    • Troubleshoot using incredible views, meaningful insights, and actionable logs and metrics.
    • Monitor the entire solution - applications, databases, and any other backend services.
  • Module 2: Create a Terraform configuration, provision your Azure resources, and set up your project for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) by using either GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Create a Terraform configuration for your Azure resources.
    • Provision your infrastructure and deploy it to Azure.
    • Set up your project for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) by using either GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines.
  • Module 3: Learn how to drive higher utilization of your Java apps on Azure using autoscaling
  • By the end of this module, you can:

    • Set up a sample Azure Spring Cloud architecture that scales up and down based on load
    • Understand autoscaling concepts
    • Monitor the effects of autoscaling
    • Understand common design patterns for autoscaling
  • Module 4: In this module, you will learn how to use Azure to host your Java web apps, built by using IntelliJ IDEA.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Create a web app in IntelliJ IDEA
    • Deploy the app to Azure by using the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ
    • Manage deployed web app configurations using the Azure Toolkit
  • Module 5: Use the Maven plugin for Azure App Service to develop a Java web app and deploy the app to Azure.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Develop a Java web app
    • Configure the Maven plugin for Azure App Service
    • Deploy the app to Azure App Service using the Maven Plugin
  • Module 6: Use the Maven Plugin for Azure Functions to create a cloud-based function that is triggered when certain values are passed in the HTTP request, and outputs a log entry to track the activity.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Create a function project using a Maven archetype
    • Run and test the function locally
    • Deploy the function using the Maven Plugin for Azure Functions
