In today's fast-paced business environment, organizations must deliver their applications quickly and securely. Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provides a scalable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for developing and deploying web apps, web services, and databases. This workshop will demonstrate how you can leverage Azure PaaS to ship your applications faster and more securely.
In this workshop, you will learn how to build, deploy, and manage web apps, web services, and databases using Azure PaaS with Brian & Mickey. While examples will be presented using .NET 6 & 7 with SQL Server, the principles you’ll learn will apply to any modern language and database supported by Azure. You will also learn how to ensure the security of your applications and monitor their performance using Azure PaaS. All of what you see will cover the single developer inner loop using Visual Studio 2022 while you’ll see good DevOps practices with GitHub Enterprise Cloud and Azure DevOps Services for the outer team loop.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to Azure PaaS
- Overview of Azure PaaS
