Microsoft Azure is a public cloud computing platform that offers users various cloud services, including computing, analytics, storage, and networking. The Azure Functions is one of these services. It is a serverless compute service that allows users to run small pieces of code without being concerned about an entire application or having to provision and manage the infrastructure to run it. Azure Functions is designed to work with triggers to execute code in response to a variety of events. The Microsoft Azure platform and services, including Azure Functions, are important tools for today’s IT architects and developers to know and use.What Does this Azure Functions Course Entail?

Why Take this Azure Functions Course?
There are various reasons that IT professionals and those individuals looking to start a career in IT should become familiar with Azure Functions, and the Microsoft Azure platform overall. Perhaps the best reason is that Microsoft’s Azure is the most widely recognized cloud services provider around the world, and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That means that more and more organizations are using Azure and they need IT professionals who know how to use it.Additionally, serverless computing has gained popularity with developers because it has some important benefits that traditional cloud-based or server-centric infrastructures don’t. Generally speaking, serverless architectures provide developers with greater scalability, increased flexibility, and faster releases, all at lower costs. With serverless architectures, developers don’t have to be concerned with buying, establishing, and managing backend servers.
If you are interested in learning about serverless computing within the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform, this Azure Functions course is a must.

Instructed by
I am the CTO of Agitare Technologies, Inc., a cloud consulting and products practice in the Pacific Northwest. I teach Cloud Computing classes at North Seattle College as well as IoT classes in Bellevue College. Also, I manage the biggest independent Cloud Computing Community in the region – the CloudTalk Meetup.
My career in technology started more than 25 years ago while I was still a college student. At that time I was helping at my brother’s company to assemble and sell custom-built PCs. In 1995 the Internet became popular, and I was one of the first students in my university who wrote a graduation thesis about the Internet. My research on Internet sparked my interest in that area, and I’ve spent most of my career designing and developing technologies on the Internet. I’ve worked for small and large enterprises in Europe and US among which are the networking company 3Com, the German software giant SAP as well as Microsoft.
At Microsoft, I managed a Program Management team in Windows Client division, and later on, I moved to the Azure team. It was the right time to get into the new and exciting world of cloud computing, big data, and other emerging cloud technologies. As part of the initial Azure team, I had the opportunity to guide the early adopters through their path to the cloud and work with Open Source communities to promote the value of Azure.
Since then I’ve been helping enterprises understand the latest cloud technologies and develop scalable, secure and user-friendly cloud solutions. I always approach customer projects with a “how to make technology simple, secure and usable” attitude. I work with newer technologies like containers, cognitive services, and IoT and help our customers get immediate value out of those.
