Course aimed at

This course is designed for Azure administrators who migrate and manage SAP solutions in Azure. Azure administrators manage cloud services that encompass storage, networking, and cloud computing, possessing in-depth knowledge of each service throughout the IT lifecycle. They take end-user requests for new cloud applications and make recommendations on which services to use to achieve optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, resize, monitor, and adjust as needed. This role requires communication and coordination with vendors. Azure administrators use the Azure portal and, as they become more proficient, they also use PowerShell and the command-line interface.
