Azure Solutions Architect Masterclass
Go from knowing Azure services to designing secure, scalable, cost-aware solutions on Azure, through live building and real-world debugging. Prepares you for the Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) exam.
Azure services தெரிஞ்சா மட்டும் போதாது — secure, scalable, cost-aware solution-ஐ எப்படி design பண்றதுன்னு live-ஆ கட்டிப் பார்த்து கத்துக்கலாம். AZ-305 exam-க்கும் தயாராகலாம்.
About this program
Learn to design on Azure the way an architect does: pick the right identity, network, compute, data and recovery pattern for a business requirement, and defend the trade-off. Every module is built live in the Azure portal and CLI, and mapped to the four AZ-305 skill areas: identity, governance and monitoring; data storage; business continuity; and infrastructure. Classes are in Tamil, notes in English, and every session is recorded.
Who it is for
- No prior Azure experience needed: the basics are covered before the architecture
- Cloud, backend and DevOps engineers aiming for architect roles
- AWS or on-prem engineers who want to add Azure
- Anyone preparing for the AZ-305 exam
What you will be able to do
- Design identity, access and governance with Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, Policy and management groups
- Choose between storage, SQL, Cosmos DB and analytics services for a given workload
- Design for high availability, backup and disaster recovery with clear RPO and RTO
- Plan networking, hybrid connectivity, compute, containers and serverless layers
- Monitor, secure and cost-optimise a solution using the Well-Architected Framework

What our students say
In their own words, from students of our live Parottasalna batches.
Concepts are explained in the simplest way to understand. Doubts are clearly explained on the spot until everyone understands the concept — very useful for preparing for interviews.
If you want to change your role with the current trend, he is the best — and you can learn in your mother tongue. I can now change my role and attend interviews confidently.
The way you teach things from absolute scratch and not from an abstraction level really made me understand a lot of technical topics with much more depth. “I am able to explain why and how things work and know how to do it” — that would be the takeaway from the sessions.
The hands-on examples and doubt-clearing sessions helped me understand how to apply these concepts in my own projects.
Clear explanation with simple examples and a practical approach to real-time issues. You can learn the basics very clearly and gain the confidence to be a developer.
I now have the confidence to crack system design interviews.
