About this class

Web App Operations & App Service Mastery is an operations-focused course for teams running production web applications on Azure App Service. Learners build practical, end-to-end capability across the full app lifecycle: designing separate Dev/Test/Prod environments, securing apps with Key Vault, certificates, and managed identity, deploying safely with slots, swap/rollback, and blue/green patterns, and operating confidently with monitoring, alerting, analytics, logging, and unified dashboards.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to structure an App Service estate that supports reliable releases and strong security controls, validate changes with low-risk deployment practices, and create a "single pane of glass" view that connects Application Insights, Log Analytics, and Microsoft Entra (identity) logs for faster troubleshooting and better operational decisions.
