AZ-104 Azure administrator in German

Who it is for

For everyone who sets up and runs Azure for a team or a company without writing applications for it: administration, IT operations, support staff who want to move up.

Prerequisites

AZ-900 compact or equivalent knowledge, basic knowledge of operating systems, networking (IP addresses, ports, DNS), servers and virtualization, and no fear of the command line. No programming skills are needed. The exercises need an Azure account, ideally a test account of your own; lesson 0.1 explains cost and clean-up.

Afterward, you can

• Set up a practice account, keep an eye on cost and clean up every exercise
• Manage users, groups, licenses, external guests and role assignments in Microsoft Entra ID and Azure
• Organize subscriptions, management groups, policies, locks, tags and cost
• Set up, secure and fill storage accounts, blob containers and file shares with the tools
• Deploy, scale and run virtual machines, containers and App Service, also from ARM and Bicep templates
• Set up virtual networks, security groups, load balancers and name resolution and troubleshoot network faults
• Set up and read Azure Monitor, alerts, Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery
