Lab Catalog
Build real systems, layer by layer.
6 tracks. 35+ scenario-driven labs. Each track tells a story — from first deployment to production-grade architecture.
SaaS company exposing APIs to global partners. Build from a single App Service to a fully secured, multi-region active-active API platform — with APIM policies, Redis caching and failover drills.
App Service + Custom Domain + SSL
Deploy a Python Flask API to Azure App Service, configure a custom domain, provision a managed SSL certificate and validate end-to-end HTTPS. Your first production-ready API.
Front Door + WAF + Geo-filtering
Put Azure Front Door Standard in front of your API. Configure WAF rules, block traffic by country, test CDN caching and set up health probes. Learn when to use Front Door vs App Gateway.
APIM + VNet + Active-Active Backend Pool
Deploy API Management in External VNet mode, configure an active-active backend pool across two App Services, apply JWT validation and rate limiting policies. The enterprise API gateway pattern.
APIM + OAuth2 + Azure AD App Registration
Secure your APIM gateway with OAuth2 flows. Register a client app in Azure AD, configure the validate-jwt policy and test token-based access. Zero hardcoded credentials anywhere.
APIM + Redis Cache + Rate Limiting at Scale
Add Azure Cache for Redis to APIM. Configure response caching policies, implement per-subscription rate limits and quota policies. Test with load simulation — see cache hit rates live.
Multi-Region Active-Active + Failover Drill
Deploy the full API stack across two Azure regions. Use Front Door to route globally. Then deliberately fail one region — watch traffic shift automatically. This is the capstone of Track 1.
E-commerce platform migrating monolith to microservices. Start with a single AKS cluster, add ingress, CI/CD, secrets management, autoscaling and observability — ending with a zero-downtime blue/green multi-cluster setup.
AKS Cluster + First App Deployment
Provision an AKS cluster from scratch. Containerise a Flask app, push to ACR and deploy via kubectl. Understand nodes, pods, services and the Azure control plane — all in one session.
AKS + NGINX Ingress + TLS (real domain)
Install the NGINX Ingress Controller, configure cert-manager for automatic TLS and route traffic to multiple services. Your Kubernetes app gets a real HTTPS domain in this session.
AKS + ACR + GitHub Actions CI/CD
Build a complete GitOps pipeline: push code to GitHub → Actions builds the image → pushes to ACR → deploys to AKS automatically. Code-to-cluster in under 3 minutes.
AKS + APIM as Enterprise API Gateway
Put APIM in front of your AKS workloads. Configure APIM to route to internal Kubernetes services, apply rate limiting and JWT policies — the pattern used in real enterprise microservices.
AKS + Key Vault CSI Driver (zero secrets in code)
Mount Azure Key Vault secrets directly into pods using the CSI driver and Managed Identity. No passwords in environment variables, no secrets in YAML files. The production standard for secret management.
AKS + HPA + KEDA + Cluster Autoscaler
Configure Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, install KEDA for event-driven scaling (scale from zero on queue depth) and enable the Cluster Autoscaler. Simulate 1000 concurrent requests and watch the cluster breathe.
AKS + Cosmos DB (stateful microservices)
Connect your AKS microservices to Cosmos DB using Managed Identity — no connection strings in code. Implement optimistic concurrency, handle partition key design and test global distribution.
AKS + Prometheus + Grafana + Alerts
Deploy the kube-prometheus-stack, build Grafana dashboards for pod CPU, memory and request latency, create Azure Monitor alerts and configure PagerDuty-style notification channels. Full observability.
Multi-cluster AKS + Front Door (Blue/Green)
Run two AKS clusters in different regions behind Azure Front Door. Deploy a new version to the green cluster, shift 10% traffic, validate, then cut over 100% — with instant rollback. Zero-downtime release mastery.
Retail bank building a real-time fraud detection system. From raw Databricks notebooks to a full streaming pipeline — Event Hub ingesting transactions, Delta Live Tables detecting anomalies, Power BI showing it live.
Databricks Workspace + Delta Lake Basics
Create a Databricks workspace, spin up a cluster, ingest CSV data into Delta Lake, run ACID transactions and query with Spark SQL. The foundation every data engineer needs before anything else.
ADLS Gen2 + Databricks + Unity Catalog
Build the bronze/silver/gold medallion architecture on ADLS Gen2. Configure Unity Catalog for data governance, set access policies per team and audit data lineage — enterprise data governance from day one.
ADF Pipeline + Databricks Transformation
Build an Azure Data Factory pipeline that extracts from SQL, transforms in Databricks notebooks and loads into Delta Lake. Schedule it, handle failures with retry logic and monitor run history.
Event Hub + Stream Analytics (Real-Time)
Ingest 10,000+ events per second from a simulated transaction feed into Event Hub. Write Stream Analytics queries to detect patterns in real time and output alerts to Cosmos DB. No Databricks — pure streaming.
