Microsoft Azure Database Administrator Full Course | Microsoft Azure AZ-104 Course | Simplilearn

Hey everyone, welcome to this Microsoft Azure administrator course by simply learn. If you want to build a career in cloud administration, infrastructure management or DevOps, then Azure administration is one of the most important skills you need to master. But don't worry, in this course, we'll break Azure down in simple and practical ways so you can clearly understand how to manage cloud resources, secure services, and monitor infrastructure effectively. We'll begin by understanding the fundamentals of Azure including subscription resources, groups, regions, and availability zones. These are the core building blocks that form the foundation of Azure administration. From there, we'll explore the core Azure services such as virtual machines, storage accounts, networking, and app services. You'll understand how these services work together to build and manage enterprise application in the cloud. As we move ahead, we'll dive deeper into Azure virtual machines where you will learn how to create VMs, choose the right VM sizes, understand pricing, scale resources, and manage the full VM cycle including start, stop, restart, and resize operation. We'll also cover disk management concepts such as OS disk, data disk, and also managed disks, which are critical for storage planning and performance optimization. Next, we'll be exploring Azure storage services, especially blob storage where you'll understand containers, blob type storage, redundancy options like LRS, GRS and ZRS and how to securely manage data in the cloud. As we progress further, we'll cover advanced storage topics such as the life cycle management, tiering strategies like hot, cool, and archive and important security concepts such as shared access signatures, access keys, and encryption. Finally, we'll look into Azure monitor performance metrics, alerts, load balancing, backup, and recovery strategies to help you monitor and maintain healthy Azure environments. So, by the end of this course, Azure administration will no longer feel complex. You'll have a strong practical foundation in compute, storage, networking, and identity management.

Which Azure feature is used to securely to grant limited access storage without sharing the account key? Is it NSG, SAS token, resource group or is it Azure monitor? Drop your answers in the comment section below and let's get started. Now why Azure boom in last four and five years? So if all these are the benefit, please listen my question very carefully. When these are the benefit of Azure, it's not new. It's not new, right? Then why customer not opted for Azure or any cloud platform for so long time because the cloud already present in this whole space for last 23 years. These all are the benefit which you all listed. So why customer resist? Why customer now start boarding on the cloud platform nowadays in last four to five years? What is changed all around? What is the trigger point of why Azure boom in last four and five years? security but security was there for a long time right Kaitri but rau a storage capacity was there for a last 20 years no it's nothing new cost benefit is also there for a last I can I think that 20 years yes that's all I that's what I am saying that these are the benefit is not New you all agree these are not a new benefit. It was there for a quite two decad uh before this benefit is still available. So why customer not going for an Azure that is my what my question. So when you have a fast internet availability, it powered a smart devices like phone, tablet. So when these fast internet provide or you can say boost a smart devices people like you and me what our behavior change our behavior change is that by sitting at our home we like to avail the service just like that today I and you both are connected on a Zoom platform. Can you do it 10 years back? It is almost impossible. Almost impossible. So when customer behavior change it impact the companies. So let me give you a context. Now before that a business depend on business depend on or you can say h use app. So even 10 years back if you go to bank if you go to bank you have to stand in a queue then at the counter they ask a certain question from you and they fill the some detail. So 10 years back, 20 years back, they still use application. Business is still use application and your application depend on infrastructure. So where application is running on infrastructure and what is the best part of this approach? If application is down remember 10 years back if application is down still business function. So remember that even if the application is down still you can do certain task certain task right what is happening now it's a app who drive the business it's a app who drive the business let me have give you a very simple uh analogy behind if Uber app what you can say that a general manager a CEO can do if Uber app is down can they do anything Nothing. So remember my friend today era right now where we are sitting we called it as an appdriven world. So how this changing scenario trigger the adoption of Microsoft Azure or cloud platform because that is interesting that is happening at a business and consumer side what to do with what is the relationship of the appdriven business scenario anything to do with Microsoft Azure now let's go deeper drive. Now we are trying to understand how number one internet power a smart device. How a smart device power a business now. So it's a appdriven business nowadays. How appdriven business is actually trigger aure adoption. I give you a sensitive information now. So for an example if you have to use Uber or Amazon and what you provide what you provide when you register whether you notice or not you provide your whole personal detail. You provide your name. You provided your date of birth. You provide your address. You provide your national ID card. You provide your credit card. Do not you think this is a very very personal information? Yes. Now remember when I as a company let's say for an example I am I am a company who is based in India I simply rename simply learnfr who am I India based where I want to work in France which is a totally different country. So today India and France is a very good friend. Tomorrow for XY Z reason that friendship is not good. Now in Indian company simply learn have lot of data about the French citizen in the in the changing scenario. Is it possible that we can use this data to target to disrupt something to the people who already give all their information with me? Yes or no? I can or I cannot because there every information is India now in India that is very very important to all you to understand now. So France said that okay dear simply learn if you want to do a business with me 10 years back you have to only obtain a business license 10 years back but now because you are doing appdriven business and your app capture lot of data please remember your app capture lot of data which you do not know. For example, your IP address, for example, your device name, for example, your location. Are you aware that your app is capturing all this data as well? So France is saying that hey dear Indian company you are welcome to do a business in France but now you have to store data in France only. You cannot store this data to India data center. So what they say now data recedency if you do not heard this term please now heard it's called data residency law for example GDPR in Europe simply learn say that okay so it means that if I have to do a business in France ance I have to first obtain a business license then I have to also have a data center. Please remember this is a very very important part which help you to understand how Microsoft as your trigger. So one data center I already have in uh India which I spend billion dollar to get that data center. So when we say a data center it means that it's a real estate you have to occupy a space and you know that in the real estate price nowadays is just a skyrocketing you have to hire multiple people from guard to the engineers to the managers you have to you have to purchase thousand of servers network devices and then you have to do a compliances like ISO compliance and so on. So your investment in setting up a single data center can be $1 billion. So I'm just saying that similar now say that hey I have to spend $1 billion before even we start the business I have to invest $1 billion. You are a businessman. Let me ask a question to you. Can you take a risk in this geopolitical scenario that you will invest $1 billion to somewhere and tomorrow for XY Z region if business doesn't fly give you the data center on rent how much you have to pay nothing zero nothing okay so in this data center you host your service host your uh uh you can say data how much you use you just have to pay If you do not use, you do not have to pay. Which option will you go? Go with uh build your own data center or you are like to you know become my guest. Correct. Few years back there is a big fight happened between Instagram, Twitter and government of India. Yes. Because now the every government is start demanding if you are a foreign entity you are welcome but you have to now store all the data here. Is that clear? Now why you as a customer I as a customer I have no choice. If I have to go global I have to host my data into the territory where I supposed to do the business. And this is how Microsoft Azure or any cloud platform boom. So what exactly the Microsoft platform is? What is the Microsoft platform is? Remember