About Azure Serverless Functions Exam
Azure Serverless Functions is a way to run small pieces of code in the cloud without worrying about managing servers. These functions are event-driven, meaning they only run when needed and help automate tasks, process data, and connect different systems. With Azure Functions, you can build powerful applications that scale automatically and only pay for the actual time your code runs. This course will teach you how to create, manage, and integrate Azure Functions with various services like databases, message queues, and cloud automation tools.
Skills Required
- Basic knowledge of how to use the command line (Windows CMD or Unix Shell).
- Some experience with Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is helpful but not required.
- No deep coding or cloud computing knowledge is necessary—this course starts from the basics.
Knowledge Area
- Cloud computing and serverless concepts.
- Azure Functions and how they work.
- Event-driven programming and automation.
- Connecting Azure Functions with databases, message queues, and storage.
- Monitoring and managing Azure Functions.
- Using GitHub Actions for version control.
Who should take This Course?
This course is perfect for:
- Cloud consultants who want to automate cloud services.
- Azure administrators (IAAS & PAAS) who manage cloud infrastructure.
- Software developers who want to learn serverless computing.
- Anyone interested in using Azure Functions for automation and integration.
If you’re familiar with basic coding and the command line, this course will be easier to follow.
