AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect Training

AZ-305: Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions is an instructor-led training course designed for cloud architects, solutions architects, senior administrators, and IT professionals who are responsible for designing secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective solutions on Microsoft Azure. Aligned with the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification pathway, the course focuses on transforming business requirements into architecture designs that support organisational objectives while adhering to Microsoft best practices, governance standards, and cloud adoption strategies.

As organisations continue accelerating cloud adoption, solutions architects play a critical role in designing environments that balance security, performance, operational excellence, reliability, and cost efficiency. This course provides the knowledge and practical skills required to evaluate architectural options, justify design decisions, and create Azure solutions that meet both technical and business requirements.

A major focus of the course is applying guidance from the Azure Well-Architected Framework and Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. Participants learn how to assess workloads against core architectural pillars including reliability, security, performance efficiency, operational excellence, and cost optimisation. Through practical design exercises and case studies, learners develop the ability to make informed architecture decisions that support long-term business success.

The training explores identity, security, and governance design strategies for enterprise Azure environments. Participants learn how to design solutions using Microsoft Entra ID, implement governance controls with management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and Azure Policy, and establish security practices that support compliance, risk management, and organisational standards.

Networking and connectivity architecture form another key area of study. Participants learn how to design hybrid and cloud-native network solutions using Azure Virtual Networks, VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute, network segmentation, traffic management services, and secure communication patterns. The course focuses on selecting appropriate connectivity and architecture designs based on business, performance, and security requirements.

Data platform and storage architecture are covered extensively throughout the course. Learners explore Azure storage services, database technologies, integration patterns, and data platform architectures for both relational and non-relational workloads. Participants develop the skills needed to select storage and data solutions that align with scalability, availability, performance, and cost objectives.

Business continuity, disaster recovery, and resiliency planning are integrated throughout the curriculum. Participants learn how to design highly available Azure environments using redundancy, failover, backup, replication, and recovery strategies. These capabilities help organisations minimise disruption while supporting critical business operations during unexpected events.

The course also examines monitoring, observability, and operational management. Participants learn how to design monitoring architectures using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and governance tools that provide operational visibility across complex cloud environments. These solutions support proactive management, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Hands-on design activities, architectural reviews, and scenario-based exercises enable participants to create architecture diagrams, evaluate design trade-offs, document assumptions, identify risks, and prepare recommendations that align with enterprise governance and compliance requirements. The emphasis remains on architecture planning and solution design rather than day-to-day administration tasks.

Aligned with the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) certification objectives, this course provides comprehensive exam preparation while developing practical solution architecture skills that are highly valued across cloud transformation, enterprise technology, and digital innovation initiatives.

This course is ideal for Solutions Architects, Cloud Architects, Senior Azure Administrators, Infrastructure Architects, Enterprise Architects, Cloud Engineers, Technical Consultants, and IT professionals responsible for designing Microsoft Azure solutions. Training is available across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra, as well as through live online delivery throughout Australia. A Certificate of Attendance is included upon completion.