any cloud platform? Exactly. Uh that is a different question Patan. So I'm just talking about why cloud infrastructure is booming. Now when I say Azure, I meant to say cloud. uh it can be AWS also. Okay. Now let's understand the global infra of a cloud. What does it means? And that is very interesting to know. Every cloud provider they divide the whole world into manageable geography and that is very interesting to know. For example, we have a geography called US. We have a geography called APAC. Europe. We have a geography called Middle East. and so on Africa. What is the meaning of geography? Remember when we say that we are in apac regime. Now you go to any country in Nepat any country number one you find certain similarity in terms of some kind of a cultural you can say that culturally somewhere we are similar. Second, within that particular geography, usually one country will have some kind of a agreement with another country. Like in Apac region, you have SARKC. Have you heard this name before? Like an Europe, you have a European Union, correct? Yes. So these are the political alliances. What we call political alliances. What does it means by Yes. Yes. Yes. Perfect. So what I mean by political analysis is is when let's say I am India and because of the sark political alliances I have a agreement with uh for example Sri Lanka I have agreement with some other countries okay so this agreement means as a government of one country, I am trusting the government of another country. So your cloud provider actually tap this political alliances. They understand that one country trust another country. How does it help? So in the US region they set up their data center in East US for an example. in west US and let's say in a central US same day in APAC they set up the data center in India they set up the data center in Singapore before they set up the data center in Japan but there is no data center in Sri Lanka. There is no data center in South US. So remember when we say a data center these data center are usually called tire four data center. Let me ask a simple question to all of you. Azure, AWS, Google, you take any big name, all their data center are in Mumbai, Chennoi and somewhat in Hyderabad. But why there is no data center in Delhi, Gura and Anoida in India? Any guess why there is no data center in Delhi Gura earthquake prone area that is a very very important part that is a very very important part. So remember you cannot build a data center for a cloud in earthquake bone area that is a very very important part. Okay. Yes. Second very very important part is these data center are actually connected globally globally but if you see the globe 70% is water so it means that the internet fiber line is run through the water line so it means that each data center yes should be near coastal area and third that is of course that is uh you can say in a generic ubility the uh stability of the country correct uh the taxes how the uh taxes is there what is the compliance requirement of the country and so on so so there are a huge long checklist list why why a data center cannot be set up in certain region. So maybe south US is a landlock area. Maybe in the south region is earthquake prone area. We do not know. Same way if you look at that there is no data center in Sri Lanka. Possibly estability might be one of the factor and it can be any other reason as such. your service provider like Microsoft, like any other they set up the geography, geography. They have a reason. And then they have a data center. Now I am a customer. Just just take this word. I'm a customer. I host my data center in India and this data center is in Andheri, Mumbai. If you are outside India, Anheri is just like one of the downtown any big city and I host my let's say a database for an example let's say for example SQL server in this Anderi Mumbai. I also have my which can be a VM running in this Anderi Mumbai and I am a e-commerce giant in India Flipkart it's a peak season millions of user login on my on my flipcard.com Suddenly Andhi Mumbai data center is for any XY Z reason. Fire broke out, hardware failure or it might be flooded or might be the municipal corporation of Mumbai dig the road and cut the fiber is down. Millions of users suddenly say Flipkart is offline. Anyone who is not from India, Flipkart is just like an Amazon. It's a local uh you can say e-commerce platform. So Flipkart will go to Microsoft. Hey Microsoft, I trust you. I put all my service in your data center. Now you are giving me a lame excuse because of XY Z reason your data center is down. So what can I do? My business is lost. My reputation is lost. Is that good or bad? Very bad. Microsoft said that All right. All right. All right. do not worry I understand business is critical for you. So in the same reason in a Mumbai itself I have now three data center please remember it is just for your understanding one is in andhi Mumbai one is in let's say a BKC band kurala complex and second is let's say for example any other reason in where let's say XY Z all let's say PI pi Mumbai okay all right so please remember one more time so it means that in the same reason in the same reason Mumbai Microsoft has built more than one data center and these data center are connected with each other with the very fast fiber network very fast fiber network with the you can say that it's a very minimal latency so Microsoft give an offer now they say that hey customer if business is so important for you you create replic replica of your database from more than one data center. Of course, you have to pay price three times. But in this way you get something which is called high aability and what we called availability. zone. So what you have geography, reason, availability zone and the data center. Data center. Okay. Do you know AWS? Anyone of you know in this batch AWS AWS what is that? It's a cloud service provider. Okay, hold on. So AWS will have a geography. AWS will have a reason. AWS availability zone. AWSI data center. Anyone know Google? What is Google? It's a cloud platform. Okay. So, Google have a geography. Google have a region. Google have ability zone. Google have a data center. Anyone know for an example BMS cloud? Bami Bami cloud anyone heard or seep cloud no I don't care what is Bami oh it's a cloud platform okay then bamsy have uh geography bombs have reason bombs have ability zone bombs have a data center. Is that clear now? Is that clear? Any cloud? Any cloud exactly the same? Pankage. Yes sir. I am working on AWS. Okay. So, can I get the similar architecture there? Whatever we see similar architecture, yes, you will get it. Yes. So if I ask Google can he give me everyone go back to Google please and just type here Azure speed test and you get this option azure speed test.com okay and then you type AWS speed test and just look at that and just tell me are you see any difference Correct. Panka, you see everything right? Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific. Correct. Now, correct. Correct. You see that uh uh Europe, you will see Europe here also. So, I have to say no difference. It's exactly same. Correct. And if you look at that on the left hand side you have as your reason and here also you have a reason Here you see you have availability zone. Here also you see availability zone. Is that clear to my dear friend everyone? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it means it means pankage if tomorrow if I ask you hey pankage can you explain me a cloud XY Z you do not have to go in detail the moment you understand it is a cloud platform just go through the same architecture. So by mistake if you learn AWS from me you will surprise that sir it is the same thing you teach me in 104 because the same architecture is there. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Very good. Nice. Yes. I hope that it's a it's a very very much clear now to all of you. Correct. So yes, yes. Very good. nice. This is just an introduction from me beginning. I hope that you understand that how the way we move forward. Now here I am drawing up the map for your learning and study. I start with week one, week two, week three, week four and week five. So week one we are going to talk mostly about a compute power that is a sava. Week two we are going to talk most about a storage service in Microsoft Azure week three which is for me it's a very important one. We're going to talk about an app service and a network service. app service and virtual network service. Week four, we are going to talk about HR and DR including your load balancer, your firewall and we also going to talk about the security especially the key vault concept. Week five we are going to going to understand about how you can manage whole Azure as an administrator other way around of uh portal like your CLI your infrastructure as a code monitoring. So I am just talking about the ARM and in the final one we talked about the monitoring of so let me to write it week one and today and tomorrow we talked about the VM in detail in depth we go with Microsoft stories both Saturday and Sunday it's a big topic we are going to understand about an app service and a network Here we talked about the high ability DR plus security. Here we talked about the infrastructure as a code like a bicep arm plus monitoring. Yeah. Is the plan clear? You can take a note. We're going to understand the first virtual machine. Before that let me give you one corporate scenario to understand why we need this service and as an administrator where your role come. So a customer want to host its uh