authentication methods for password reset

AZ-300T02: Implementing Workloads and Security

Modules:

Lesson 1: Evaluating and Performing Server Migration to Azure

This module covers migrating workloads to a new environment, whether it be another datacenter, or to a public cloud, and setting clear goals for the migration. Goals include both technology-focused and business-focused goals for migrations, and the benefits to an organization’s business. Activities include components of the Azure migration process: creating a project, creating a collector, assessing readiness, and estimating costs.

Modules:

Lesson 1: Selecting Compute and Storage Solutions

Azure Architecture Center
Cloud design patterns
Competing consumers pattern
Cache-aside pattern As well as sharding patterns to divide a data store into horizontal partitions, or shards. Each shard has the same schema but holds its own distinct subset of the data.
Design and Connectivity Patterns

Lesson 2: Hybrid Networking

Combining site-to-site and point-to-site connectivity
Virtual network–to–virtual network connectivity as well as connecting across cloud providers for failover, backup, or even migration between providers such as AWS.

Using structured data stores
Address Durability of Data and Caching

AZ-300T04: Creating and Deploying Apps

Modules:

Lesson 1: Creating Web Applications using PaaS

This module provides and overview of Azure App Service Web Apps for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and a mobile back end. Topics include the following:

Using shell commands to create an App Service Web App
Creating Background Tasks
Using Swagger to document an API As well as an explanation of how Logic Apps help to build solutions that integrate apps, data, systems, and services across enterprises or organizations by automating tasks and business processes as workflows.