Event Hub → Databricks → Delta Live Tables
Connect Event Hub to Databricks Structured Streaming. Build Delta Live Tables pipelines that process transactions in real time, apply fraud-scoring logic and write results to the gold layer continuously.
Synapse Analytics + Dedicated SQL + Power BI
Create a Synapse workspace, load data into a Dedicated SQL Pool, optimise with distribution and indexes, then connect Power BI for live executive dashboards. The analyst-ready warehouse pattern.
End-to-End: IoT → Streaming → Databricks → Dashboard
The Track 3 capstone. IoT Hub ingests simulated device data, Stream Analytics pre-filters, Databricks applies ML scoring, results land in Synapse and Power BI shows it live. The full modern data platform.
Healthcare company preparing for a security audit. Start with identity and access, layer on secrets management, external identity and conditional access — ending with a live Sentinel SIEM detecting real attack patterns.
Azure AD + RBAC + Privileged Identity Management
Create users and groups, assign built-in and custom RBAC roles, configure PIM for just-in-time privileged access and run an access review. Least privilege from scratch — the AZ-104 and AZ-500 core topic.
Key Vault + Managed Identity (Passwordless Architecture)
Store all app secrets in Key Vault, assign a Managed Identity to an App Service and AKS pod, and retrieve secrets at runtime — zero passwords in code, zero connection strings in config. The production standard.
Azure AD B2C (Customer Identity)
Build a B2C tenant, configure sign-up/sign-in user flows with Google and GitHub as social providers, customise the login UI with your brand and integrate token validation in an API. Customer identity in one session.
Conditional Access + MFA + Named Locations
Design and enforce Zero Trust policies: require MFA for admin roles, block access from non-compliant devices, configure named locations for office IP ranges and test with break-glass accounts. Real policy enforcement.
Defender for Cloud + Secure Score to 80%
Enable Defender for Cloud across a subscription, read your Secure Score, fix real recommendations (open ports, missing encryption, unpatched VMs) and get above 80%. This is what the auditor actually checks.
Microsoft Sentinel + KQL Threat Hunting
Deploy Sentinel, connect Log Analytics data sources, write KQL queries to detect brute-force and impossible travel patterns, create analytic rules and trigger playbooks. Build your own mini-SOC in 3 hours.
Startup needing identical dev, staging and prod environments. Learn Bicep and Terraform from zero, set up GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines, ending with a single command that provisions the full AKS stack.
Bicep: First Template + Parameters + Modules
Write your first Bicep template, parameterise it for multiple environments, extract reusable modules and deploy via Azure CLI. Replace your portal clicking habit with code that runs in under 2 minutes.
Terraform: State + Remote Backend + Workspaces
Move beyond local tfstate files — configure Azure Blob Storage as a remote backend with state locking, use workspaces for dev/staging/prod environments and handle state safely in a team. The way production Terraform works.
GitHub Actions: Full Azure CI/CD Pipeline
Build a multi-stage GitHub Actions workflow: lint → test → build Docker image → push to ACR → deploy to App Service. Add environment approvals, secrets via Key Vault and rollback on failure. Code to Azure in 8 minutes.
Azure DevOps: Environments + Approvals + Gates
Create Azure Pipelines with multi-stage YAML, configure deployment environments with required approvals, add quality gates (test coverage, security scan) and set up branch policies. Enterprise deployment governance.
Terraform: Deploy Full AKS Stack in 1 Command
Write production-grade Terraform modules that deploy: AKS cluster, ACR, Key Vault, Managed Identity, NGINX Ingress, cert-manager and monitoring — all from a single `terraform apply`. The Track 2 stack as code.
"Why is our Azure bill ₹4 lakh this month?" Learn to monitor, alert, analyse and right-size your Azure infrastructure. This track is unique — nobody teaches Azure cost optimisation hands-on. Until now.
Azure Monitor + Log Analytics + Alerts
Set up a Log Analytics workspace, connect VMs and App Services, write KQL queries to detect anomalies and create action group alerts (email, Teams, webhook). Never be surprised by an outage again.
Application Insights + Distributed Tracing
Instrument a microservices app with Application Insights SDK, trace requests across service boundaries, set up availability tests and use the Application Map to pinpoint which service is causing latency. Debug production like a pro.
Cost Management + Budgets + Anomaly Alerts
Configure billing scopes, create monthly budgets with automated alerts at 80% and 100% thresholds, enable anomaly detection and use Cost Analysis to identify the top 5 cost drivers in a subscription. FinOps Day 1.
Azure Advisor + Right-Sizing (Cut Bills 30%)
Work through real Azure Advisor recommendations: right-size underutilised VMs, delete orphaned disks and public IPs, convert to Reserved Instances and enable auto-shutdown. Practical drill that typically saves 25–35% of monthly spend.
Azure Workbooks + Custom Dashboards for Leadership
Build parameterised Azure Workbooks that show cost trends, SLA compliance and resource health — filtered by team, environment and time range. Pin them to a shared dashboard your CTO can actually read.
