0:00:08.120000 --> 0:00:13.380000
 Hi, welcome to the I-NE On-Demand course,
 Azure Administration, Resource

0:00:13.380000 --> 0:00:15.460000
 Monitoring, and Protection.

0:00:15.460000 --> 0:00:21.180000
 This course aligns with the Microsoft
 Certification exam, AZ-104, covers

0:00:21.180000 --> 0:00:26.280000
 one of the major objective domains of
 that exam, and that exam, of course,

0:00:26.280000 --> 0:00:30.820000
 is for a Microsoft Certified Azure
 Administrator Associate.

0:00:30.820000 --> 0:00:34.860000
 I'm Tracy Wals and I am the
 instructor for this exam.

0:00:34.860000 --> 0:00:39.120000
 I've been working in Azure
 for, well, since 2011.

0:00:39.120000 --> 0:00:44.600000
 I've been a Microsoft Certified trainer
 since 1995, and I've been in the

0:00:44.600000 --> 0:00:48.740000
 IT industry for, shall we say, a good
 bit longer than that, and it makes

0:00:48.740000 --> 0:00:52.160000
 me sad every time I say how long,
 so I won't say it exactly.

0:00:52.160000 --> 0:00:55.580000
 Anyways, if you want to get in touch
 with me, that's really the main point

0:00:55.580000 --> 0:00:57.600000
 of this particular slide.

0:00:57.600000 --> 0:01:01.660000
 Feel free to reach out via email, via
 Twitter, or if you want to connect

0:01:01.660000 --> 0:01:05.760000
 on LinkedIn, I'll absolutely
 connect with you.

0:01:05.760000 --> 0:01:08.360000
 So there you go, reach
 out, you're good to go.

0:01:08.360000 --> 0:01:12.160000
 Now, let's take a minute to talk about
 what we're actually going to cover

0:01:12.160000 --> 0:01:15.120000
 in this particular course.

0:01:15.120000 --> 0:01:18.340000
 We're going to start out looking at
 the basics of resource monitoring.

0:01:18.340000 --> 0:01:21.140000
 Anytime you have resources, you need
 monitoring, so we're going to look

0:01:21.140000 --> 0:01:23.880000
 at the tools that are built in to Azure,
 the capabilities that are built

0:01:23.880000 --> 0:01:29.360000
 into Azure, that are really your baseline
 resource monitoring capabilities.

0:01:29.360000 --> 0:01:33.280000
 Then, we're really going to kind of
 step it up beyond that and take a

0:01:33.280000 --> 0:01:37.040000
 look at Azure Monitor, which is a centralized
 tool for all your monitoring

0:01:37.040000 --> 0:01:42.300000
 needs, and Log Analytics, which is really
 the data collection and analytics

0:01:42.300000 --> 0:01:44.260000
 engine behind it.

0:01:44.260000 --> 0:01:47.800000
 We'll also take a look at one of my favorite
 topics, which is application

0:01:47.800000 --> 0:01:54.000000
 monitoring, and what you can do to enhance
 the monitoring of your applications

0:01:54.000000 --> 0:01:56.240000
 that are hosted in the
 Azure environment.

0:01:56.240000 --> 0:01:58.780000
 Then, we're going to look a little
 bit at some protection.

0:01:58.780000 --> 0:02:02.160000
 We'll take a look at recovery services,
 what are the recovery services

0:02:02.160000 --> 0:02:06.140000
 that are available in Azure, and particularly,
 we're going to take a look

0:02:06.140000 --> 0:02:09.040000
 and dive into Azure Backup.

0:02:09.040000 --> 0:02:15.240000
 Those are the big topic areas that we're
 going to cover, and these topic

0:02:15.240000 --> 0:02:19.960000
 areas align pretty nicely to the monitoring
 backup Azure resources in

0:02:19.960000 --> 0:02:21.140000
 the AZ-104 exam.

0:02:21.140000 --> 0:02:25.500000
 Now, one of the things that I always
 stress with the courses that I create

0:02:25.500000 --> 0:02:29.760000
 is that these courses are often aligned
 with an exam, but they are not

0:02:29.760000 --> 0:02:32.660000
 explicitly exam preparation.

0:02:32.660000 --> 0:02:38.260000
 The idea, frankly, is to make you understand
 Azure to a level that goes

0:02:38.260000 --> 0:02:42.740000
 beyond just the certification, and being
 able to take the certification

0:02:42.740000 --> 0:02:45.360000
 that aligns with it is
 really just a bonus.

0:02:45.360000 --> 0:02:48.720000
 So, if you're not interested in certification,
 these courses are designed

0:02:48.720000 --> 0:02:51.160000
 to still have value for you.

0:02:51.160000 --> 0:02:56.120000
 Let's take a look, though, at the depth
 of what is in this particular

0:02:56.120000 --> 0:03:01.700000
 objective domain under the Microsoft Certified
 Azure Administrator Associate

0:03:01.700000 --> 0:03:07.940000
 exam. So, we really cover two major
 areas within this objective domain.

0:03:07.940000 --> 0:03:09.640000
 First is monitoring resources.

0:03:09.640000 --> 0:03:13.920000
 We're going to talk about that, collecting
 metrics, using log analytics,

0:03:13.920000 --> 0:03:18.240000
 being able to query log analytics, also
 being able to set up and use alerts,

0:03:18.240000 --> 0:03:21.260000
 and my favorite topic,
 application insights.

0:03:21.260000 --> 0:03:24.360000
 Then we're also going to look
 back up and recovery.

0:03:24.360000 --> 0:03:28.160000
 We'll talk a little bit about backup
 reports, so that's right at the end.

0:03:28.160000 --> 0:03:30.520000
 And we'll look at using
 Azure Backup.

0:03:30.520000 --> 0:03:32.760000
 How can we back up and restore?

0:03:32.760000 --> 0:03:35.120000
 What is soft delete?

0:03:35.120000 --> 0:03:39.980000
 And also, we'll look at policies and
 briefly take a look at site-to-site

0:03:39.980000 --> 0:03:43.480000
 recovery using Azure
 site recovery.

0:03:43.480000 --> 0:03:50.080000
 All right, now, what do you
 need to get going in this?

0:03:50.080000 --> 0:03:55.140000
 Well, really, you want to have the
 Azure Fundamentals, if you will, a

0:03:55.140000 --> 0:04:00.060000
 fundamental understanding of Azure before
 you really dive into these topics.

0:04:00.060000 --> 0:04:08.640000
 Now, in the learning path for the AZ-104 related
 exam, there are the prerequisites.

0:04:08.640000 --> 0:04:13.840000
 We do have a learning path that is really
 dedicated to Azure Fundamentals.

0:04:13.840000 --> 0:04:17.840000
 So you can go through that learning path,
 really two out of three courses

0:04:17.840000 --> 0:04:20.560000
 from that learning path that you would
 really need for this course are

0:04:20.560000 --> 0:04:24.580000
 listed in the prereqs for
 this entire learning path.

0:04:24.580000 --> 0:04:27.860000
 So make sure that you are solid
 on the Azure Fundamentals.

0:04:27.860000 --> 0:04:30.240000
 You don't have to go through the courseware,
 but you do want to have things

0:04:30.240000 --> 0:04:34.140000
 like an understanding of what a subscription
 is, what are the tools to

0:04:34.140000 --> 0:04:35.680000
 manage Azure, etc.

0:04:35.680000 --> 0:04:39.460000
 All right, so thank you for joining
 me in this course, and I hope that

0:04:39.460000 --> 0:04:42.440000
 you enjoy it and that you get
 the information that you need.
