1. Hvem passer dette kurset for?
Kurset er ideelt for nettverksingeniører og DevOps-administratorer som ønsker å spesialisere seg innen Azure-nettverksløsninger og de som satser på Microsoft-sertifisering som Azure Network Engineer Associate.

2. Hvilke forkunnskaper bør jeg ha?
Du bør ha erfaring med nettverkskonsepter (IP, DNS, ruting), på-prem og skyinfrastruktur, VPN, brannmurer, SDN og HA/DR-løsninger. Erfaring med Azure Portal og PowerShell er også anbefalt.

3. Gir kurset sertifisering?
Kurset forbereder deg til eksamen AZ‑700. Ved å bestå denne får du sertifiseringen Microsoft Certified: Azure Network Engineer Associate. Eksamen er ikke inkludert i kursprisen.

4. Hva lærer jeg i løpet av kurset?
Du lærer blant annet å:

  • Designe og implementere Azure Virtual Networks, IP-adressering, DNS og ruting
  • Starte hybrid-tilkobling med VPN og ExpressRoute
  • Implementere lastbalansering (Load Balancer, Application Gateway og Front Door)
  • Sikre nettverk med Azure NSG, Firewall, DDoS og Web Application Firewall
  • Tilrettelegge privat tilgang til Azure-tjenester via Private Link / service endpoints
  • Overvåke og feilsøke med Azure Monitor, Network Watcher og Traffic Analytics 

5. Hvordan foregår kurset?
Kurset går over 3 dager, undervises av sertifiserte instruktører. Det kombinerer teori, demoer og praktiske oppgaver i et live Azure‑labmiljø med hands-on tilgang underveis.

6. Er dette kurset praktisk?
Ja — kurset har betydelig praktisk fokus med hands-on labs. Du får gjøre oppgaver i et ekte Azure-miljø, som gjør læringen svært anvendbar i din arbeidsrolle.

7. Kan jeg delta digitalt?
Absolutt – du kan delta enten i klasserom hos oss eller via live, virtuelt klasserom – med samme undervisningsinnhold og lab-tilgang.

8. Hva slags materiell får jeg?
Du får Microsofts offisielle kursmateriell (MOC), tilgang til Azure‑labmiljø og støtte fra instruktør gjennom hele kurset.

9. Trenger jeg andre kurs først?
Det er ingen formelle krav om AZ‑104 først, men det anbefales hvis du ønsker et godt grunnlag før du går videre – spesielt dersom du er ny til Azure-nettverk.
