About this class

Azure Fundamentals is the entry point to Microsoft's cloud. It explains what cloud computing is, how Azure is organised, and how organisations use it to run applications, store data and stay secure.

You move from cloud concepts to the core Azure services, then to security, privacy, compliance, pricing and service-level agreements, so you can speak confidently about cloud in any technical or business conversation.

Who it's for: Career changers, students, help-desk and support staff, sales and project professionals, and anyone starting a cloud or IT career.

Prerequisites: None. No prior cloud or technical experience is required.

Career roles

  • Cloud support associate
  • Service-desk analyst moving into cloud
  • Junior cloud administrator
  • Technical sales / pre-sales support
  • Project coordinator on cloud programmes

What you will learn

Industry trends: why this matters now

Cloud is the default

Most new applications are built cloud-first, so basic cloud literacy is now expected in nearly every IT role and a growing number of business roles.

Hybrid and multi-cloud

Organisations mix on-premises systems, Azure and other clouds, which raises demand for people who understand how the pieces fit together.

Cost discipline (FinOps)

Controlling cloud spend has become its own discipline. Knowing how pricing works is a valued baseline skill.

AI delivered through the cloud

AI and data services are consumed through cloud platforms, making cloud fundamentals the first step towards AI-related roles.
