Course Overview

The Microsoft course Microservices with .NET and ASP.NET Core is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and solution architects seeking to build scalable, resilient cloud-native applications using modern .NET technologies. While no current Microsoft certification exam is exclusively dedicated to microservices, this course aligns closely with skills assessed in the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204) credential, particularly in developing RESTful services, implementing application resilience, and deploying to containerized environments. With .NET developers ranking among Randstad USA’s top 15 most in-demand jobs for 2024, professionals mastering microservices architecture are highly sought after by enterprises adopting cloud-first strategies.

This course covers core technologies including .NET 8, ASP.NET Core, Docker, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Registry, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation. Through hands-on labs in the Azure Portal and GitHub Codespaces, students build and deploy a complete .NET microservice, configure Docker Compose for local orchestration, implement feature flags for dynamic behavior control, and set up automated pipelines to push container images to AKS. A key project involves enhancing a cloud-native application with resiliency patterns such as retry logic and circuit breakers, then deploying it via GitHub Actions to simulate real-world DevOps workflows used by engineering teams managing distributed systems.

By completing the Microservices with .NET and ASP.NET Core training, learners gain practical expertise that supports preparation for industry-recognized credentials like the Azure Developer Associate certification, widely acknowledged across enterprise cloud environments. According to H-1B salary data from 2024, .NET developers command median salaries of $99,000, with top earners surpassing $150,000—especially those skilled in containerization and microservices. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Microsoft courseware, and access to expert instructors for personalized guidance. Graduates are positioned to advance into senior developer or cloud architect roles, driving innovation in organizations leveraging .NET for scalable, future-ready applications.
