Course aimed at
This course is intended for Azure administrators who migrate and manage SAP solutions on Azure. Azure administrators manage cloud services that span storage, networking, and cloud computing functions, with a deep understanding of each service across the IT lifecycle. They take end-user requests for new cloud applications and make recommendations on which services to use for optimal performance and scale, as well as provisioning, resizing, monitoring, and tuning as appropriate. This role requires communicating and coordinating with vendors. Azure administrators use the Azure Portal, and as they become more proficient, they use PowerShell and the command-line interface.
