Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack Hub (AZ-600T00)

Posted on by

In this 4-Day class, you will learn deploying Azure Stack Hub, managing the Azure Stack Hub Marketplace, offering App Services and Event Hub resource providers, managing Azure Stack Hub registration, and maintaining system health. This class outlines how decisions in each of these areas affect an overall solution. Students will learn through a mix of live demonstrations and hands-on lab activities. This course assumes a working knowledge of Azure and familiarity with virtualization, networking, and identity management. Students are expected to have used the tools common to Azure environments, such as the Cloud Shell and Resource Explorer.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Students for AZ-600: Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack Hub are interested in becoming Azure Stack Hub operators who provide cloud services to end users or customers from within their own data center using Azure Stack Hub. Azure Stack Hub operators responsibilities include planning, deploying, packaging, updating, and maintaining the Azure Stack Hub infrastructure. They also offer hybrid cloud resources and requested services and manage infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS).

PREREQUISITES

Successful Azure Stack Hub students have prior experience with operating systems, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, storage structures, and networking:
