  • In this module, you will:

    • Create an event hub using the Azure CLI
    • Configure applications to send or receive messages through the event hub
    • Evaluate performance of event hub using the Azure portal
  • Module 6: Discover how to write code in .NET applications using Azure Service Bus for communications that can handle high demand, low bandwidth, and hardware failures.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Choose whether to use Service Bus queues or topics to communicate in a distributed application
    • Configure an Azure Service Bus namespace in an Azure subscription
    • Create a Service Bus topic and use it to send and receive messages
    • Create a Service Bus queue and use it to send and receive messages
  • Module 7: Build a serverless application architecture, automate your operations, and integrate applications by handling Azure events with Event Grid.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Describe the capabilities and use cases for Event Grid
    • Create an application that handles events by using Event Grid and Logic Apps
  • Module 8: Securely expose services that run in your on-premises network to clients in the cloud, without having to open a port on your firewall or make intrusive changes to your corporate network infrastructure.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Describe the features and use cases for Azure Relay.
    • Create an application and expose it through Azure Relay.
