In this Course you will learn about how to plan, design, implement and monitor Azure cloud services and Azure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

This Course does not require prior azure knowledge and we will cover from the basics of azure to deploy the AVD Infrastructure

This training course is a combination of Azure Architect (AZ-305) and AZ-140 where I have included topics from Azure compute, network, storage and Identity and Access management as well as Azure Virtual Desktop so such mix and match you would not find anywhere.

All concepts covered in this course are aligned to the following Exam Objectives

Plan an Azure Virtual Desktop Architecture

Implement an Azure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Manage Access and Security

Manage User Environments and Apps

Monitor and Maintain an Azure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
