Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our training courses

Azure virtual machine creation, configuration, and management are covered as core infrastructure skills, including the deployment of scale sets for high-availability and auto-scaling scenarios. Storage account configuration, availability zone design, and ARM template-based resource deployment are addressed alongside VM management, giving delegates a complete picture of how Azure compute and storage infrastructure is deployed, structured, and managed at an enterprise level.  

Azure networking is addressed in significant technical depth, covering VNet architecture and subnet design, NSG configuration and traffic filtering, Azure Load Balancer and Application Gateway, DNS services and domain management, VPN Gateway for site-to-site connectivity, and ExpressRoute for dedicated hybrid cloud networking. Network monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimisation are also covered, giving delegates a complete networking capability across both cloud-native and hybrid connectivity scenarios.  

Azure Key Vault is covered as a core security control, addressing how cryptographic keys, secrets, and certificates are stored, managed, and accessed securely within Azure environments. Delegates learn how Key Vault integrates with other Azure services to enforce secrets management best practices and how it supports compliance and governance requirements around sensitive credential and key material. This is directly relevant for those responsible for securing application credentials, encryption keys, and certificates within Azure-hosted workloads.  

Azure containers and Kubernetes fundamentals are covered as part of the cloud deployment and infrastructure management content, addressing how containerised applications are deployed and managed within Azure and how Azure Kubernetes Service is used to orchestrate container workloads at scale. Delegates gain a working understanding of how containers and Kubernetes fit within the broader Azure deployment architecture, which is directly relevant for those working in application deployment, DevOps, or cloud-native development environments.  

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is covered as the foundation of Azure identity management, addressing directory structure, user and group management, and how Entra ID integrates with broader IAM frameworks across Azure environments. Role-Based Access Control implementation, Multi-Factor Authentication, and Conditional Access policies are all covered as applied security disciplines, giving delegates a complete identity and access management capability applicable to enterprise Azure deployments of any scale.  

Azure Sentinel is covered within the monitoring and security operations content, addressing how it functions as a cloud-native SIEM and SOAR platform for collecting, analysing, and responding to security events across the Azure environment. SOC integration is addressed as a practical operational framework, covering how Sentinel supports security incident detection, investigation, and response workflows within an enterprise security operations context. This is directly applicable for those working in or building cloud security operations functions.
