Abstract
Workshop
In this workshop you will learn to design solutions using Azure’s native security and management services. With increasing number of resources running in the cloud, enterprises will need to apply the right capabilities to secure and well manage their data and resources.
At the end of this workshop, you will be better able to design and implement security and management solutions in Azure including inventory tracking and management, application performance monitoring , preventative maintenance and application and security alerting.
Whiteboard design session
In this whiteboard design session, you will work in a group to examine Contoso's enterprise environment with resources hosted on both on-premises and Azure. In a small working team, you will whiteboard design how Azure Security Center, Key Vault, Update management, as well as Azure Monitor and Application Insights, can help secure and well manage applications and virtual machines. You will also have the opportunity to design governance through Azure Policy.
At the end of this whiteboard design session, you will be better able to design a security and management solutions in Azure including inventory tracking and management, application performance monitoring, preventative maintenance and application and security alerting.
Hands-on lab
In this hands-on lab, you will first deploy a simple web application and database to Azure IaaS VMs, using a Resource Manager Template and Azure Automation DSC. You will then configure a range of infrastructure management capabilities on this deployment, including Update Management, Security Center, Service Map, Change Tracking and Application Insights. You will use Azure Monitor to configure application alerts and send, via both email and mobile application notifications. You will also learn how to further investigate infrastructure status using Log Analytics queries. In doing so, you will learn both how to deploy these solutions and be introduced to their capabilities.
At the end of this hands-on lab, you will be better able to design, implement and use a wide range of infrastructure management systems in Azure.
NOTE: The setup tasks should be completed in advance of the hands-on lab to save deployment time.
