Microsoft Azure Infrastructure as a Service Overview

30th and 31st March from 17:00

Since this will be a hands-on workshop, bring your own laptop.

Microsoft Azure is an internet-scale, high-availability cloud fabric operating on globally-distributed Microsoft data centers. Microsoft Azure and related tools support the development and deployment of applications into a hosted environment that extends the on-premises data center. The Microsoft Azure IaaS platform can be used advantageously to deploy existing and new application platforms mainly composed of the following:

• Operating systems
• Applications
• Middleware
• Database servers
• Third-party components and frameworks
• Internal and external networking configurations required for communications

This workshop is a combination of an Azure Compute overview training and a guided walk through the Azure Portal. Including e.g. setting up a server or website in Azure to run and test applications on the newest Windows version.
