    • Discover how Azure Migrate can assess your existing workloads and plan your migration to Azure.
    • Discover how Azure Migrate and Azure Database Migration Service can migrate your systems to Azure.
  • Module 2: Provide disaster recovery for your on-premises infrastructure by managing and orchestrating replication, failover, and failback of VMware virtual machines, Hyper-V virtual machines, and physical servers with Azure Site Recovery.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Identify the features and protection capabilities Azure Site Recovery provides to on-premises infrastructure
    • Identify the requirements for enabling protection of on-premises infrastructure
  • Module 3: Protect your applications and data from disasters with a well-designed site recovery solution.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Define the site recovery requirements for your applications
    • Select the proper solutions to provide site recovery for your applications
  • Module 4: Provide disaster recovery for your Azure infrastructure by managing and orchestrating replication, failover, and failback of Azure virtual machines with Azure Site Recovery.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Protect Azure virtual machines with Azure Site Recovery
    • Run a disaster recovery drill to validate protection
    • Failover and failback your virtual machines
  • Module 5: Use Azure Backup to help protect the data for on-premises servers, virtual machines, virtualized workloads, SQL Server, Azure Files, and more.
  • In this module, you'll:

    • Identify the scenarios for which Azure Backup provides backup and restore capabilities
    • Back up and restore an Azure virtual machine
  • Module 6: Protect the data in your Azure SQL database and recover from data loss or corruption with backup and restore.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Configure backup and retention of an Azure SQL database
    • Restore an Azure SQL database
  • Module 7: Enable your application to automatically adjust to changes in load while minimizing costs with virtual machine scale sets.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Identify the features and capabilities of virtual machine scale sets.
    • Identify the use cases for running applications on virtual machine scale sets.
    • Deploy an application on a virtual machine scale set.
  • Module 8: Respond to periods of high activity by incrementally adding resources, and then removing these resources when activity drops, to reduce costs.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Identify scenarios for which autoscaling is an appropriate solution
    • Create autoscaling rules for a web app
    • Monitor the effects of autoscaling
  • Module 9: Learn how to respond to periods of increased activity by incrementally increasing the resources available and then freeing these resources when activity drops.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Scale a web app in and out manually.
    • Scale a web app up and down.
  • Module 10: Build an application that spans multiple geographic locations for high availability and resiliency.
  • In this module, you will:
