Course Overview
AZ-104 Azure Administrator Training
Many of the company's apps have been shifted to Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform. Someone has to determine who will be able to log in, where files will be stored, how servers will be configured, how networks will be connected, and how everything will be backed up. The person is known as an Azure Administrator.
In this course, AZ-104 Azure Administrator Training, you will learn how to do this role. You learn Azure step-by-step, rather than by reading theory. This course also prepares you for the Microsoft exam, AZ-104, which is for this role.
What Does an Azure Administrator Actually Manage?
An Azure Administrator is like the person who makes sure that a company's cloud is clean, safe, and running smoothly. Daily work includes:
- Managing Azure subscriptions and resource groups
- Giving the right people the right access
- Setting up storage for files and data
- Creating and looking after virtual machines
- Managing virtual networks
- Setting rules to keep resources organized
- Taking backups and watching for problems
This is the core of Azure Administrator Training. You learn what administrators do at work, not just what the terms mean.
Managing Azure Subscriptions, Resources and Governance
Azure is like a large office building. It requires a subscription to use, and resource groups are similar to folders that organize related resources. A company can easily lose sight of its business and its spending if it is not well organised.
In Microsoft Azure Administrator Training, you learn to:
- Create and organize resource groups
- Add tags, which are labels that make resources easy to find
- Use Azure Policy to set rules, such as which regions can be used
- Control who can create, change, or delete things
This is called governance. It simply means keeping the cloud organized and under control.
Azure Identity and Access Management
Not all employees in a company need to be empowered equally. Azure uses Microsoft Entra ID to manage users, groups, and roles.
Let's take a simple example. The developer should be able to read files from one storage account, but should not be able to modify the entire subscription. Using role-based access control (RBAC), the administrator only provides that developer with the access required. Least privilege means that you grant access to an individual as necessary, and it is one of the most critical security practices for cloud work.
Managing Azure Storage
Azure is used to store a variety of items, including photos, documents, and backups. You learn how to:
- Create storage accounts
- Use Blob Storage for files and File Shares for shared folders
- Choose redundancy, which decides how many copies of data are kept
- Pick access tiers, so rarely used data costs less
- Control who can open the data
The goal is simple. It is important to understand which storage option is suitable for a particular job, how to set it up and how to keep it safe.
Deploying and Managing Azure Virtual Machines
A virtual machine (VM) is a computer that operates in the cloud, rather than on your desk. State that an app requires a Windows or Linux server. The administrator must select the appropriate size, install disks, network it, and manage access to it.
In this section of the AZ-104 Azure Administrator Course, you will learn how to create VMs, select sizes, manage disks, check VM availability, and perform basic maintenance. These tasks are performed by you in the Azure portal.
Managing Azure Virtual Networks
A virtual network (VNet) is the private road network that enables Azure resources to communicate. You are introduced to subnets, IP addresses, network security groups (NSGs), and basic routing.
When an app cannot connect, a good administrator checks the path in order:
App → subnet → NSG rules → route → target resource
It's better to check step by step than to guess, and this is the way it is done in labs.
Backup, Monitoring and Resource Management
Every company has its share of problems. Files are deleted, servers slow down and settings are changed by accident. There are three questions that an administrator must answer: What happened? What is impacted? How can it be recovered?
You use Azure Backup to protect and restore data, Azure Monitor to monitor resources, alerts to alert you early, and resource health checks to see what's broken.
Practical Azure Administrator Projects
Azure Resource Management Setup: Organize a small company's Azure account with resource groups, tags, roles, and policies.
Secure Application Infrastructure: Create a virtual network, add subnets and NSGs, deploy a VM on the virtual network, and configure access control.
Azure Storage and Backup: Create a storage account, manage access to the data, configure backups, and recover a deleted item.
Azure Monitoring Exercise: Enable monitoring, view metrics, set up alerts, and solve a trivial issue.
AZ-104 Certification Training
The AZ-104 Certification Training course is designed to help you prepare for the exam AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator. The certification demonstrates your knowledge and skills in managing Azure environments. It doesn't mean you're an expert, as experience is also important.
Please note that the Microsoft AZ-104 certification is given by Microsoft. A SoftCrayons certificate shows you completed the training. These are two different things.
AZ-104 Exam Preparation
AZ-104 Exam Preparation in this course includes:
- Topic-wise revision
- Practice questions
- Scenario-based questions
- Hands-on Azure exercises
- Mock tests
- Troubleshooting practice
- Extra revision for weak areas
Exam details such as the number of questions, time limit, and passing score can change. Always check Microsoft's official exam page before you book your exam.
