Hands-On Azure Labs: Building Redundant Cloud Solutions

In this lab, you will create an Azure Resource Group, which serves as the foundational container to organize all of the cloud resources you’ll deploy throughout the project. By defining a single resource group, you centralize management, cost tracking, security policies, and lifecycle operations for everything built in this environment. By the end of this lab, you will have established the core building block that will support future labs, ensuring you can administer and monitor all related resources efficiently.

This brief video explains what you’ll deploy, why it matters, and how it fits into the project.

By completing this lab, you will be able to:

• • Understand the importance of using resource groups to organize Azure resources.
  • Create a resource group in a specified region and subscription.
  • Configure settings to manage the lifecycle of resources (e.g., deletion options).
  • Set the stage for subsequent lab deployments that rely on centralized, consistent resource management.

The skills you gain in this lab map directly to key objectives in the following Azure certifications:

• • AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Demonstrates your ability to manage Azure identities, governance, and resources.
  • AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect): Reinforces your understanding of resource organization and governance within Azure infrastructure design.
