This course moves solution architecture from theory into practice. You will evaluate real-world business requirements and translate them into structured application plans using specific cloud services, building the operational judgment that defines the solution architect role.
You will practice selecting the right cloud service model, IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, for a given business need, and learn to weigh design principles like scalability and security against practical constraints. You will also assess the security and compliance risks of cloud deployments and identify non-functional requirements such as latency and reliability that keep solutions dependable once deployed.
The course closes with a skills matrix exercise, helping you pinpoint your own gaps and map a path toward professional certification, including the Azure Solutions Architect credential.
