About the course:
Our instructor-led Microservices with Azure Service Fabric Training Course will give you hands-on experience creating robust, scalable ASP.NET Core Microservices orchestration solutions using ASF.
During the course you'll be exploring Service Fabric on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, but the principles will apply to whether you're hosting your own instance(s) of Service Fabric, or deploying to other cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).
As reflects the platform, we can offer very flexible customisation options so please get in touch if you have a less conventional tech stack, we would love to help.
This course takes a good look at the architecture of Microservices deployment on Azure - if you are looking to get further under the bonnet, you may also want to check out our ASP.NET Core MVC app development training course.
By the end of the course, you will have learnt about:
- Microservices concepts refresher
- The Microsoft Azure Service Fabric (ASF) architecture
- Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
- ASP.NET Core Overview
- Stateless vs Stateful Services
- Reliable Services Framework
- Reliable Actor Framework
- Inter-service Communication
Who should attend
This course is aimed at Developers and Architects who are looking to utilise Azure Service Fabric to orchestrate Microservices.
Prerequisites
Delegates should have some understanding of systems architecture and design and know their way around Visual Studio.
Prior to attending the course delegates may wish to sign up for a free Microsoft Azure account for use during the course, to see ASF in its native environment.
Live, instructor-led online and on-site training
We appreciate that you need flexibility to fit in with new working situations - whether you're an individual, part of a distributed team, or simply have projects and deadlines to meet.
Our remote training can take place online in a virtual classroom, with content split into modules to accommodate your scheduling challenges and meet your learning goals. Get in touch today to find out how we can help design a cost-effective, flexible training solution.
As soon as it's safe, we'll return to also offering the on-site custom training courses and programmes upon which we've built our reputation.
