- Module 1: Discover ways to use an Azure Storage account to manage your data for billing, access, and storage location of your blobs, files, queues, and tables.
In this module, you will:
- Decide how many storage accounts you need for your project
- Determine the appropriate settings for each storage account
- Create a storage account using the Azure portal
- Module 2: Learn how to configure Azure Blob Storage, including tiers and object replication.
In this module, you learn how to:
- Understand the purpose and benefits of Azure Blob Storage.
- Create and configure Azure Blob Storage accounts.
- Manage containers and blobs within Azure Blob Storage.
- Optimize blob storage performance and scalability.
- Implement lifecycle management policies to automate data movement and deletion.
- Determine the best pricing plans for your Azure Blob Storage.
- Module 3: Learn how to configure common Azure Storage security features like storage access signatures.
In this module, you learn how to:
- Configure a shared access signature (SAS), including the uniform resource identifier (URI) and SAS parameters.
- Configure Azure Storage encryption.
- Implement customer-managed keys.
- Recommend opportunities to improve Azure Storage security.
- Module 4: Ensure your data is stored, transferred, and accessed in a secure way using Azure storage and file security features.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Define data sovereignty and how that is achieved in Azure
- Configure Azure Storage access in a secure and managed way
- Encrypt your data while it is at rest and in transit
- Apply rules for data retention
- Module 5: Find out how Azure network security groups and service endpoints help you secure your virtual machines and Azure services from unauthorized network access.
In this module, you will:
- Identify the capabilities and features of network security groups.
- Identify the capabilities and features of virtual network service endpoints.
- Use network security groups to restrict network connectivity.
- Use virtual network service endpoints to control network traffic to and from Azure services.
- Module 6: In this module, you practice storing business data securely by using Azure Blob Storage and Azure Files. The lab combines both learning and hands-on practice.
In this module, you practice how to:
- Create and configure a storage account.
- Create and configure blob storage.
- Create and configure Azure Files.
