    • In this module, you will:

      • Decide if serverless computing is right for your business need
      • Create an Azure Function app in the Azure portal
      • Execute a function using triggers
      • Monitor and test your Azure Function from the Azure portal
    • Module 2: Learn how to define a workflow to run your business with Logic apps using built-in triggers, actions, and conditional operators.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Construct a workflow model that will solve your business problem
      • Launch your Logic App in response to an external event
      • Apply conditional logic to filter data and select a processing path
      • Integrate Azure services into your workflow
    • Module 3: Learn how Azure's storage queues, event hubs, event grid, and service bus can improve your communication between devices.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Describe events and messages, and the challenges you can use them to solve in a distributed application
      • Identify scenarios in which Storage queue is the best messaging technology for an application
      • Identify scenarios in which Event Grid is the best messaging technology for an application
      • Identify scenarios in which Event Hubs is the best messaging technology for an application
      • Identify scenarios in which Service Bus is the best messaging technology for an application
    • Module 4: Find out to use Azure Queue storage to handle high demand and improve resilience in your distributed applications.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Create an Azure Storage account that supports queues
      • Create a queue using C# and the Azure Storage Client Library for .NET
      • Add, retrieve, and remove messages from a queue using C# and the Azure Storage Client Library for .NET
    • Module 5: Learn to use Azure Event Hubs to reliably process high-volume data streams to enable you to code applications to send and receive messages through the hub.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Create an event hub using the Azure CLI
      • Configure applications to send or receive messages through the event hub
      • Evaluate performance of event hub using the Azure portal
    • Module 6: Discover how to write code in .NET applications using Azure Service Bus for communications that can handle high demand, low bandwidth, and hardware failures.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Choose whether to use Service Bus queues or topics to communicate in a distributed application
      • Configure an Azure Service Bus namespace in an Azure subscription
      • Create a Service Bus topic and use it to send and receive messages
      • Create a Service Bus queue and use it to send and receive messages
    • Module 7: Build a serverless application architecture, automate your operations, and integrate applications by handling Azure events with Event Grid.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Describe the capabilities and use cases for Event Grid
      • Create an application that handles events by using Event Grid and Logic Apps
    • Module 8: Securely expose services that run in your on-premises network to clients in the cloud, without having to open a port on your firewall or make intrusive changes to your corporate network infrastructure.
    • In this module, you will:

      • Describe the features and use cases for Azure Relay.
      • Create an application and expose it through Azure Relay.
