Course subjects
Module 1: Introducing Azure Stack HCI This module describes the basic characteristics of Azure Stack HCI, along with its peer offerings that are part of the Azure Stack portfolio, including Azure Stack Hub and Azure Stack Edge. The module also presents an overview of the Azure Stack HCI core technologies and management tools, and a high-level walkthrough of a typical implementation process. Finally, the modules concludes with a summary of Azure Stack HCI hybrid capabilities, most of which are covered in detail in Module 4.
Lessons
Overview of Azure Stack HCI
Overview of Azure Stack HCI technologies
Overview of Azure Stack HCI management tools
Overview of the Azure Stack HCI hybrid capabilities
Module 2: Operating and maintaining Azure Stack HCI This module describes how to implement, manage, and maintain workloads on Azure Stack HCI. As described in the first module, Azure Stack HCI is designed to optimise performance, resiliency, and scalability of specific types of workloads. Implementing these workloads follows the initial configuration, which involves provisioning virtualised storage and networking layers on top of the hardware approved by Microsoft that is running the Windows Server 2019 operating system. This module provides an overview of different Azure services and Windows Server functionality that can be used to manage and maintain those workloads, leveraging integration of Windows Server 2019 with Azure.
Lessons
Implementing and managing workloads on Azure Stack HCI
Maintaining Azure Stack HCI
Lab : Lab B: Using Windows Admin Center in hybrid scenarios
Integrating hyperconverged infrastructure with Azure services
Reviewing Azure integration functionality
Managing updates to hyperconverged infrastructure
Module 3: Planning for and implementing Azure Stack HCI storage This module describes how to plan for and implement Azure Stack HCI Storage. The module covers the core HCI storage technologies in detail and includes specific coverage of Storage QoS and Storage Replica (in the context of Azure Stack HCI). The module describes the process of planning, implementation and management of Azure Stack HCI storage.