website on Microsoft Azure. This website is developed in HTML, Java, React.NET, whatever you think this is. Now, this is one of the ask of a company. they want they have a website and then they want to host it in Now just to give you a context at this point of time in Microsoft Azure cloud platform we have a multiple service which where you can host your website. One is we call it as a server which is essentially a VM. You can hold it or store it in a a storage which is called a blob storage. You can host the website in a app service. And we also have a world where we talk about the container. You can host it it in a container as well. So someone who in the role of solution design we also called them as a solution architect they first understand this requirement and then they have lot of questionnaire to ask from the customer. So for an example in generic if I am a solution architect I ask a questions by looking at this scenario. Hey customer, does your website a static or dynamic? This is a very very important questions. The moment customer say that no my website is a dynamic website means it can keep changing let's say it's a dynamic so the moment I have a clarity that the type of website which customer is looking at is uh dynamic website a storage account gone because a storage can only host a static website to drill down further. I as a C solution architect I may ask another questions. Do you need to control backend like an operating system? Because in a certain scenario customer want to deploy its own antivirus. Customer want to do hardening of the service means disable lot of services from the windows. Customer want to control the patch management and so on. Some of the compliances require it like PCI compliance. So in that case customer said that yes I need backend control then the app service gone because app service do not let you control the backend OS managed by Microsoft. Maybe to do a further isolation as a solution architect. I may ask one more question. Does code base or container image base? So essentially what I am asking here do you have a code or your whole code is encapsulated as a you can say that DVD image. A customer give me an answer that it is a pure code base. I do not have anything called container image. My developer developed the code and it is now available to here the container service gone. So I mean to say someone at the top level they make this decision what exactly needed and how they do that by something which is called asking a questions a lot of ways. So when you if you if you are already in RO for 305 uh you probably understand this one when you are in that module but this is the same thing let's say for example once that uh uh requirement is clear means we are going to have an a virtual machine so a solution architect then do the second task it uh create a complete map in the sense okay I am going to create a VM which VM so they make decision. Now in Microsoft Azure we have something which is called as an S K U. You can think it like a pricing unit or in a very crude language we also call it as a family. For example, when you go to Domino, it give you three options. A small pizza, medium pizza, large pizza. And you have to select from them. So there are many families which is available. We will discuss it very shortly. But at this point of time, they decide which family. Second, they decide what should be the VM name. Third, they decide which operating system they have and in the operating system again there is a lot of things like a licensing and all come into the picture. Third, they decide which reason this VM should be run. So once the decision has been made they give you they again draft something it is called a execution flow in the execution flow they give you a a full uh you can say that diagrammatic view so for an example when I say this is a VM and let's say in this VM we install Windows operating system. So we have a Windows operating system in this VM and to run a website we need something called web server. So there are multiple web server available. Can anyone of you if you know the B server can you put a name there? I Yes. Very good. Yes. Yes. Anything else? Apache. Engineix. Very good. Love it. So you have for a Linux you have a Apache you have engineix in Microsoft usually we use something called internet information server and so on. Tomcat right Tomcmat. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Yeah. So top three is basically used in a Linux uh light speed also. Yes. Yes. Sometimes we use subum. because it's a windows so we prefer to use IIS. So in this we install a web server called IIS web server. That is what we are going to install inside that. Now once I get installed in this uh VM it will give me something which is called a virtual folder. Usually this virtual folder are located inside your default C drive with called inet pub and within the inet pub you will have a folder called www root. Inside that folder you put all your uh website code like you have an HTML, you have a Java, you have a Python, whatever you have, you can just put it inside that. So I put my HTML code inside here. So it means that first we have to create a VM. Inside the VM we need to install IAS. Inside the IAS we need to put my HTML, Java, Net, React any application. And then this VM will also have something which is called a public IP. This public IP can be mapped with the DNS like a go ID or this public IP can be directly accessed by the user because it's a public IP. So it is accessible from outside. So any user can hit this public IP and get the website or this public IP can be also uh match with map with DNS and people hit the DNS name like a Microsoft.com and then can get the website. This all decision where I am as an administrator I am nowhere. Till now we do not have any idea what is going on outside. So remember this is administration. Okay. Now this all has been drafted and then you as an administrator you come to know how. So there are many method available. Few company will give you information via email. You get a formal email. Hey dear administrator, this is what we have to do. This is what you have to create something, right? Yes. Uh one formal method. So if you are very new to microour administration, we call it as a ticketing tool. Correct. Very good. Like Sorav has already put few names. I also put that name for you. Better you can do a Google watch some video before going for an interview. Okay. like service now BMC remedy Jira Salesforce. Yes. Zera Salesforce. So anyone of you if you are very very new to this whole world this name can be yes people devops board also but that is more when you are in a devops as a simple administrator this is what the tool you can use okay that's what excellent now so let's say for example in in my If I have to get this job done, I will get something which is called a ticketing tool. So I will get a ticket and that using that ticket I will uh you know uh get the whole bunch of uh uh task to uh perform. So usually in the uh ticketing world someone who for whom this VM is created let's say this VM is supposed to create for my HR team. So any department like HR or you can say sales you can name it any who own the server. Uh basically they raise the ticket. Usually this ticket will come for department head for approval and from there it is come to the fin stream or you can say that your accounting team who actually create the budget how much you can spend to in this VM because mic Microsoft service is not free. It's a chargeable. So PHOPS team you can say provision budget and this is a very dangerous part because once you have the budget you have to be limit inside yourself budget then it will finally come to the IT team. So you have an IT team manager. Now IT team manager then choose you or choose me as an administrator who supposed to do this task. So then the ticket assigned to you. So I mean to say if you look at that this is a full flow how this ticket will done. I just give you a sample ticket for you to visualize how it might look like. It can be different in a actual world scenario. So for an example here I'm saying that I have a ticket number. Let's say it's related to Azure. So I have a Azure and let's say it's for HR team. So it might be an HR and then some number and probably here it's say that who has request by let's say HR manager or the name of the people and then the priority of the let's say it's a high means it need an immediate action and then prob probably inside that it will give okay you have to give a name VM name let's say my name is Bin so I'm saying that BPIN HR srv01 you should also have a like uh which OS so I'm saying that 2025 which is the latest one and then you probably have what is the size. So number one as per the SQU you use the any D series machine you have to give two CPU and 8 GB memory you cannot go beyond this is the limitation you have and then it also decide what the username you give so let's say HR admin and what the password you give let's say for example password at rate 1 2 3 I mean to say if you look at this whole ticket Now this is how it sample look like. So anyone who is first time entering into the world of Azure administration and preparing to crack the interview remember this one because generally interviewer know that people come from lot of training and they do not carry the experience. So someone asks can you create a VM you say yeah yeah yeah immediately I can create a VM and that is a time when you rejected you you do not understand I answer correctly why I get rejected because you try to demonstrate your knowledge