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.

Summary

In this chapter, we finished the Implement Management and Security Solutions objective by covering how to configure access to Azure resources by assigning roles, configuring management access, creating a custom role, and assigning RBAC roles, as well as seeing how to implement and set Azure policies.

We then examined how Azure Blueprints can create standardized deployments for our subscriptions, and finally, we created a management group to organize resources better.

In the next chapter, we will start the Implement Solutions for Apps objective, beginning with Azure Web Apps, Azure Logic Apps, and Azure Functions.
