Why Choose This Course

AZ-204T00: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure is an instructor-led course designed for developers who build cloud applications on Microsoft Azure. The training covers the end-to-end development lifecycle across Azure services—implementing compute with App Service and Functions, creating containerised solutions with Azure Container Registry, Azure Container Instances and Azure Container Apps, and working with data using Blob storage and Azure Cosmos DB. It also guides learners through identity, authentication and authorisation with Microsoft Entra ID, securing secrets with Azure Key Vault, and managing configuration safely with Azure App Configuration.

The course is aligned to the skills measured for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification and helps learners prepare for the AZ‑204 exam. You will learn to connect to and consume Azure services and third‑party APIs, design event‑driven and message‑based architectures with Event Grid, Event Hubs and Service Bus, and apply monitoring and optimisation practices using Application Insights. Practical labs and hands‑on scenarios emphasise real‑world application development so you can design, build and troubleshoot solutions that meet modern performance and security expectations.

This course is relevant for software engineers, cloud developers and technical professionals seeking to deepen Azure development capability to support projects in application modernisation, SaaS enablement and cloud‑native delivery across Australia. Key topics reflect current industry demand for skills such as serverless development, container microservices, secure configuration management, and observable, resilient applications. A certificate of course attendance is included.
