Configuring Serverless Computing in Microsoft Azure
Serverless is reshaping cloud economics—skip the infrastructure overhead and ship faster. This course cuts straight to configuring Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and event-driven patterns you’ll use immediately. You’ll move from theory to deployable solutions in just over 2 hours.
AIU.ac Verdict: Ideal for cloud engineers and DevOps professionals stepping into serverless or deepening Azure expertise. The hands-on labs cement practical skills quickly. Note: assumes foundational Azure knowledge; pure beginners may need an Azure fundamentals primer first.
What This Course Covers
You’ll configure Azure Functions from scratch—triggers, bindings, and scaling behaviour—then move into Logic Apps for workflow automation and event-driven architecture patterns. The course covers cold starts, cost optimisation, and real-world deployment scenarios. Expect practical labs where you’ll build and test serverless solutions in live Azure sandboxes.
Sahil Malik walks you through integration patterns, monitoring, and debugging serverless applications. You’ll learn when to choose Functions over containers, how to structure code for scale, and how to avoid common pitfalls. By the end, you’re configuring production-ready serverless workloads, not just understanding the concept.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- Cloud Engineers: Transitioning to serverless or expanding Azure expertise. You’ll gain hands-on configuration skills directly applicable to your next project.
- DevOps & Platform Engineers: Building CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure. Serverless patterns reduce operational burden; this course shows you how to architect for it.
- Solutions Architects: Evaluating serverless for client workloads. You’ll understand Azure’s serverless stack deeply enough to make confident recommendations.
May not suit:
- Azure Beginners: This assumes you’re comfortable with Azure fundamentals (subscriptions, resource groups, basic networking). Start with Azure 101 first.
- Non-Microsoft Cloud Specialists: If you’re AWS-only or GCP-focused, the Azure-specific tooling and UI will require extra ramp-up time; consider your strategic priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Configuring Serverless Computing in Microsoft Azure take?
2 hours 3 minutes of video content. Most learners complete it in one focused session or split across two. Hands-on labs add 30–60 minutes depending on your pace.
Do I need Azure experience before starting?
Yes. You should be comfortable with Azure subscriptions, resource groups, and basic portal navigation. If you’re new to Azure, complete an Azure fundamentals course first.
Are there hands-on labs?
Yes. Pluralsight includes sandboxed Azure environments where you configure Functions and Logic Apps live. You’ll deploy and test real serverless solutions.
