In this session, Senior Technical Trainer Alexandra Zakharova walks you through Azure management and governance fundamentals. You’ll explore how to manage cloud costs with tools like the Azure Pricing Calculator, Azure Cost Management, Cost Analysis, and resource tags—so you can estimate, monitor, and optimize your Azure spend more effectively.
You’ll then dive into governance and compliance with Microsoft Purview, Azure Policy, and resource locks, and learn how the Service Trust Portal provides visibility into Microsoft’s security and compliance posture. Alexandra also introduces core deployment and management tools—including the Azure portal, Azure Cloud Shell, PowerShell, Azure CLI, Azure Resource Manager, Bicep, and Azure Arc—to help you manage resources across Azure, on-premises, and multi-cloud environments.
Finally, you’ll see how monitoring and optimization services like Azure Advisor, Azure Service Health, and Azure Monitor work together to keep your Azure environment secure, reliable, and performant.
