Duration: 5 days
Course Learning Skills: Azure
Brief
This course takes a detailed look at how to plan, implement, and operate scalable and reliable microservices to Azure Service Fabric. We take a detailed look at the development issues in Web API to create stateful and stateless microservices and see how to use the actor model to achieve concurrency and re-entrancy. We also cover important practical issues such as orchestration, containerisation, reliability, up-time and instrumentation for DevOps.
