Microsoft Azure: Publishing and Caching
One of the primary purposes of cloud services is for content publishing. The availability aspect of public cloud computing makes it ideally suited to the task. Caching is implemented in Microsoft Azure to improve performance, which is sometimes seen as the weakness of public cloud offerings. This course covers caching and web publishing; it also covers Microsoft Azure Traffic Manager and hosted Active Directory. Finally it covers alerts for monitoring cloud systems, and backup.
