    Study Notes

    Azure 900 Study Course

    • The Azure 900 study course is designed to help users prepare for the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam (AZ-900).
    • The course covers fundamental concepts of cloud computing, Azure services, and how to manage and deploy applications on Azure.

    Azure 900 Exam & Benefits

    • The AZ-900 exam leads to the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certification.
    • The certification demonstrates a basic understanding of cloud concepts and Azure services.

    Cloud Service Principles

    • A key principle of a cloud service is the concept of shared responsibility.
    • High availability in a cloud service refers to the ability of the service to remain operational even if some components fail.

    Cloud Service Types

    • Public clouds are typically multi-tenant & externally hosted.
    • Private clouds are dedicated to a single organization.

    Cloud Service Locations

    • The main benefit of a cloud service with multiple locations is disaster recovery, ensuring service continuity in case of failures.
    • Brazil replicates to the US South region.
    • Each Azure region has three availability zones.
    • Availability zones physically separate infrastructure for improved resilience.

    Cloud Service Resources

    • Azure offers resources with both zone-redundant and zonal options.
    • The zone-redundant option replicates data across multiple availability zones, while the zonal option keeps data within a single zone.

    Cloud Service Expenditure

    • Capital expenditure (CapEx) refers to investments in hardware and infrastructure.
    • Operational expenditure (OpEx) covers the ongoing costs of using the cloud service.

    Cloud Service Responsibilities

    • The shared responsibility model between customer and provider focuses on security.

    Cloud Service Workloads

    • Public clouds are well-suited for general-purpose workloads.
    • Azure's China cloud is unique as it is managed by a Chinese company.

    Azure Regions

    • Azure regions are geographically dispersed locations that house resources and offer cloud services.
    • Regions are designed to provide disaster recovery and high availability.

    Cloud Service Levels

    • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides the most flexibility with full OS access.
    • Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers higher abstraction, focusing on application and data management.
    • Software as a Service (SaaS) is responsible for business functions, requiring the least customer involvement.

    Cloud Service Benefits

    • PaaS benefits over IaaS include simplified management and reduced operational burden.

    Cloud Service Redundancy

    • Storage accounts do not offer a zone-redundant option.
    • For a service to survive data center failure, the recommended solution is to use availability zones.
    • When choosing a service with availability zones, understand whether the service is zone-redundant or zonal.
