Overview

Module 1: Learn how to use monitoring for your Java applications on Azure

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

Understand monitoring Java applications on Azure.
Build and deploy a sample microservice application and configure it for application performance monitoring (APM).
Debug using application log streams on development machines.
Troubleshoot using incredible views, meaningful insights, and actionable logs and metrics.
Monitor the entire solution - applications, databases, and any other backend services.

Module 2: Create a Terraform configuration, provision your Azure resources, and set up your project for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) by using either GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines.

In this module, you will:

Create a Terraform configuration for your Azure resources.
Provision your infrastructure and deploy it to Azure.
Set up your project for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) by using either GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines.

Module 3: Learn how to drive higher utilization of your Java apps on Azure using autoscaling

By the end of this module, you can:

Set up a sample Azure Spring Cloud architecture that scales up and down based on load
Understand autoscaling concepts
Monitor the effects of autoscaling
Understand common design patterns for autoscaling

Module 4: In this module, you will learn how to use Azure to host your Java web apps, built by using IntelliJ IDEA.

In this module, you will:

Create a web app in IntelliJ IDEA
Deploy the app to Azure by using the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ
Manage deployed web app configurations using the Azure Toolkit

Module 5: Use the Maven plugin for Azure App Service to develop a Java web app and deploy the app to Azure.

In this module, you will:

Develop a Java web app
Configure the Maven plugin for Azure App Service
Deploy the app to Azure App Service using the Maven Plugin

Module 6: Use the Maven Plugin for Azure Functions to create a cloud-based function that is triggered when certain values are passed in the HTTP request, and outputs a log entry to track the activity.

In this module, you will:

Create a function project using a Maven archetype
Run and test the function locally
Deploy the function using the Maven Plugin for Azure Functions
Update the function and redeploy to Azure
Monitor your function's health with Azure Application Insights
