You're watching TVProTV. [MUSIC] Hey everybody, Mike Roderick here one of your edutainers at ITProTV, and I'm gonna be one of the hosts on the Microsoft Azure administrator series, preparing you for that AZ-104 exam. >> And I'm Adam Gordon also an edutainer here at ITProTV, and I'm gonna be one of the this means associated with this course for the AZ-104 exam. Mike and I are gonna be partnering up across different episodes, but you can see a lot of the other edutainer that we work with throughout the course. >> All right Adam, let's start with you know, what is this exam gonna give me if I go out and pass it? >> Absolutely so join me here, if you will, we'll just take a look at what Microsoft has put together for us to answer that exact question. Right down here underneath the exam overview, we're gonna see that this is part of the requirement to gain the Microsoft Certified Azure administrator associate certification. So you'll get that certification when you take and ultimately pass all of the requirements but this being the last of those requirements for that certification, hopefully if you do it in order, you'll become an Azure Administrator Associate. >> I like that idea, so how are we gonna structure this course? >> So when we take a look at what we're gonna do, there's several major blocks of topics, let's just scroll down so we can see what they are, Microsoft does a really nice job of setting them up for us. We could see the different elements that are gonna be assessed and look at at a high level here, we're gonna manage Azure identities and governance, we'll take a look at all sorts of security and identity related thoughts there. We'll take a look at implementing and managing storage, we'll talk about deploying and managing Azure compute resources, configuring and managing virtual networking lot to go over there. Notice it is between 30 and 35% of the overall course map, so it's gonna take almost over to about a third, approximately of the objectives are gonna sit just in that one area, in monitoring and backing up Azure resources. So these five major topic blocks together, are gonna make up the overarching thought process and we'll be carving up individual episodes in one or more of these areas to discuss the specific exam objectives you need to be aware of to take and pass the exam. >> Awesome Adam well I'm really excited about this, this might be one of your first certifications, maybe you've done the AZ-900, get that fundamentals out of the way, but this might be your introduction into Azure, and Azure is a pretty cool topic right now. >> It is really cool, it's always been cool it's especially cool right now with the advent of the cloud, but it continues to evolve and that's one of the really exciting things, that we spend a lot of time talking about throughout the course. You're gonna get to see new technology, see the different ways you can apply that technology both in the real world and of course to take and pass the exam. And of course, you're gonna get spent time with me and Mike, what could be better than that? >> I can't think of anything, Adam. All right, well, I'm excited I know you're excited, hope everybody out there is excited to get started, with Microsoft Azure administrator. >> See you soon. [MUSIC] >> Thank you for watching ITProTV.
