Mike: Hello, everyone.
My name is Mike Boorman,
and welcome to the course,
Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert
AZ305: Networking, File and Blob Storage Solutions.
I am an author here at Pluralsight.
While this course helps you to prepare for the AZ-305,
Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions exam,
it is also beneficial
for anyone who wants a design-level understanding
of the networking, file,
and blob storage technologies in Azure.
In this course,
we are going to explore the topics
of networking as a whole,
as well as storage solutions for files and blobs
as they relate to Microsoft Azure in general
and the AZ-305 exam in particular.
Some of the major topics that we will cover
include cloud networking,
hybrid networking, distributing network traffic,
and securing network traffic
using various technologies and services
available in Microsoft Azure.
We will also explore designing solutions
with storage technologies and services
related to file and blob storage
and how to implement these solutions in a secure way.
By the end of this course,
you will have the ability
to describe the various components of Azure
related to networking as well as file and blob storage.
This will also help prepare you for the AZ-305 exam
when taken alongside our other AZ-305 Learning Path courses.
Before beginning this course,
you should be familiar with basic cloud concepts,
a general understanding of Microsoft Azure,
knowledge of Microsoft Azure technologies,
and be comfortable navigating the Azure Portal.
I hope you'll join me on this journey
to learn solution development
of networking, file, and blob storage
with the AZ-305
Networking, File and Blob Storage course at Pluralsight.
