1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:01,770
In my opinion,

2
00:00:01,770 --> 00:00:05,490
the Azure File Sync service is a great example of Microsoft's

3
00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:09,060
cleverness in terms of how they use certain Azure products.

4
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:11,520
The general‑purpose storage account, as you know,

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,800
has the four services,

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,910
Blob, Table, Queue, and Files, and I know when I was

7
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:17,500
newer to Azure I thought, wait a minute,

8
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,840
why do we care about hosting file shares in Azure?

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,020
We're not going to expose the Server Message Block port on

10
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:25,910
our internet firewall for heaven's sake.

11
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:29,030
Well, Microsoft does some neat things to leverage that service.

12
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:32,360
Cloud Shell would be another example of that engineering.

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,130
I also submit, in conclusion, that your learning Azure Monitor in general

14
00:00:36,130 --> 00:00:40,290
and Kusto query language in particular is going to carry you a long way in

15
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:44,240
your certification journey because more and more, besides seeing Azure

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,850
PowerShell and the Azure CLI, we see Kusto code on these Microsoft

17
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:53,510
certification exams; and number two, I submit, in your career as a Windows

18
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:57,750
Server hybrid cloud administrator, because the Kusto language is just so

19
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:01,940
universal across the Azure monitoring ecosystem. There's Log Analytics,

20
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:04,830
there's Microsoft Sentinel, there's Application Insights,

21
00:01:04,830 --> 00:01:06,040
there's Resource Graph,

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,640
it's all over the place. So, check the Pluralsight

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,740
library. We have some good Kusto training,

24
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:14,030
we have good Azure Monitor training as well. In the next module, we'll

25
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:19,000
Configure and Manage Windows Server File Shares. I look forward to seeing you then.
