Azure PaaS Fundamentals: Deploying Cloud-Native Applications

Designing and deploying applications in the cloud shouldn't require managing complex virtual machines and infrastructure. Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) allows you to focus entirely on your code while the platform handles provisioning, scaling, and maintenance. This course equips you with the fundamental knowledge to design, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications using key Azure PaaS offerings. You will transition from understanding basic cloud architectures to deploying web applications and configuring essential database and storage integrations. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture and benefits of Azure PaaS compared to IaaS and SaaS - Configure and deploy web applications using Azure App Services - Manage cloud data using Azure SQL Database and Azure Storage solutions - Deploy containerized applications using Azure Container Apps for modern microservices - Monitor application health and performance using Azure Monitor and Application Insights - Apply basic infrastructure-as-code principles to provision PaaS resources reliably You will start with fundamental cloud concepts and terminology before exploring core PaaS services through clear, step-by-step written explanations, architecture breakdowns, and practical configuration scenarios. This text-based course is designed for developers, system administrators, and technology professionals new to cloud-native development, with no prior Azure experience required.