and where the approach is absolutely different. So next time as an administrator if someone ask a question can you create a VM you say yes. How you create a VM in your company do not say that okay I go to the portal I do that first you say this is how I assign a ticket in the ticket it everything is mentioned and I follow the whatever is mentioned inside the ticket. So there is a two thing which you have to remember. Something which we call subscription. Subscription is like you can think like uh department like a sales HR and resource group is like a project within that department. So by default both are already fixed when you work in this tenant. So your subscription is always simply learn HOL which is called hands-on lab and some your some number and then in the resource group drop-down and you will get a default resource group which is called ODL on demand lab drop-down guy OD uh resource group resource group below oh it's I meant to say underscore uh HR perfect that's fine that's fine HR underscore or dash give a dash only dash VM01 it is called naming convention okay so for example when you work in HCL probably the VM name there like HCL - NOI means noa - sales - VM03 so this is How generally the naming convention people follow? Uh in our case we use our name then HR as a department and then VM as a 01. Okay. Now which reason? So this whole project we are going to execute in a west US2. Everyone please select West US2. West US2 in the availability option. In the availability option, select no availability or no infrastructure redundancy required. the first one because we only going to create a single VM in the security type drop-down and select a standard in the image drop-down and select Windows server the latest one which is 2025 Azure edition. Okay, no problem. Sassan, we are just proceed to create a VM. Okay, watch it out and then probably you can see the recording. Everyone able to see the size and what the size it is showing now. D series T series 2 CPU 8 GB memory. This is what is the ticket requirement. Correct? Are you able to see the size guy 3? Below is say a standard D2S more below uh when you drop down when you drop down you can see more hundred of sizes which is available to us correct we will talk about the size later on but at this point of time as per the ticket 2 CPU 8 GB memory that is perfect now yes go ahead and drop down below so in the username I usually put my username But in a ticket it is given HR admin right everyone remember. So just type HR admin and password at it 1 2 3 make the P capital P A S capital P A S W O R D at the rate 1 2 3. Same below. Confirm password. Password at the rate 1 2 3. You can give any password Gopal. Uh but usually this is what I follow. For example, you can type P A S W O R D. I delete 1 2 3. Most of the time in Microsoft it work. Yeah. Uh you do one thing you say conflict. I'm not sure what name you have given. So it's uh because this name is conflicted with some one else in the same tenant. Okay. So uh first you go to Microsoft Azure is see on the top on top blue bar and then before that there is a three dash dash click that select all resources. No no all resources again drop down all resources. Ah very good. Yes. Select everything and you have a delete button on the top. Okay. Right hand side top. Yeah, exactly. So whenever it fail, this is how you do apply and just type delete and hit delete again. Hide. Hide it. Hide it. Click hide. Delete. Okay. Go back to VM again while it is deleting. Yes. Click create now. Click create again. Create. Uh uh. You create virtual machine, right? Yeah. Very good. And resource group. Yes. Drop down ODL. Very good. Type the name. Just say R A R A - dash. Let's say uh you make sales sales uh hyphen VM 001. Okay, great. West US2. In availability zone drop-down, select none. In the security type drop-down, select standard. In the image drop-down, select Windows Server 2025. Yeah. So, let the VM size same and the username and password type HR admin or whatever you like. But you have to remember, okay, type HR admin. It admin is also okay. uh if you remember and password is password at 8 1 2 3 that is a standard password with Microsoft generally 2. Yes. Sort of just the VM creation RDP dropdown HTTP. Yeah. Next. Hope it will work. Okay. Microsoft has give this tool. It's called server manager tool. If you want you can make a note. Server manager tool is used by Windows administrator to install configure all the services like DNS, DCP, active directory, web server, file server, print server through the server manager itself. Okay. So now you have a server manager and you see that it's give you something which is called uh configure this local server correct everyone able to see bread and butter configure this local server correct so if you remember what is our objective is to provide customer a server inst installed with IIS correct web server so that uh they can run their website inside that right this is what our objective is all about so now uh click add ro and feature just see if it it work for you because it's still too slow it look like yeah everyone click add ro and feature add ro and feature and you get this wizard Okay. Hit next. Next. Uh G3. No worry. So if you uh hold on if you close it in the Windows, if you click the start button, can you click the start button? Na. G3. Just see. Click the start button on the server. Na. Click the start button on the server. a start button. Um on the server below below below below. Okay. Okay. Uh start button. Click a start button. No you have just before that there is a start button. You see just before the search there is a one button. H okay this one. Click. So click it here and you should able to see server manager guy. Just confirm quickly if you are able to see it. Yeah, click and then click that uh uh add ro and server. Okay, go back there. Go back to your wizard and then click next. Once it is installed then it will and it is in a server not in your local laptop. IA is the server, web server, others which have the engine which can compile your code which can be HTML, Java, Python and it will render it as an JavaScript for your browser. So you can think something like that. It is a mechanism through which you can run your website. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone able to see? Yeah. Got Gregory. Once you install IIS in the server C drive, you should get inet folder. Not on desktop. Not on desktop. In a C drive. in the server C drive. And how can you come to the server C drive? In the search bars of the server, look at that uh Ajar demonstrating type explorer. You will get file explorer. Okay. In the search bar of the server, uh no change is required. Manor, I'm just making a small change. Yeah. Okay. And then when you go there, come to the C drive. In the C drive, you should able to see inet pop folder. Ah, that's fine. That's fine. Inet folder. And then you should see www do root folder. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Click www root. And you should able to see two file. One is the HTML file and second is the PNG file. Right click the HTML file and say open with notepad. Control A delete everything whatever you have in this notepad and go back to your desktop or wherever you have saved my file. Copy the whole content and paste it back here. Save it. File. Save all. Yes. Come back to your Azure portal. Azure portal on my local desktop. Right. Uh uh 1 minute more. I'm coming back to you. No. Come back to Azure portal. On the local desktop, right? Ah yes as your portal where you have VM created. Copy the public IP one more time. Mhm. Paste in the browser. Remove this some word. Ahar VM. Yeah. Everyone copy the public IP. If you done paste in the browser in the browser enter to the site uh not required Edit you directly copy and paste that will that is fine only used to test the website. Ahar open your mobile phone. Everyone open your mobile phone. Everyone open your mobile phone. In the browser type the same IP and just confirm are you able to see the website. This all depend whether your is perfectly installed or not. Very good. Copy everything from here. Manar if you want to your name you have a hold www.simplearn.com change it to manohar company.com. Uh just copy it. Go back to your server where you taken remote. Paste it. file. Save it. Go back to your Azure portal. Copy public IP. Paste it in the browser. Same IP. You can open it in your mobile also. Okay. Yo, you are already I think that your audio have a problem and that's done for you. Thank you very much. Okay, I stop your sharing please. New inbound port rule. Ah, that's fine. That's fine. That's okay. Okay. Now let's quickly understand few of the core concept before we close on the session here. We talked the SKU and the family. Now for you as an administrator, for you as an administrator that is very important to understand that which SKU we have to select. SKU means a storage keeping unit. You can say that it is a licensing terminology. So when selecting a VM, one very important part is a purpose. very important part is your purpose. So why you are creating a VM? What type of service you are going to install? For example, I said that in my VM in my VM I am going to install SQL or Oracle means I am going to install a database. So let's say I'm going to install a SQL server. Let me ask a question to you. If you have to install uh SQL SQL uh okay so just give me one minute let me finish this then I come back to you Huh that's fine man that's fine but my question is in this VM Which component use more? CPU, memory, disk or