Build serverless applications on Azure using its functions, tools & services for a faster & cost effective app managementAbout This VideoPragmatic approach with working examples for effective use of Serverless ComputingGuidance from the concept level through deploying & managing an applicationCovers the most relevant topics to bring you quickly up to speed with Azure FunctionsIn DetailServerless Computing is an architecture that is gaining popularity & with good reason: it's lightweight, perfect for microservices & provides reliability with flexible pricing models. With Azure Functions, developers can deploy code that performs simple tasks which can be used by other Azure services, including mobile & web applications, social network sites, storage accounts, databases & more! This course will train you in the fundamentals of serverless computing from creating & deploying an application to the options & configuration that you're able to control in your Serverless App using Azure Functions. To demonstrate the concepts, a sample application that issues Shared Access Signature tokens to provide access to storage containers will be deployed & configured using the Azure infrastructure & services.By the end of the course, you will have the skills to develop, run, deploy & manage your serverless application using Azure functions.
