Course Overview

The Microsoft course Building Microservices with .NET is designed to equip developers with the skills to design, build, and deploy scalable, cloud-native applications using the .NET platform. This course prepares learners for Exam AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure, a key step toward earning the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification. It is ideal for .NET developers, cloud application developers, and backend engineers transitioning to microservices architectures. With over 12,000 Azure Developer roles actively posted across the US, Canada, and UK in 2026, demand for certified professionals is strong, particularly in enterprise sectors like finance and healthcare that are migrating to cloud-native systems.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with core Microsoft and cloud technologies including .NET 8, ASP.NET Core, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Registry, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The course includes practical lab work conducted in the Azure Portal, where students build, containerize, and deploy a full .NET microservice using Docker and orchestrate it with Kubernetes. A key project involves implementing resiliency features such as retry policies and circuit breakers in a cloud-native .NET microservice, then automating its deployment to AKS using CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines, simulating real-world DevOps workflows.

This training directly supports career advancement by preparing candidates for the widely recognized Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate credential, which is aligned with industry demand for cloud-native development skills. Certified professionals report an average salary of $121,000–$124,000 in North America, with senior roles reaching $150,000 or more. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and 1-on-1 instructor-led training using official Microsoft courseware, ensuring personalized guidance. Upon completion, developers are positioned to lead microservices initiatives in enterprise environments, driving digital transformation and advancing into senior cloud engineering or architecture roles.
