FAQs

What does storage in a hybrid Azure environment mean?

Storage solutions in a hybrid Azure environment refer to the combination of on-premise and cloud-based data storage services from Microsoft's cloud platform, Azure. A hybrid storage solution means that organizations store their data both locally and in the cloud, but for most users that distinction is effectively invisible. A hybrid storage solution is often used when a company wishes to integrate their existing data storage infrastructure with Azure's cloud options.

What are the advantages of hybrid Azure environments?

The largest advantage to using Azure hybrid environments for storage is the speed at which storage space can be scaled up and down, without impacting the on-premise environment. Pay-as-you-go pricing means organizations that experience rapid changes in their data storage needs can offload the responsibility of data maintenance and still stay productive.

What are the pros and cons of using Azure for storage solutions?

The pros of using hybrid Azure storage solutions lies in its scalability, cost-effectiveness and global accessibility. But the potential downsides are mirrored in those capabilities: with possible latency issues, security and complexity. Hybrid Azure storage allows companies to rapidly expand storage capacity, but if users are attempting to access from several different global regions, connections are prone to being slowed down. And keeping that data secure requires careful configuration.

Is this hybrid Azure storage training associated with any certifications?

Although this course on implementing hybrid storage solutions isn't directly associated with any Microsoft certifications, it is useful for training plans that include certification in the end. This is a short, skills-focused course that emphasizes real-world familiarity with the Azure interface and configuring storage solutions. Understanding how Azure storage works will be helpful for anyone who wants to earn a cert like the Azure Data Engineer Associate.

Will this Azure training on Azure hybrid storage get me a job?

This course quickly covers one aspect of maintaining an organization's hybrid data environment. That single skill is probably not enough on its own to get you a full-time job as a database administrator or data engineer. However, understanding Azure hybrid environments is a valuable skill and being prepared to implement storage solutions is a marketable one. Combined with experience and other cloud administration knowledge, this course looks great on a resume.

Who is this for?

This Azure Storage for Hybrid Environments training is considered administrator-level Microsoft training, which means it was designed for systems administrators. This Azure skills course is designed for systems administrators with three to five years of experience with Microsoft Windows Server best practices.

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
