Audience
The audience for this course is anyone who is just beginning to learn about cloud computing and how Microsoft Azure
provides that service. The course is suitable for non-technical and technical people, who are involved with cloud services and need an overview of Azure products and services.
This course is more suitable for program managers and technical sales, with a general IT background. These students want to learn about our offerings, see how components are implemented, and ask questions about products and features.
This course does not provide an Azure pass or time in the classroom for students to do any hands-on activities. Students can get a free trial and do the walkthroughs outside of class. There is a lot of material to choose from, based on the student’s interests.
