Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines Course in Doha, Qatar

The Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines course in Doha, Qatar is a focused, hands-on program on running infrastructure as a service in Azure. Learners plan VM sizes and series, choose managed disk types, and deploy Windows Server and Linux machines through the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell and Bicep templates. The course covers availability sets, availability zones, Virtual Machine Scale Sets, VM extensions, Azure Bastion for secure access, and patching with Azure Update Manager, giving administrators a complete view of the VM lifecycle.

Each topic is practiced in labs. Participants build a VM with custom data, attach and resize disks, capture an image into Azure Compute Gallery, configure autoscale, enable Azure Backup and diagnose a VM that will not boot using boot diagnostics and the serial console. Cost controls such as reserved instances, Azure Hybrid Benefit and auto-shutdown are discussed alongside performance. Organizations can schedule the course as an in-house program aligned to their own server builds and operating standards.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Select VM series, sizes and managed disk types to match workload performance and cost

• Deploy Windows and Linux VMs using the portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell and Bicep

• Configure availability sets, availability zones and Virtual Machine Scale Sets with autoscale

• Secure VM access with Azure Bastion, just-in-time access, network security groups and disk encryption

• Manage images, extensions and patching with Azure Compute Gallery and Azure Update Manager

• Back up, monitor and troubleshoot VMs using Azure Backup, Azure Monitor and boot diagnostics
