Azure

Learn how to design highly reliable, available, and resilient workloads. Apply core design principles to workloads that typically target maximum uptime.

Prerequisites

  • Experience designing a workload that includes core infrastructure technology such as data storage, compute, and networking
  • Good understanding of the quality principles provided in Azure Well-Architected Framework

Modules in this learning path

Challenge Project - Design a mission-critical web application

You're given an example web workload architecture, its current state, tradeoffs, and business requirements for improvements. You want to make it highly available and resilient using Azure's capabilities.

Note

This module is a Challenge Project module, where you complete an end-to-end project using high-level guidance; there are no step-by-step instructions for the actual implementation.

Design a health model for your mission-critical workload

A well-designed application health model gives you contextualized observability by using metrics and thresholds, which you consider important for your mission-critical workload.

Continuously validate and test mission-critical workloads

You want to be aware of potential problems and be ready to respond so that your workload stays operational even when failures occur. Learn how to set up automated tests using Azure Load Testing and Azure Chaos Studio simultaneously as part of your continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
