Course Overview

The Microsoft course Architecting Cloud-Native .NET Apps for Azure is designed for developers, solution architects, and technical leads responsible for building scalable, resilient applications on Azure. While not tied directly to a single certification exam, this training supports preparation for Azure Developer (AZ-204) and Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) certifications by focusing on cloud-native design principles. Ideal for professionals transitioning from monolithic to microservices-based architectures, the course addresses a growing industry demand—over 70% of enterprises now run containerized workloads in production, with Azure as a leading platform. Attendees gain practical knowledge in modernizing .NET applications to meet current cloud engineering standards and support DevOps practices essential in agile environments.

Students engage with core Azure services including Azure Container Apps, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Registry, Azure Monitor, and Azure Functions, using the official Azure Portal for hands-on labs. The course includes a guided project where learners refactor a legacy .NET monolith into containerized microservices using Docker and deploy them via the Aspire CLI to Azure Container Apps. Labs emphasize Infrastructure as Code using Azure CLI and ARM templates, service communication with gRPC, and observability through centralized logging. Participants build and secure a containerized environment, configure autoscaling, and integrate AI capabilities, simulating real-world scenarios faced by cloud development teams modernizing enterprise applications.

Completing Architecting Cloud-Native .NET Apps for Azure prepares learners for Microsoft’s role-based certifications and enhances career prospects in high-demand areas like cloud architecture and DevOps. Cloud architects with Azure expertise earn median salaries exceeding $130,000 annually, reflecting strong market demand. Koenig Solutions supports this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Microsoft courseware, and access to expert instructors for 1-on-1 doubt resolution.
