• Managing Web Apps
• App Service Security
• Serverless Computing Concepts
• Managing Event Grid
• Managing Service Bus
• Managing Logic App

Module 8: Implementing Advanced Virtual Networking

• Azure Load Balancer
• Azure Application Gateway
• Site-to-Site VPN Connections As well as an overview of ExpressRoute which allows companies to extend on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a dedicated private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider.

Module 9: Securing Identities

• Azure Users and Groups
• Azure Roles As well as an overview of Azure AD integration options that focuses on Azure AD Connect to integrate on-premises directories with Azure Active Directory.

Module 10: 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.

Module 11: Hybrid Networking

• Site-to-site connectivity
• Point-to-site connectivity
• 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 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.

Module 14: Creating Apps and Services Running on Service Fabric

• Creating a reliable service
• Creating a Reliable Actors app
• Working with Reliable collections

Module 15: Using Azure Kubernetes Service This module focuses on the Azure

• How to reduce operational overhead of managing Kubernetes by offloading much of that responsibility to Azure, such as health monitoring and maintenance.

Module 16: Implementing Authentication

• Implementing authentication in applications (certificates, Azure AD, Azure AD Connect, token-based)
• Implementing multi-factor authentication
• Claims-based authorization
• Role-based access control (RBAC) authorization

Module 17: Implementing Secure Data

• End-to-end encryption
• Implementing Azure confidential computing
• Implementing SSL and TLS communications
• Managing cryptographic keys in Azure Key Vault

Module 18: Developing Long-Running Tasks and Distributed Transactions

• Implementing large-scale, parallel, and high-performance apps using batches
• HPC using Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
• Implementing resilient apps by using queues As well as, implementing code to address application events by using webhooks. Implementing a webhook gives an external resource a URL for an application. The external resource then issues an HTTP request to that URL whenever a change is made that requires the application to take an action.