a network? CPU to for a database which component in your server use most? network or a disk. Okay, please remember this is very very important and interesting point uh interesting point for you to understand. So when you say that you are you also have to understand you also have to understand the type of application which you are planning to use. So for an example when you say a database like a SQL, Oracle, MySQL, Postgress SQL, MySQL usually database is a store in a disk. You have a faster CPU, very faster memory, but your disk is too slow to read the data. You are running a command. Select a star from this table and it is reading, reading, reading. You have a faster CPU, faster memory. Will it work? No, it absolutely no. So you need a virtual machine which is a storage optimized. No matter you are going to create in Google, AWS, Azure, Bami cloud or ASOC cloud it doesn't matter. I simply say I need a storage optimized VM. So it means that when I am going to create a VM, I need to define what type of exactly I want a storage I want or VM. I want so Oh my god. Just give me one minute. I'll leave it as it is. I will just ask one of you to probably share your screen later on. Okay. Second, let's say in I am planning to install uh you can say that something which is image processing software like a AutoCAD. Now component in this VM utilize more? CPU, a storage or a network. It's a image processing software. Remember your image load in memory. memory. So in this server if your RAM is DDR2 and you are running it processor your image will not load. So you need memory optimized virtual machine. Let's say in this VM a backup software like net backup. This backup take the backup of all other virtual machine running in my cloud. Which component I need? which component I need which can give me remember backup means backup software means this server can take back up thousand of VM running across so which component you need faster network absolutely network because it is pulling the data through network. So you will see that I need to have a network a. So there are multiple series which is available in you can say in my Azure or all other cloud platform as well they have a different series name but every series dedicated to something else. For example in Azure we have something which is called as a B series machine. Now whenever you see a B series machine anywhere you understand that B this B series machine is the most cheap in costing cheap in costing but it is not used in production. So no production actually run the B series Now for a general workload like we are creating just a simple web server. It is running in production but it is not uh utilizing any specific uh component. We have a D series You just create D series machine if you remember and it is for general purpose and then and then you have E series machine E series machine which is memory optimized. So when we want to run AutoCAD we have to take E series machine. If I want a faster CPU we have a F series machine. that is a CPU optimized. Same way when we want a storage optimized we have a L- series machine. We have a L series machine. So I just quickly ask one of you to share back your screen as fast as possible. One of you just share back your screen. Yeah. Yeah, make your uh Azure full full. Now make full uh remove uh huh very good. Now go back and create a machine again. Do not create, just click the launch button. Yeah. Huh. Virtual machine. Create. Yes. Virtual machine. Select the resource group. Let's scroll down. Let's scroll down. Keep scrolling down. And you now scroll down. Scroll down. You now have see all sizes. Can you click the see all sizes? So are you able to see? Now we have a few series of machine which is available for you. Few are blocked by the company policy. That machine you cannot create. For example, you have the you see that D You have a general purpose machine, right? This is the type. And if you click the add a filter on the top dropdown. So here let's say for example I want to see the type. Click type drop down drop down to type this side. This side. Are you able to see compute optimized memory optimized storage optimized? Everyone able to see now? Correct? Is that clear? So it means that when you get the instruction which type of machine you are supposed to create, this is how you have to select it. Make sense? Make sense? Correct. So you have to select whether you like memory optimized machine, a storage optimized machine depend on your application work load. Correct? Yeah. Stop your sharing. Thank you. Yeah. So this is a day one dear friend and objective of a day one number one to make you understand why you are here. What exactly an Azure administrator role look like? What is this Azure platform? Why any company use Azure platform for that matter? how Microsoft organize itself in a geography, region, aability zone and a data center and to give you an idea about the very first service which virtual server. with that this is what we end now and I am calling going to call few of you at going to be a regular part of the whole session because understanding job role is a pretty important before you even take any kind of a course because then you prepared by yourself to be projected as an administrator. So we will take a look take a look how the day look like in following up sessions and yesterday we understand one very important part that as an administrator you work within a boundary. And when we say a boundary it means you cannot do what you want in Azure. If you work in a company you have restrictions you have certain procedure. So one of the way which we understand yesterday that you get instruction via email or in a more processor oriented companies you get instruction via ticketing tool. So few of the ticketing tool which I think that most of you listed is service now remedy zera salesforce and so on. So what is my recommendation to you? You pick any tool of your choice. If you never seen that tool, no worry. go through some of the free available videos on a YouTube just to get understanding so that when you face an interview and when you say that okay I actually work as an administrator and I get an instruction through the ticketing tool at least you have some visualization in your mind that how the ticket look like how it uh uh get assigned to you. So essentially in cloud world whatever you do is not do by yourself. Most of the time this type of requirement come from a business side like an HR department like a sales department like a top management they have certain requirement and that requirement is come through the whole channel. For example, a study we understand an HR department may have a requirement of a server where they want to deploy certain application like an HRMS. So what they do now HR department then use the ticketing tool create a ticket and that ticket first come to the department head because remember whatever you create in Microsoft Azure or any cloud platform for that matter it is chargeable. So department head must have to approve the cost and then when the department head approved the cost it will come to the finance team we call generally as a fin ops team who supposed to hey others good morning who supposed to validate whether this server cost can be budgeted. It's not like that in uh our own mind. Okay, I need to create a server so we can create in a companies every penny when they spend they have a budget. Okay, they have a budget come to finally the IT team anyone who is heading that IT team operation they then choose you. When we say you, you as an administrator. All right. This ticket is assigned to you. And this is how the sample ticket look like. Like it may have a ticket number. It may have a information who raised this ticket. It may have a information that this ticket should be treated at the high priority. And then the detail of the information like what the VM name, which operating system, what the size, what should be the username you put, what should be the password you put. So I mean to say everything is clearly illustrated and I as an administrator I only have to follow that instruction. You cannot go just deviation like that. At least in the initial phases when you became senior when you get that experience then probably you can take certain decision by your own but not at the beginning level. So this flow you have to remember when you are sitting in front of an uh interviewer and you are claiming yourself that you are an administrator. The second very very important part which we understand yesterday that why customer should use Azure and why Azure boom in last four to five years there are so many benefits of Azure if you look at that you this is what you all describe Azure has a cost benefit Azure has a scalability benefit Azure has uh Go global benefit. So many benefits we have. So I mean to say when you have Hey Nag good morning. So even if good morning sep if we have so many benefit then why customer I can say 10 years back not likely to use Azure? Why few customer only use Azure? So one of the reason is it's a business versus application. Good morning Gopal. So the changing scenario in today's world that it's a appdriven business. You see Uber it's a completely appdriven Netflix appdriven. Even the banks not uh you can say it's a appdriven the government look at if you are in India all the services of a government is available through an app so it's a appdriven business and if the app is down it may have a problem good morning Kunal it has a problem so when we say an app the problem with the app is if we want to use any of the app the