Manage Storage in Azure

Course details

A strong understanding of cloud storage is vital not only for successfully managing data, but also for optimizing cloud spend. In this course, instructor Nicole Stevens covers important aspects of storage in Azure, including code-related deployments, deploying environments with storage accounts via code and Azure Bicep, along with how to authorize access through SDKs for developers. This demo-focused course provides instruction for managing Azure storage with PowerShell and the Azure CLI as well as in the Azure portal.
