Syllabus

  • Automate Business Processes with Microsoft Azure
    • Microsoft Azure provides several different ways to host and execute code or workflows without using Virtual Machines (VMs) including Azure Functions, Microsoft Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps, and Azure WebJobs. In this module, you will learn about these technologies and how to choose the right one for a given scenario. You will also see how Azure Functions allow developers to host business logic that can be executed without managing or provisioning infrastructure.
  • Execute an Azure Function with triggers
    • A trigger is responsible for executing an Azure function and there are dozens of triggers to choose from. This module will show you some of the most common types of triggers and how to configure them to execute your logic.
  • Chain Azure Functions together using input and output bindings
    • Azure Functions makes it easy for your function code to integrate with data and services. In this module, you will learn to use bindings to declare the data sources to read and write, and let Azure Functions take care of the rest.
  • Modernize workflow with Azure Functions
    • In this module, you will learn how to orchestrate a long-running workflow as a set of activities using Durable Functions. You will use the Azure Functions Core Tools to create and run functions on a development computer and publish them to Azure. You will learn how to create, test, and deploy Azure Functions using Visual studio and how to manage Azure Function code.
  • Monitor GitHub events by using a webhook with Azure Functions
    • Webhooks offer a lightweight mechanism for your app to be notified by another service when something of interest happens. In this module. you'll learn how to trigger an Azure function with a GitHub webhook and parse the payload for insights.
  • Enable Automatic Updates and Build APIs
    • In this module, you will learn how to update a web app's notification mechanism from polling to push-based architecture with SignalR Service, Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Functions. You will also learn how to combine multiple Azure Functions apps into a unified interface by importing them into a single Azure API Management instance.
  • Practice Exam
    • In this module, you will take a practice exam that covers key skills measured in the Exam AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure.
