networks are the most important and commonly used Azure Services that will require monitoring.

In this lesson, you may be pleased to learn that monitoring Virtual Machines in the Azure Portal will also take advantage of some automation that will cut down your time in the real world for creating workspaces and logs. The process is concise, clear and easy to comprehend so that the Learners will walk away with the skills necessary to implement this on your own Azure environments.

Virtual Networks encompass other Azure Services, such as Virtual Machines, Web Applications, Firewalls, Network Security Groups, and so much more. As a result, a monitoring plan must be created with careful strategy and have compliance, and business standards in mind. In this Lesson, we will examine some built-in monitoring events, and assemble various settings to assist us in the detailed tracking and monitoring of the Virtual Network as a whole, and as the primary piece of the architecture. You should be prepared to strategize with members of your team in the real world to plan priorities for these settings, since monitoring takes place in prioritization order.

This lesson is designed so that it ends the short course with confidence that the Learners can be automatically alerted to performance issues, rather than using time-consuming tasks of the past to investigate and remediate problems. With Azure Alerts and Triggers, the Services can alert you, similar to how you get alerted by emails or chats. The Learners will walk away confident that they will be able to rest easy, knowing that they have set up everything properly and they can now let Azure Monitor do the arduous task of monitoring.
