- How to create Azure Web Apps
- Deploy code from GitHub onto the Azure Web App
- Deploy an Azure SQL database
- Azure SQL Database auditing
- Azure SQL Database backup and restore and import/export as well
- How to deploy Azure SQL Server Virtual Machine
Then we will move onto Azure Networking where we will cover
- Working with the Azure Load Balancer
