Another session on Microsoft Azure, this time for our Swedish partners. It was a 2 day training at Ingram Micro Sweden offices, with nice cozy weather conditions (it was -10, but feels like was close to -15:). The group was compiled of experienced IT Pros. Primary focus of the training is on
Infrastructure-as-a-Service model, with demos and hands on labs focusing
on predefined scenarios in operating, planning, creating and
configuring the IaaS environment.
Day 1 was focused on Azure
Fundamentals: Welcome and introduction, Azure Portal, Resource Groups,
Storage Accounts, Virtual networks and Network Interfaces (incl PIP,
VPN, Gateways and Peering), Network Security Groups, Virtual Machines,
VM Extensions, Scale and Availability Sets, Load Balancer,
Traffic Manager. We finished strong with deploying WordPress Multi-tier app and Acronis Backup Blueprints.
Day 2, after the wrap up of Day 1 and discussion, was reserved for more Blueprints - Remote Desktop Services (Small Business Server Replacement) and CheckPoint Blueprints. We spiced up things with short presentation on what's new in Microsoft azure or what's coming in near future, as well as Azure Calculator session.
Had quite a few discussion on solution designs, real world problems, and did quite a brainstorming with the group. Looking forward on seeing them progress further in the Azure model and mapping their clients needs to specific workloads and solutions.