app require to subscribe. If you want to use Amazon, if you want to use Uber, if you want to use Netflix, they said that first you subscribe. And what do I mean by subscribe? I put my name, my name, my date of birth. I put my national ID card. I use sometimes credit card, my address. This is very very personal to me. So this company where they store these informations. So usually they store this information in a data center. And where is this data center? Few years back that data center is only in one country. So if it is a Indian company, usually they have a data center in India. If it is a US company, they have a data center in US. So just imagine the scenario when an Indian company go to a France say that okay I want to do a business in in your country. France said that all right so you are going to use app I say of course yes and you are store information I say yes where will you store information of course in India because we are in Indian company they say no what will happen if tomorrow these two country are not in a good relationship my citizen data is in your control and you can use it you can misuse it. So that fear grow and that is the reason why almost every country in the world as small as you can say like uh any country in uh you can take about which is a very smaller in size they are now demanding that you have to now store the data in my country. So take the data center, build the data center and we call that is data residency law. India also have now data residency law. Before that we do not have but now we have a data residency law and this data residency law demand that if you want to do a business in my my country a store data here and to store data here build a data center. To build a data center, you have to invest billion dollars. You have to take a real estate. You have to secure the building. You have to hire a staff. You have to hire uh you have to purchase so many servers, network devices. Huge investment. And what will happen if tomorrow my business did not fly? We go for a toss. What will I do with that investment? So that trigger that trigger uh adoption of Azure. So what is Azure is a cloud platform just like an AWS just like in an Google. And what this cloud provider do? They divide the whole world into manageable geography like a US, APAC, Europe and Middle East and we understand yesterday Geography selection is very much depend on the political alliances the cultural similarities within that specific region. And within that geography they select certain reason like for an example in Apac it select India no Sri Lanka for an example no Malaysia for an example. selection of the region depend on lot many factors. We discussed some of the factor like the area should not be an earthquakerprone area. The area should be a coastal area. It should not be a landlock area and so on. And within the reason they select the cities like in India they select the cities like a Mumbai which is quite near to the coastal area. they select Chennai because it is quite close to the coastal area and within that they set up a data center. Now this data center host million customer services and what will happen for XY Z region if the data center is nonfunctional not not available it is down. So for that matter these cloud service provider create multiple data center within the same city and all these data center are connected with a very fast low latency fiber connectivity and as a customer now you have a choice. You can create a replica of your server in a multiple data center across the city. So that in case if one data center down, no worry, you still have an option to replicate your data to a second server, a second data center. And then in the last we understand about a different job role like a company require to host its website on Microsoft Azure. This is the requirement of a company. So first which role come back come to understand this requirement is a solution architect. Now solution architect come into the picture. They try to understand decode this customer requirement through a lot of questionnaire and on the basis of questioner your solution architect decide whether they go with VM storage app container and so on and after that they draw the diagram generally we call it as an HL diagram high level diagram in that diagram they select what type of SKU or size of the VM they select which virtual machine what should be the virtual machine name which operating system and a build type and which region and so on there's a lot of lot of factor they decide so yesterday we did this lab where we create a virtual machine with Windows operating system we installed IAS BIP server And in the is web server we get a folder inetpub www root and within that I can host all my java python.net whatever code simply we use html yesterday and using the web virtual machine public IP we get the full flow. This is what we done yesterday. I hope that you already have that clarity what all we discussed yesterday. It depend on your application. For example, I say that I have a AutoCAD application. Okay. Now, AutoCAD application is you can say that it's a console based application. It is a desktop based application. It cannot run anywhere. You cannot use app service. You cannot use a storage. You cannot use container. Only choice you have you need a server because it run on top of operating system. Let's say you want to create your own database. Correct? Oracle database. Now Oracle database you cannot run anywhere again you need a virtual machine. Yeah. So if your project has a requirement where you need an OSbased application we generally call it as an desktopbased application. We need a virtual machine. As simple as that. When you get a request to provision a virtual machine, you need to pick the right SKU or the size. For example, a B series machine which is cheap but it is only for a testing workload. any D series machine. This is just to handle a generic workload like we create a print server, active directory, uh web server. But when we need a machine which is require too much of memory like when we use a CAD software then we need E series machine. when we need an application which uh need a very high CPU uses like any scientific application which do a calculation or a processing in a background you need F-S series machine so I mean to say there are different series of machine we have but this is not the end now as in Microsoft Azure when you create a VM when you supposed to create a VM There are few things which you have to understand in the background. Look at that what happened in a Microsoft data center. So in a Microsoft data center basically they use in the background a same server like an IBM server, Dell server, HP server exactly same server. Now on each of the server Microsoft install their own virtualization software called hyperv. So if you go to any of the Microsoft data center by any chance you will surprised that it their setup is almost just like in my own company setup. Now in this hyperv they say that okay you want to create a VM. Now listen it very carefully that is a very very important part. So let's say I am one of the company called Infosys. I create a VM. So my VM will come and create on this hardware. This hardware I'm just taking example that let's say I am in forces VM. Now let's take a second company for an example. I am saying it's might be IBM or B pro they create a VM is also come and sit in the same hardware. What does it means? It means that using shared infrastructure. All right. So when I say I share a same infrastructure means this server in the background connected with a network. Let's say they are connected with a network same network. My traffic also go from this network. Your traffic also go from this network. Hardware is shared. Network is shared. So what the Microsoft say that now here if you your on a same hardware where other customer VM is also maybe sit or hosted. I will give you cost benefit. cost benefit in the sense because you are sharing the same hardware and the same network. So I am going to charge your VM just for an example $1 per hour $1 per hour. So you will see a very cheap VM because in $1 per hour you are running your workload. But few of the customer few of the who is he sir is infosys I don't know who is infosys what will happen through this VM if someone run some malicious tool and it able to penetrate and enter into my VM Is it possible? Microsoft said that I have taken all care of but still it can be possible.1% chance. They said I can't take I am FBI. I am raw. I am a bank. I cannot allow I cannot take even a 0.1% chance that someone able to penetrate your security and enter into my VM. So your cloud provider then say that okay no worry I am going to give you I am going to give you a separate hardware. This server is reserved for you and we call it as a dedicated host. We say that when you have a dedicated this VM in this server only your VM can create it. Only your VM can create it. No other customer VM will create it. How will you charge me then? I will not charge you a VM basis. I will simply charge you a hardware basis. So let's say this whole hardware is reserved for you. You create one VM, you create no VM, you create 10 VM. It's all up to you. I am going to charge this server cost CPU, memory and whatever you have. So it's a dedicated route. Few customer they do not go with shared hardware they go with dedicated hardware. But in this case still you have a problem because your network is still same. Your hardware is dedicated but when the traffic go out or in it go with the same hard or you can say same