Permit to Cloud: Landing with Confidence in Azure

This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Permit to Cloud: Landing with Confidence in Azure. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.

The cloud provides a lot of great benefits for running your applications, but understanding and avoiding pitfalls will make the journey a lot more predictable and be more likely to provide the return on investment of time and energy put into the migration. In this course, Mike Benkovich takes you through the cloud journey, starting with how to build cloud-aware apps, to adding practices and processes to ensure you’re working in a way that can support the lifespan of your applications. Mike also shows how to use continuous delivery with GitHub Actions and DevOps pipelines, how to get started with Infrastructure as code, and discusses governance and policy. If you’re looking to move your applications to the cloud, join Mike in this course as he provides you with guardrails to make the journey successfully.

Instructions

This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.

Branches

The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter. Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
