Course Description

The AZ-301 / AZ-304 Microsoft Azure Architect Design course by Digitalearn Solution is designed for IT professionals who want to build expertise in designing secure, scalable, and reliable cloud solutions using Microsoft Azure. This course focuses on architectural best practices, real-world design scenarios, and Microsoft-recommended frameworks required for Azure Solutions Architects.

In this course, learners will gain a deep understanding of Azure architecture design principles, including identity management, governance, networking, storage, compute, security, and business continuity. The curriculum aligns with Microsoft’s Azure Architect Design objectives and prepares learners to confidently design enterprise-grade cloud solutions.

The training begins with core architectural concepts such as Azure subscriptions, management groups, resource organization, and governance using Azure Policy and role-based access control (RBAC). Students learn how to design identity solutions using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory), hybrid identity models, authentication, authorization, and secure access strategies.

Networking design is a major focus area, covering virtual networks, subnets, network security groups, Azure Firewall, VPN gateways, ExpressRoute, load balancing, and traffic management. Learners will understand how to design highly available and secure network architectures for cloud and hybrid environments.

The course also covers data storage design, including Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and data redundancy options. Students learn to choose the right storage solution based on performance, scalability, availability, and cost requirements.

Security is integrated throughout the course. Learners will design security solutions using Azure Security Center, Microsoft Defender, encryption, key management with Azure Key Vault, and compliance controls. The course emphasizes designing solutions that follow Zero Trust and industry best practices.

Business continuity and disaster recovery design is another key component. Students will learn to architect solutions using availability zones, availability sets, Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, and monitoring with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics to ensure high availability and resilience.

Cost management and optimization are also addressed. Learners will understand how to design cost-effective architectures using Azure Cost Management, budgeting, and right-sizing strategies while meeting performance and business requirements.

This course is ideal for cloud architects, system administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals involved in designing or planning Azure cloud solutions. By the end of the training, learners will be able to design end-to-end Azure architectures that meet security, performance, scalability, and compliance needs, and be well prepared for Azure Architect Design certification paths.
