This AZ-305 course guides you through the design of comprehensive infrastructure solutions on Microsoft Azure. It’s not just about configuring resources, but about building a robust, secure, and scalable architecture. You’ll learn to think like a cloud architect, anticipate technical, business, and operational needs, while applying governance best practices.
You will explore key concepts such as high availability, disaster recovery, identity management, storage, and security. With a structured, module-based approach, you will master the critical components of the Azure environment, optimize performance, and ensure the resilience of your cloud solutions.
Throughout the program, you will apply the recommendations of the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework. You will be trained to design cloud environments that meet today’s business challenges: flexibility, security, performance, and cost optimization.

Adopting Microsoft Azure is not just about migrating servers or creating virtual machines. It represents a fundamental shift in mindset. It means rethinking infrastructure around cloud principles: resilience, scalability, governance, and security. This training provides a comprehensive methodology to build architectures that meet today’s business expectations while anticipating future needs.
There are many challenges. How do you ensure service continuity? How do you secure access and data? How do you choose the right storage services or compute models? These questions are addressed in a practical way to help you design robust, efficient, and tailored cloud solutions.
In this course, you’ll learn how to organize your resources by considering their lifecycle, functional role, and administrative needs. You’ll know how to build a modular architecture capable of adapting to change without sacrificing stability.
Special attention is given to security. With integrated Azure tools like Microsoft Entra ID and Azure Key Vault, you’ll learn how to implement granular access policies, manage managed identities, and integrate external services without security gaps.
You’ll also discover how to apply the Zero Trust model and how to embed security thinking at the design stage rather than reacting to incidents.
A well-designed cloud infrastructure allows better control of costs. This comes from a deep understanding of Azure services, but also from the ability to forecast usage, pool resources, and avoid overprovisioning.
This training teaches you how to design with cost optimization in mind. You’ll learn to use services such as Azure Advisor or Cost Management, as well as how to structure your governance to promote a culture of continuous optimization.
Performance considerations are not forgotten. You’ll see how to balance workloads, avoid single points of failure, and use availability zones wisely.
Migrating to the cloud is not about copy-pasting existing systems. It’s about adapting applications, data, and organization. You’ll learn how to structure an efficient migration, assess workloads, use the right Microsoft tools, and most importantly, support change within your company.
This training includes best practices from the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. You’ll know how to build a clear plan, manage stages, measure progress, and adjust your strategy based on real-world feedback.
Infrastructure is the foundation, but it supports applications. This course also teaches you to design event-driven architectures, containerized solutions, or serverless environments with Azure Functions. You’ll learn how to connect various components and maintain overall consistency.
You will also learn how to integrate monitoring, logging, and observability from the beginning, to build a transparent and responsive operational system.
Do I need to be a developer to take this course?
No, this course is intended for technical profiles with experience in administration or architecture. Coding is not required.
What tools will I learn to use?
You’ll work with Azure Portal, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Monitor, Azure Policy, Azure Cost Management, and many more.
Is this training helpful for certification?
Yes, it effectively prepares you for the AZ-305 exam to become a certified Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
How long does it take to master these concepts?
It depends on your background. The course gives you a solid foundation to build on with real-world experience.
Is this course useful outside of Azure?
Yes, the principles of architecture, security, and governance apply to other cloud platforms as well.
