Cloud-Based Integration Using Azure App Service Course Outline
(5 days)
Course Description
Attendees of this course will learn how to build cloud-hosted integration solutions that utilize the power of Microsoft Azure. The Azure cloud platform offers a vast variety of diverse services to help enterprises build powerful solutions.
In this course, students learn how to create enterprise-grade integration solutions using Logic Apps, API Apps, the Enterprise Integration Pack, and Azure Service Bus. At the core of the course is Logic Apps and how to use this cutting-edge technology to build integration workflows.
However, Logic Apps primarily provide process orchestration and API integration. In order to build well-rounded enterprise integrations, you may desire publish-subscribe capabilities, hybrid connectivity, and VETER pipelines. As a result, you will see how to interact with other Azure services such as Azure Service Bus, as well as on-premises systems
like SQL Server, and how you can add to the out-of-the-box tools in Logic Apps with the Enterprise Integration Pack.
This 5-day course offers the full picture for developers who need to build integration solutions using the Azure platform, and gives students about 20 hours of hands-on lab time in which they will build several integration solutions.
In this course, attendees will receive live instruction from one of our expert trainers, in-classroom demonstrations, challenging hands-on labs, and an electronic copy of the presentation materials and lab guide with hands-on activities.
Participants in this course will need an Azure subscription, or the ability to create a free trial subscription.
Course Objectives
At the completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
Manage the Application Lifecycle using Azure Resource Groups
Create Azure resources using the Azure Resource Manager and Azure Portal
Connect to on-premises systems using the on-premises data gateway
Create schemas for Azure API Apps
Build maps for the BizTalk Transform Service API App
Manage Enterprise Integration Pack assets using an Integration Account
Interact with Azure Service Bus topics, subscriptions, and queues manually and programmatically
Build complex workflows using Logic Apps to perform forking, merging, loops, parallel execution, and exception handling
Build custom API Apps including triggers and actions
Included is a full day workshop where attendees will build a complete end-to-end integration using Logic Apps, API Apps, and Azure Service Bus