network switch. So few of the customer they are very adamant they said no I want everything is mine network is mine no other traffic should go through that network. Then the Microsoft said that all right in that case I am going to give you a third option which is called isolated. Now in case of isolated you get dedicated your own network. No other traffic will pass from here. It's only you. So three option. So shared infrastructure dedicated host and isolated. So what does it means now? So for an example when you create a VM a virtual machine like we did Let me just select uh we simply go to the size. in the size are you able to see the isolated size? yes So we have something called isolate size. second when you move further to the advanced section of your VM configuration. Here you get get something which is called as an host. And you see that it say that hey do you want dedicated host? Perfect. So remember this is a very very from providing what customer need. most of the time we only focus on share infrastructure. But we have other two options. dedicated host, isolated host. Clear? Understand where this configuration come from? One, if you want isolated, go with the SKU, you want a dedicated, you can configure to the advanc option. Second few customer or few few you can say that uh kind of a countries they say that they have a different reservation like for example US federal governments any agency you take they say that That's fantastic. You give me isolated. I love it. But how I can create this isolated infra? Very simple sir. Go to portal.ajure.com. Huh? portal. This portal. Used by how many customer sir? Millions in the worldwide. What will happen if someone compromised portal. I do not want your portal. Which is used by millions of people. I want dedicated to me. Only we can login. No one can. Germany federal agencies they say no I cannot use portal. Because it is used by millions of people. What will happen if you someone compromise your portal and they enter into your data center China they say no no no portal.io.com com. So in that case Microsoft say okay no worry customer for that I am going to create a complete new Azure portal with dedicated data center for you there only you can run your services no one others but you have to give me some business guarantee that that much utilization you will do and this is how Azure Space region come that is called Azure China. Look at that very interesting one. Right? So it means that when you are interacting with a different customer globally, you will see a different type of requirement coming. And he said that hey as of now I only know how to create a VM. What what is this dedicated host concept and isolated concept and now what is this Azure US Azure Germany Azure China. So for an example when you go to Google and just type here Azure China we call it as an special reason. This is this is something which is only available in a China. You cannot run Overall if you are in a Germany federal agencies it is only available Azure D that is a Germany. When you go to uh federal government agencies who want to run their services on Microsoft Azure, they have a totally different Perfect. So I mean to say when you understand about as an administrator because end of the day you are supposed to provision infrastructure to sub provide infrastructure you have to understand that what exactly the environment where I am going to work and this is how it will work there. Now another very very interesting part which you have to understand is how we can provide services to Microsoft or my uh you can say that my team my when they have something which is come as a project. I give you one thought process. let's say for an example and make a note that is very very important from your cracking the interview point of view and also if you are already on a higher level that let's say uh customer need 40 Server. 40 server next six month for one of their site. And this is very tricky. And you are an administrator. Remember they said that they need 40 server in next 6 month not now next 6 month. It is something like that. Last year we went to Singapore as a family vacation but much before that almost like a six five months before I already reserve hotel. Why I do that? because I know that in the last moment if I try to reserve a hotel maybe the hotel not available or even if it is available it might be at a very different cost. So here you will get a projection now that you need a 40 server in the next 6 month for one of the site one of the project and you are an administrator. Why I am emphasizing that you are an administrator because accessing the portal doing the task is my responsibility. Someone can only give you direction but they can they do not have a understanding how to click and where to click. So you will get a instruction you will get a provision that hey administrator please be ready we need 40 server in next 6 month anytime maybe in March maybe in April maybe in a June be ready. Do not come with the excuse in the last moment sir this cannot be happen. So one of the very important thing which you all have to understand here is when we say Microsoft Azure, AWS, they build their data center. They build their data center. This is their data center. In the data center, they have a physical servers. Okay. In that physical server you they create VM but how many server they have let's say for example Microsoft open their data center in Hyderabad and in that Hyderabad they started their data center with I'm just giving a very hypothetical example of 1,000 Dell server Usually in 1,000 Dell server you can hypothetically if you go with a 2 GB RAM you can create about a 10,000 VMs on all these 10,000 and remember this data center is not exclusively for you it's for millions of customer. So I as a customer who am I? Let's say I am simply learn. I have another customer. Let's for example infy I have another customer maybe XY Z. Now simply learn say that okay hey Microsoft I need 10 server Microsoft say all right I I can give you I have a capacity of a 10,000 server I give you 10 server to you infosys Microsoft I need 100 server you say yes I have a capacity I can give it to you but the problem is how many customer it can serve. So let's say for an example Microsoft say that a customer who want to probably come to my come to my data center uh to host their I am going to give them number of VM which they can create and they designed something called uh okay nobody uh is please hold down for a minute when we come to the lab part I will check it to you okay is Smithy just focus on what we you are learning because if you miss this one uh will be difficult right because you won't get all this information in any of the document or any of the lecture okay so what Microsoft do now then Microsoft by default enables something called kota this is default kota And by default the kota is you can have let's say for example D series server every customer can create maximum 10 This is the default kota. You go to Azure, you go to AWS, you go to Google, they set this default C and you are administrator and what will happen if you are not aware about that you create 1 VM good 2 VM good 7 VM good 9 VM good 10 VM good 11 VM you can't create yeah you can't create why because there is a kota and you are not aware And when you are not aware you are in trouble now. when you go to a Microsoft and when you or go WS or go to Google when you type you will see there's a whole lot of kota which is available. For example, when I say how much machine I can create let's say my uh uh US region or maybe in the uh you can say Mumbai region. Now one of the best part is when you are making or checking your kota which is default 10 you have to increase your kota size. So you can just launch a new kota and say that I want probably this much of kota which will uh you know going to uh give me and kota for everything. If you look at that kota for your server, kota for your and you just raise one request and you request whether accept by Microsoft or not it depend no guarantee. So depend upon your customer your agreement with Microsoft they will give you that okay how much kota you can you can go ahead and increase. So very very first thing what you do as an administrator increase but as I say increasing the kota is not a guarantee. guarantee that Microsoft will give you the VM on the same cost and why it is important now. So Microsoft said that there is a multiple way get my service. The popular one we call it as an ondemand price on demand means I just give you a very simple way to Let's say I am creating a VM and I just go with aside here and let the pricing to be load. Everyone able to see the pricing here. Last column at my screen. Look at that. The machine which we all create yesterday is a D2SV3 which give you two CPU 8 GB memory and the cost coming around $70 per month. $70 per month and very surprised after one hour after 1 hour when you again check you might see a difference. It can be 71, it can be 69, it can be 75. It's a dynamic. Microsoft reserve the right to increase the price of their services. and as I said yesterday that for Azure everything is budgeted in the beginning of the financial year. So what will happen even if you have a kota increase and when you try to create machine after 6 month or within 6 month you get totally different escalation pricing and then your management will catch you. Dear administrator, I told you six month back I need 40 server and today you are coming back and say that yes 40 server can be created but price will go now doublefold. So the second