Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, the AZ-303 certification validates your knowledge and skills for all this and much more. Whether you want to take the certification exam or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. Divided into four modules, this book systematically takes you through the wide range of concepts and features covered in the AZ-303 exam. The first module demonstrates how to implement and monitor infrastructure. You'll develop the skills required to deploy and manage core Azure components such as virtual machines, networking, storage, and Active Directory (AD). As you progress, you'll build on that knowledge and learn how to create resilient and secure applications before moving on to working with web apps, functions, and containers. The final module will get you up to speed with data platforms such as SQL and Cosmos DB, including how to configure the different high availability options. Finally, you'll solve mock tests and assess yourself with the answers provided to get ready to take the exam with confidence. By the end of this book, you'll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know to prepare for the AZ-303 exam and design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Chapter 9: Managing Workloads in Azure

In the previous chapter, we learned how to implement and manage hybrid identities, as well as how to install and configure Azure AD Connect and the Azure AD Connect Health agents. Then, we migrated some users.

This chapter is the first chapter of the Implement Management and Security Solutions objective. In this chapter, we will cover Azure Migrate and the different tooling that is integrated with Azure Migrate that's used to create assessments and migrate servers, databases, web applications, and data to Azure. We are also going to migrate some Hyper-V VMs to Azure using Azure Migrate.

Next, we will see how to ensure that VMs are kept up to date using Azure Update Management.

Finally, we will then look at backup and recovery options, including how to implement a disaster recovery plan using Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding Azure Migrate
  • Selecting...
