Azure Compute Solutions

This course introduces containers as a practical way to package and run applications consistently in the cloud, much like shipping goods in standardized boxes that fit on any truck or ship. You begin by understanding why containers are valuable in modern cloud environments and how they simplify deployment and scaling. You then move through the full container workflow on Azure, starting with pushing container images to Azure Container Registry and running them using Azure Container Instances for simple, serverless deployments. From there, the course focuses on Azure Kubernetes Service, explaining its architecture and core building blocks such as nodes, pods, deployments, and services in clear and approachable terms. Finally, you deploy and scale prebuilt containerized applications on AKS, monitor application and cluster health with Azure Monitor, and learn how to troubleshoot common issues using Azure cloud tools. By the end of the course, you will have a solid, hands-on understanding of how containers are built, deployed, managed, and monitored in Azure.