one you have to in a more sales language we call something which is called as an monetary commitment. Even if you do not heard all these word please make a note because this is the real time scenario when people use this terminology. When we say a monetary commitment it is something like that I am as a customer I am giving assurance to the Microsoft. Hey Microsoft, in the next one year I am going to use your service worth $1 million. When Microsoft understand that okay you are committing as a customer that you will use my service worth rupees 1 million. So as a guesture I said that okay customer so I am going to give you 20% discount but remember the word commitment that is a very very important one when you actually into the licensing terminology of the Microsoft or AWS or uh Google this carry weightage if you miss your commitment for one year, next year Microsoft will give you totally different pricing next year only. So as a customer it is your it is responsibility that we have to honor the commitment because on the basis of that commitment I get certain discount. So to have a monetary commitment one is the license agreement. Second, again as a technical person you can request for reservation. So you can request for reservation of your services. This is the reservation which we say all right dear customer I am going with a virtual machine and whether I am going with the uh uh D1 series virtual machine D series virtual just give me a second let me to load it bami just one Let's say I am selecting this one as a as a standard B series machine for an and I am just making that I want 40 server for you. Whatever the price come to me that price get lock even if the fluctuation come it doesn't work. by just selecting any of these move forward and say that okay this is what I make a provision committed to use for at least one or 3 year. Sometime the urgent scenario happen it was not planned but all of a sudden you have a request that hey can you create a server whether the server is temporary mean just for 1 day 2 3 day 5 day 1 week or whether the server which you emergency provisioned is going to run for next 1 2 3 uh landing zone others actually be discussing AJ 305 but let me see if uh on a day number four if I can throw some light to you. Perfect. Now, so uh look at that. Here the scenario change. You suddenly get a request. It was not planned at all that hey you have to create one server, two server, three server and that server going to use for next 1 2 3 years because it is not a part of monetary commitment. So by default it is go on on demand price. On demand price means if you create a VM today it show you $1 for one hour tomorrow it might show you $2 for 1 hour after 6 month it might be $3 for 1 hour and then you will get caught because as an administrator you also have to understand the budget which is allocated to your organization your your department you cannot cross the budget you say what can I do? So almost every cloud service provider, almost every cloud service provider they give a fantastic option be it in AWS in a J in a Google. They say that select your size whatever you want and then run Azure a spot discount on the spot on the spot. here you maybe you can fix that. Okay. Right now the price of my VM is going for for example uh $10. So I am just giving that if it is going beyond $12 just probably uh evict my notes so that or just shut down my server so that I will aware that it is now going beyond usually usually when you go with the spot discount whatever the price current now right now that will be locked for you Microsoft generally honor it. Honor in the sense they generally do not even the fluctuation happen on the real price it does not give you impact but at the same times Microsoft said that because you have not make it as a commitment I honor a spot discount to you. You can enjoy your VM for the next one year. I try my best try my best to uh give you the same discount already applicable to you. But from the Microsoft side, if let's say the price increased doublefold, then I cannot honor you. Then you have a choice. Either you can make a final monetary commitment if you want to hold that price or I will let your VM shut down and when you are start your VM then it will be on the on demand pricing. The next thing a spot discount. Now be it in Azure, be it in Google, be it in AWS, it doesn't matter. Same Request for the kota increase. Request for the reservation. Understand monetary commitment and going for urgent address of any of the server services. You as an administrator you must understand when to use what. Sometimes you get instruction, sometimes you may not get a instruction also. Since you work in a team, you can add a value. You can ask a question. Okay, you are saying that you are planning to use SAP in the next 6 months. Sir, can I re can I increase the kod? Can I make a reservation request? Because all this is going to take a commitment value, a face value. So your action may down the reputation of a company in front of Microsoft. Hey look this customer they say that they will use $1 million and they are still on a 100k. Next time this customer I will not give any discount. Noancy you are in problem. Now another very very important part which you need to understand as an how the OS license work here. So remember this is a very very tricky part when you are working and planning for a deployment deployment in uh you can say a Microsoft world like for an example for an example I give you an idea that I already have Windows let's say 2019 license and as a company I already have a 100 be are technically called such type of licensing as a onprem license. Remember yesterday when we create a VM we select Windows Server 2025 and we do not care about the license. So who is maintaining the license now? So what the Microsoft give you a offer now? Do you have an existing license or like in our case yesterday we do not have a license? No on prem license. So first let's understand this on no onprem license. When you do not have an on-prem license, Microsoft when you create a VM will automatically include that subscriptionbased license for you and you do not have to pay upfront money for your license. For example, one window server 2019 license cost approximately in Indian currency like 1 lakh 255,000 1 lakh 25,000 one Windows Server 2019 license Microsoft said that in the cloud I've been not going to charge you 1 lakh 20 thou 29,000 right Now what I will do I will I will break this whole license cost and tag it with your uses. So license cost build per minute cost of your VM. So when you see the price you see that this is the price 1 1921 hour and let's say for example I select here uh Windows server 2085 so it say that what type of license you have do you already have a license I say sorry I do not have a license so what the Microsoft do now then the Microsoft will add certain more value into this price and say that okay now if you take only VM I will charge you $1 because you are also asking me to provide you the license so your per minute cost or per hour cost now going to $110 or in Indian currency 1 rupees 10 pive So you say all right perfect now so you have a first choice that if you want you Microsoft will give you this license and it will build in the BM cost. You said that no no I have existing license. So Microsoft said that your existing license will not work here because it's a paperbased license. So it give you two choices. Now it say that you can convert your license from existing license to you know like a cloud-based license and in that conversion so I can say that on to cloud license Microsoft said that if you converted that I probably offer you because you already invested into license right you already pay the money to Microsoft I am going to give you let's say for example 40% additional discount you do not have to pay again 1 lakh 29,000 you just have to pay for example 60,000 that is fine okay but once you convert your license from on-prem to the cloud, you cannot use the same license on premises again. So let's say tomorrow if you create a VM and you try to use the same license then it is a non-compliance. You say can I use this license in on premises also? It say of course you can do that you have a choice now you can convert into the cloud license or you can use dual uses right we call it as an hybrid they said that I give you certain discount so for an example when you come to the Microsoft and you said that hey I give you the 49% look at 50% discount they are offering but do you want to use that if you thus probably just collect that and you can move forward and one of the advantage anyone who is new to this area that is a very important you have to understand when you use any of the Microsoft product any Microsoft product. You as a customer, you have a right if product has a problem, you can open support case with Microsoft. So when you open a support case with Microsoft, Microsoft may take 1 day, 2day, 3 day, 4 days, 7 days to first give you response. Not only in AWS, in AWS, GCP everywhere 7 days because you only purchase the product, you do not purchase the support plan. Clear? So Microsoft generally say that when you purchase a product, you can purchase a support plan with me. There's a different support plan for priority one support plan, priority 2 support plan. Priority one support plan. The moment you have a problem, Microsoft will respond you within 30 minutes. In the enterprise world, in the licensing world, they give you license plus they also give you software assurance. license plus software. So by default…
