This hands-on course empowers you with the skills to design, deploy, and manage robust cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure. Azure offers various services enabling organizations to scale up and accelerate their digital transformation. 

In this course, you’ll explore the core principles of cloud architecture and learn industry best practices. You’ll be introduced to cloud computing basics, followed by topics like SLAs, databases, app services, and VMs. Next, you’ll learn about various automation services like Azure WebJobs, Azure Service Bus, and Azure Queue Storage. Cost management and monitoring tools like Azure Log Analytics, Azure Dashboards, Application Insights, and Azure Monitor are also covered. The course discusses securing the data and VMs using tools and services like Microsoft Entra ID, IAM, and administrative units. 

After completing this course, you can complete Microsoft’s Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification and be ready for cloud and IT management and consulting roles.

We can give strict guidelines to the team members to follow the best practices and create VMs using Azure Disk Encryption.

We can create an Azure Policy rule that would prevent the creation of any virtual machine that’s not encrypted using Azure Disk Encryption.

We can create a policy that would ensure that all virtual machines have the `MicrosoftMonitoringAgent` extension installed and are up to date.

Let’s assume we’re a cloud administrator and we want to manage the infrastructure in a way that we can create virtual machines with encrypted disks. How do we achieve this?

We can guide the cloud developers to create tags whenever they create any new Azure resource.

We can use a policy that can enforce the use of required tags on all our resources that will be deployed in our Azure subscription.

We can create a policy that will specify the encryption requirements and also makes tags mandatory for the resources in our Azure subscription.

How do we ensure that all the virtual machines created in our Azure subscription have tags associated with them?

**(True or False)** We don't have to pay extra charges to use Azure Policy on Azure resources.


(True or False) We don’t have to pay extra charges to use Azure Policy on Azure resources.

**(True or False)** If we assign a policy to a resource group, it’s applicable to all the resources in that resource group. 

(True or False) If we assign a policy to a resource group, it’s applicable to all the resources in that resource group.
