COURSE OBJECTIVE:
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Migrate and manage SAP applications (SAP HANA, S/4HANA, SAP NetWeaver) on Azure
• Leverage Azure Portal, Cloud Shell, Azure PowerShell, CLI, Resource Manager, and Resource Manager Te
• Use intersite connectivity features including VNet Peering, VNet-to-VNet connections, Site-to-Site C

COURSE PREREQUISITES:
• Administrators and architects of Azure solutions for SAP should possess solid knowledge of SAP Applications, SAP HANA, S/4HANA, SAP NetWeaver, SAP BW, OS Servers for SAP Applications and Databases.
• Prior to taking this course, it is recommended that students to have taken the Azure Administrator (AZ-104) or Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-303) training, as well as SAP HANA and Linux training.
Target audience:
This course is for Azure Administrators who migrate and manage SAP solutions on Azure. Azure Administrators manage the cloud services that span storage, networking, and compute cloud capabilities, with a deep understanding of each service across the full IT lifecycle. They take end-user requests for new cloud applications and make recommendations on services to use for optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, size, monitor and adjust as appropriate. This role requires communicating and coordinating with vendors. Azure Administrators use the Azure Portal and as they become more proficient they use PowerShell and the Command Line Interface.
