Cloud computing is a reality for business big and small alike. Microsoft Azure is at the forefront of cloud computing and that is why it is pivotal for Systems Engineers and Administrators to understand how to create and manage Virtual Machines on Azure.
With the power of the cloud, comes great capabilities. That being said they are still technical in nature. That is why we put together this step-by-step course to teach you from the ground up, everything you need to know about Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines.
By the time you have completed this course, there will be little you do not know about Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines, at least you will have a head start.
