Operationalizing LLMs on Azure

A four-week route into LLMs on Azure

This intermediate Coursera course is built around a four-week sequence that starts with Azure AI services and the Azure portal, then moves toward large language models. It suits people who know basic programming and have some familiarity with Azure but have not yet built with LLMs.

What the skill list points to

Retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, prompt engineering and OpenAI models appear alongside model deployment and Python programming. Together they describe a practical path from a single prompt to an application that answers questions over material you supply.

Practical notes

• Good for data scientists and AI enthusiasts moving toward production LLM work.
• The Azure portal is the working environment, so get comfortable with it early.
• Prompt design is covered as one skill among several rather than as the whole course.

A learner who wants theory alone may find the emphasis on Azure services more concrete than conceptual.
