Overview

This course explores advanced Azure integration techniques, focusing on APIs, event-driven solutions, and messaging frameworks. You'll learn to implement API management, develop event-based solutions, and use messaging systems to enhance communication between services. These are crucial skills for modern cloud architectures, where systems need to interact seamlessly and securely. The course will teach you practical, hands-on skills for designing and implementing solutions that scale efficiently. By working through examples and exercises, you'll understand how to manage and integrate Azure’s cloud services effectively, optimizing the performance of your applications. What sets this course apart is its blend of theory and real-world examples. You’ll gain not just the technical know-how but also the context to implement solutions in a production environment. With Azure's tools, you'll learn how to solve complex integration challenges that arise in the cloud. This course is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud architects who want to level up their skills in Azure. Basic knowledge of cloud computing and Azure services will help you get the most out of this course. This course is part three of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.

Syllabus

Implementing API Management

This module guides learners through the process of deploying and configuring API Management (APIM) in Azure, including provisioning a web API, exploring configuration options, integrating with networking, and monitoring performance. Learners will gain hands-on experience with APIM setup, secure networking, and troubleshooting using Azure tools.

Developing Event-Based Solutions

This module introduces learners to event-based processing solutions using Azure services. You will explore how to set up and manage Azure Event Hubs and IoT Hubs, connect devices, and implement event-driven automation with secure access management. By the end, you'll be able to develop scalable applications that leverage event-based architectures in the cloud.

Developing Message-Based Solutions

This module introduces key concepts and patterns for building scalable, message-based solutions using Azure services. Learners will explore message brokers, competing consumers, and provisioning Azure Queue Storage and Service Bus, as well as handling transactions and dead-letter queues. Practical exercises guide you through implementing these patterns in real-world cloud environments.
