Course Overview
The Microsoft Azure Automation course is designed for IT professionals seeking to streamline cloud and hybrid operations through automation, specifically preparing learners for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate certification (AZ-104), which validates skills in managing Azure resources at scale. This training serves roles such as Cloud Administrators, DevOps Engineers, and System Administrators responsible for reducing manual overhead in enterprise environments. With over 78,000 AZ-104-related job openings in the U.S. as of 2026, organizations increasingly demand automation expertise to maintain compliance, reduce errors, and improve operational efficiency across complex infrastructures.
Students engage with core Azure services including Azure Automation Accounts, Runbooks, Desired State Configuration (DSC), Hybrid Runbook Workers, Azure Monitor, and Logic Apps within the Azure Portal lab environment. The hands-on curriculum emphasizes building automated workflows using PowerShell, Python, and graphical runbooks to manage resource lifecycles, apply configuration drift remediation, and respond to alerts. A key project involves creating a scheduled runbook that automates nightly shutdown of non-production virtual machines, integrates with Change Tracking and Inventory, and reports execution status via email using SendGrid integration, simulating real-world cost-optimization scenarios in enterprise cloud operations.
This course prepares candidates for the AZ-104 exam, an industry-recognized credential linked to average salaries between $100,000 and $135,000 in the United States, with higher compensation for roles involving automation design. Koenig Solutions enhances readiness through Guaranteed-to-Run batches and official Microsoft courseware, ensuring access to up-to-date labs and expert instruction. Upon completion, professionals are equipped to advance into senior cloud engineering or DevOps roles, where they can architect scalable automation solutions that drive digital transformation and operational excellence in modern IT environments.
