Home Lab Introduction: Microsoft Azure

brian

In this series of blog posts we will create a Microsoft Azure home lab. Hiring managers are looking for IT professionals who have at least a working understanding of Azure. By following along with these posts, you can create your own home lab that you can document and show to prospective employers.

Lab Overview

In this lab, we will create a Microsoft Azure account. Then we will use the account to learn about Azure compute and networking services.

In Azure a virtual network will be configured. Then virtual machines (VMs) will be created, and the VMs will be connected to the network.

Remote access will be created for the VMs. Then we will access the VMs remotely using Remote Desktop Connection and a VPN service.

In the next post you will learn how to create a Microsoft Azure account.
