Course Overview
The Microsoft Linux OSS course is designed to equip IT professionals with the skills needed to deploy, manage, and secure open-source software solutions on Microsoft Azure, specifically focusing on Linux-based workloads. This training prepares learners for the AZ-1007: Deploy and Administer Linux Virtual Machines on Azure applied skill assessment, aligning with real-world administrative responsibilities. It serves roles such as Cloud Administrator, Linux Systems Engineer, and DevOps Engineer, who are increasingly in demand as 95% of enterprise cloud infrastructure now runs on Linux, according to Microsoft’s 2023 cloud adoption report. The course is ideal for professionals managing hybrid environments where Azure-hosted Linux VMs integrate with existing on-premises systems.
Students engage with key Microsoft technologies including Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Monitor, Azure Backup, Azure Files, Azure CLI, and Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). The hands-on lab component is conducted within the Azure Portal and Azure Cloud Shell environment, where learners build and configure secure Linux virtual machines, set up monitoring with Azure Monitor, implement backup strategies using Azure Backup, and manage storage via Azure Files. A core project involves a guided deployment scenario in which students provision a production-grade Linux VM, apply security baselines, configure automated backups, and monitor performance metrics—mirroring actual cloud operations tasks performed by Azure administrators.
This course directly prepares candidates for the AZ-1007 applied skill credential, recognized by employers as validation of practical Linux administration expertise on Azure.
