Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, AZ-300 certification can help you achieve all this and more. Whether you want to get certified or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. The book features not only the different exam objectives, but also guides you through configuring, managing, securing, and architecting Azure resources. Divided into five modules, this book will systematically take you through the different concepts and features as you advance through the sections. The first module demonstrates how to deploy and configure infrastructure. You will cover techniques related to implementing workloads and security, before learning how to create and deploy apps in the next module. To build on your knowledge, the final two modules will get you up to speed with implementing authentication, data security, and application and platform monitoring, along with covering Azure storage, alerting, and automation strategies. Finally, you’ll work through exam-based mock tests with answers to boost your confidence in passing the exam. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know in order to prepare for the AZ-300 exam, along with the skills to design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Configuring Azure Disk Encryption for VMs

Azure Disk Encryption for VMs can help you to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments by encrypting the disks of your VMs in Azure. For Windows VMs, it uses the BitLocker feature and, for Linux VMs, it uses the DM-Crypt feature for encryption of the OS and data disks. Azure Disk Encryption is available for Windows and Linux VMs with a minimum of 2 GB of memory, and for Standard VMs and VMs with Azure Premium Storage.

For more information about the prerequisites of Azure Disk Encryption, you can refer to the following site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/azure-security-disk-encryption-prerequisites.

It uses Azure Key Vault to help to control and manage the disk encryption keys and secrets. Azure Disk Encryption also ensures that disks that are stored in Azure Storage are encrypted at rest.

You will get a High Severity alert in Azure Security Center if you have VMs that are not encrypted. From there, you will...
