Identity & governance
Control who can do what and what it costs — Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC scope inheritance, Azure Policy guardrails, and budget alerts.
Storage
Store data durably and cheaply — pick redundancy from LRS to GZRS, tier and age Blobs automatically, share Azure Files, and hand out scoped SAS tokens.
Compute: VMs, Bicep & scale
Run VMs that survive failures and scale on demand — managed disks, availability sets versus zones, Scale Sets, and repeatable ARM/Bicep deployments.

Lab: Stand up the foundations · 10-question check
Containers & App Service
Ship apps without managing servers — push images to Container Registry, run them on Container Apps or App Service, and swap deployment slots with TLS and custom domains.
Virtual networking
Wire cloud resources together cleanly — design VNets and subnets, peer them, steer traffic with user-defined routes and load balancers, and resolve names via Azure DNS.

Network security
Shrink your attack surface — filter traffic with NSGs and Application Security Groups, read effective rules, reach VMs through Bastion, and lock PaaS behind private endpoints.
Monitoring & backup
Know when things break and recover when they do — query metrics and KQL logs in Azure Monitor, fire alerts to action groups, and protect workloads with Azure Backup and Site Recovery.
