Welcome to the Microsoft Entra ID learning module! Microsoft Entra ID is a cloud-based identity and access management service provided by Microsoft. Microsoft Entra ID is a comprehensive solution for managing identities, enforcing access policies, and securing your applications and data in the cloud and on-premises.

Title Subtitle This module aims to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of the following: Describe Microsoft Entra ID. Compare Microsoft Entra ID to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Describe how Microsoft Entra ID is used as a direct...

In this lesson, we explain what cloud computing is (and what it is not) using a simple definition you can reuse. We also cover the five essential characteristics that distinguish cloud computing from “just using the internet.” By the end, you should be able to recognize cloud scenarios quickly and avoid the most common misunderstandings.

Define Cloud Computing Short Summary In this lesson, we explain what cloud computing is (and what it is not) using a simple definition you can reuse. We also cover the five essential characteristics that distinguish cloud computing from “just using t...

The shared responsibility model explains how cloud responsibilities are split between Microsoft and you. Microsoft is responsible for **security of the cloud** (the Azure platform and infrastructure), while you are responsible for **security in the cloud** (how you configure and use what you deploy). This split changes depending on whether you use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS).

Public, private, and hybrid cloud deployment models fit different constraints. In this lesson, you’ll learn simple rules of thumb for choosing a model based on scaling needs, cost, control, compliance, and existing on-premises systems. You’ll also practice explaining your choice clearly from a short scenario.

Identify Appropriate Use Cases for Each Cloud Model Short Summary Public, private, and hybrid cloud deployment models fit different constraints. In this lesson, you’ll learn simple rules of thumb for choosing a model based on scaling needs, cost, con...

High availability is about keeping an application accessible when failures happen. Scalability is about handling demand changes by adding or removing resources. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to tell “failure problems” from “demand problems,” and how cloud makes both easier when you design for them.

Describe the Benefits of High Availability and Scalability in the Cloud Short Summary High availability is about keeping an application accessible when failures happen. Scalability is about handling demand changes by adding or removing resources. In ...

Reliability is the ability of a system to recover from failures and continue to function. Predictability is the ability to plan for more consistent performance and costs over time. This lesson explains both ideas, how they relate to high availability and scalability, and what you still need to design and configure to get these benefits.
