Microsoft Azure Architecture for AWS Architects

This course provides an easy to consume yet critical way for AWS architects to translate their knowledge to Azure. This will enable them to architect Azure-based solutions with minimal relearning.

AWS and Azure both have a large number of services and often there are equivalent services between the clouds. It can be difficult for architects looking at a new cloud to identify which solutions should be used based on their existing knowledge. In this course, Microsoft Azure Architecture for AWS Architects, you will learn foundational knowledge of Azure and its mapping to AWS services. First, you will learn key concepts related to Azure, including identity. Next, you will discover core functionality areas and their mappings to AWS. Finally, you will explore how to use key technologies as part of various architectures. When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of Azure needed to map architectures from AWS to Azure.
