In this course, you’ll start your journey by understanding how to authenticate and authorize resources in Microsoft Entra ID and Azure. Next, you’ll learn how to restrict access to Azure resources using Azure Virtual Networks, Azure Firewall, and Azure network security groups. You’ll also explore how to secure private access to Azure resources. 

Furthermore, you’ll learn how to restrict public access to Azure resources with Azure Application Gateway, Azure WAF, Azure Front Door, and Azure DDoS. Moreover, you’ll also learn how to secure computing, storage, and database resources in Azure.

After completing this course, you can maintain compliance with corporate standards and regulatory requirements across the Azure environment with Azure Policy and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. You’ll also learn how to monitor and analyze metrics and logs with Azure Monitor, Azure Log Analytics, and Azure Sentinel and then automate predefined actions if a threat occurs.

Securing Azure Workloads: Principles and Practices

The **Azure virtual machines (VMs)**, also known simply as Azure VMs, are an essential part of Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform. They are computing resources that are scalable and on-demand, and these resources can be utilized to execute a wide variety of workloads. In this lesson, we’ll take a more in-depth look at Azure virtual machines and the features that they offer.






Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines are, in essence, virtual machines hosted in the cloud and run on a hypervisor. They enable users to host various workloads, including apps, websites, and databases. Azure virtual machines are available with multiple operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, and others. Moreover, Azure VMs are available in various sizes to support various workloads.
