This module includes:

• Azure Architecture Center
• Cloud design patterns
• Competing consumers pattern
• Cache-aside pattern

As well as sharding patterns to divide a data store into horizontal partitions or shards. Each shard has the same schema but holds its own distinct subset of the data.

Module 2: Hybrid Networking

This module includes:

• Site-to-site connectivity
• Point-to-site connectivity
• Combining site-to-site and point-to-site connectivity
• Virtual network–to–virtual network connectivity

As well as connecting across cloud providers for failover, backup, or even migration between providers like AWS.

Module 3: Measuring Throughput and Structure of Data Access

This module includes:

• DTUs – Azure SQL Database
• RUs – Azure Cosmos DB
• Structured and unstructured data
• Using structured data stores

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Address Durability of Data and Caching 
• Measure Throughput and Structure of Data Access

AZ-300T04-A: Creating and Deploying Apps

Module 1: Creating Web Applications using PaaS

This module provides an overview of Azure App Service Web Apps for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and a mobile back end. Topics include:

• Using shell commands to create an App Service Web App
• Creating Background Tasks
• Using Swagger to document an API

As well as an explanation of how Logic Apps help to build solutions that integrate apps, data, systems, and services across enterprises or organisations by automating tasks and business processes as workflows.

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Use shell commands to create an App Service Web App
• Create Background Tasks
• Use Swagger to document an API

Module 2: Creating Apps and Services Running on Service Fabric

This module provides an overview of Azure Service Fabric as a distributed systems platform that makes it easy to package, deploy and manage scalable and reliable microservices and containers. This module also addresses the challenges in developing and managing cloud native applications. Additional topics:

• Creating a reliable service
• Creating a Reliable Actors app
• Working with Reliable collections

After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

• Create a reliable service
• Create a Reliable Actors app
• Hands-on with Reliable collections

Module 3: Using Azure Kubernetes Service

Kubernetes Service (AKS) for deploying and managing a Kubernetes cluster in Azure. Topics include how to reduce operational overhead of managing Kubernetes by offloading much of that responsibility to Azure, like health monitoring and maintenance. Additional topics include:

• Azure Container Registry
• Azure Container Instances

AZ-300T06-A: Developing for the Cloud

Module 1: Developing Long-Running Tasks and Distributed Transactions

• Implementing large-scale, parallel, and high-performance apps using batches
• HPC using Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
• Implementing resilient apps by using queues

As well as, implementing code to address application events by using webhooks. Implementing a webhook gives an external resource a URL for an application. The external resource then issues an HTTP request to that URL whenever a change is made that requires the application to take an action.

Module 2: Configuring a Message-Based Integration Architecture
