AZ-305 Azure solutions architect expert in German

Who it is for

For everyone who designs Azure for a company or advises on it: administrators who want to move up, developers who want the whole picture, technical consultants and architects.

Prerequisites

AZ-104 (the course or equivalent experience running Azure: identity, storage, compute, networking, monitoring), basic knowledge of networks, databases and security. K4 helps but is not required. No programming skills are needed. The exercises are done on paper and cost nothing; whoever deploys a sketch bears the cost.

Afterward, you can

• Derive an Azure solution from requirements, name alternatives and justify the decision in a decision record
• Recommend logging, monitoring, sign-in, access, secrets, management structure and compliance
• Choose services for relational, semi-structured and unstructured data, data integration and data analysis
• Design backup, disaster recovery and high availability from recovery objectives
• Choose compute, messaging, events, APIs, caching, configuration and automated deployment
• Plan migrations of servers, applications, databases and files with the Cloud Adoption Framework
• Design network connections, network security, load balancing and routing
