Deploy and administer Linux virtual machines on Azure Training in Germany

This training provides a practical and comprehensive introduction to deploying and managing Linux virtual machines (VMs) on Microsoft Azure.

Through nine structured modules, participants will learn how to create, configure, monitor, and maintain Linux-based environments using Azure tools and services.

The course covers key topics such as Azure CLI automation, VM configuration, monitoring solutions, backup strategies, and identity management. With a strong hands-on focus, the training prepares participants to efficiently manage Linux workloads within Azure cloud environments.

Participants should ideally have:

• Experience using the Azure Portal and Azure CLI

• Knowledge of identity management and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

• Familiarity with Linux server administration

• Basic understanding of Azure virtual machine management

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Deploy and configure Linux virtual machines on Azure

• Monitor and scale Linux VMs using Azure monitoring tools

• Implement security practices including managed identities and RBAC

• Automate administrative tasks using Azure CLI

• Integrate services such as Azure Backup and Azure Monitor for VM management
