Curriculum

Determine Workload Requirements

Determine Feasibility and Refine Requirements - Recommend changes during project execution (ongoing); create proof of concept (PoC); determine whether a pilot is needed; evaluate products and services to align with solution; create testing scenarios; refine user stories

Optimise Consumption Strategy - Optimise app service, compute, identity, network, and storage costs

Design for Identity and Security

Design Authorisation - Choose an authorisation approach; define access permissions and privileges; design secure delegated access (e.g., oAuth, OpenID, etc.); recommend when and how to use API Keys
