Cloud development: more than just hosting applications
Creating a cloud application is no longer just about putting a website online. Today, a developer must master a complete chain of services, tools, and best practices. The AZ-204 training goes far beyond a basic overview of Microsoft Azure. It offers a deep dive into modern cloud development, with practical scenarios and a performance-driven approach.
Companies now expect developers to build scalable, secure, and interconnected solutions. With this in mind, this training helps you learn how to manage applications from end to end. From development to deployment, including securing and monitoring, each stage is covered clearly and progressively.
Skills in demand across professional environments
With the rapid evolution of digital careers, developers need to adapt quickly. This course gives you the keys to understand the technical demands of the Azure cloud. You’ll learn how to build a web application, secure it with built-in authentication and role-based authorization, and expose it through reliable endpoints.
Another essential part of the course focuses on storage management. Unstructured data is everywhere today, and you’ll learn how to store it efficiently in Azure Blob Storage. You’ll also understand how to automate its lifecycle management and set up intelligent data retention rules.
A strong focus on modern architectures
Event processing, scalability, and resilience are central to modern cloud architecture. You’ll discover the serverless approach using Azure Functions and how to respond to real-time triggers. These functions are ideal for building lightweight microservices or automation, while optimizing infrastructure costs.
Containerization is another key pillar. Using Azure Container Registry and Azure Container Instances, you’ll build a flexible, quickly deployable, and environment-agnostic infrastructure. Thanks to Azure Container Apps, you’ll learn how to run containerized services without worrying about underlying cluster management.
You will also work with Azure Cosmos DB, a NoSQL database designed for global-scale, high-availability applications. It allows you to store data with predictable performance, auto-scaling, and multi-API support.
Building reliable and maintainable solutions
Developing on Azure also means learning how to anticipate issues. That’s why the training includes monitoring, diagnostic logging, and error handling. These skills are critical to ensure service stability in production and to quickly troubleshoot any incident.
Finally, this training actively prepares you for the Microsoft Azure Developer Associate certification. It goes beyond theory, offering real-world cases, hands-on exercises, and examples you can immediately apply in the workplace.
