Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator Associate (1科 Azure Cloud) 國際認可證書課程 (新制第 4 版)

Microsoft Azure Cloud 的優勢

Azure 具備超過 70 項合規性 (Compliance) 項目，提供更全方位的合規性涵蓋範圍，而且是透過契約方式符合一般資料保護規定 (GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation) 需求的首要雲端提供者。

為保護您的組織，Azure 將安全性、隱私權及合規性皆內嵌於開發方法中，並已獲得美國政府機構認可為最受信任的雲端，獲得涵蓋 38 項 Azure 服務的 FedRAMP (The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) 高級授權。

此外，Azure IP Advantage 提供業界頂尖的智慧財產權保護，讓您可以專注於創新，而不需要擔心毫無根據的訴訟。

Azure 隨時隨地提供混合式一致性 (Consistency across a hybrid cloud environment)：應用程式開發、安全性與管理、身份識別管理，以及資料平台之間都包含在內。這有利於降低混合式雲端環境的風險與成本。而 Azure 亦能讓應用程式及工作負載具備可攜能力。

再者，將 Windows Server 虛擬機器 (Virtual Machine) 移轉到 Azure 時，可透過 Azure Hybrid Benefit 省下最多 40% 的成本。

透過 60 個 Azure 區域 (Region) 讓規模擴及全球：令您可以選擇適合您及客戶的資料中心和區域，以便在需要時取得所需的效能和支援。

透過龍頭雲端平台加速建置！

業界公認了 Azure 是擁有領先基礎結構即服務 (IaaS, Infrastructure as a Service)、平台即服務 (PaaS, Platform as a Service) 和軟體即服務 (SaaS, Software as a Service) 解決方案的唯一雲端提供者。

事實上，根據 Forrester Total Economic Impact 研究，Azure PaaS 可協助您提高生產力並增加您的 ROI (Return On Investment)。這有賴於 Azure 提供了超過 100 項服務來將您的想法轉化成解決方案和端對端管理體驗，以及運用敏捷做法傳遞應用程式。

您可以使用任何開發工具或語言，依照您的方式，以您選擇的工具、應用程式和架構 (如 Jenkins 與 Chef) 來開發及建置。身為 GitHub 上領先的開放原始碼參與者，Microsoft 積極支援多項開放原始碼社群專案 (如 Kubernetes、fluentd 及 Helm)，並與 Red Hat 建立獨特的合作關係以提供多項產品間協調的多語言支援。

透過無與倫比的智慧功能發揮創意！
使用只能在 Azure 中找到的辨識 API、Bot、機器學習服務和區塊鏈服務 (BaaS, Blockchain as a Service) 功能，便能大規模地建置智慧型解決方案。藉由搭配這些功能與強大的 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) 計算，您便能加速深度學習、啟用高效能運算模擬，並使用 Azure 中的 NVIDIA GPU 來進行即時資料分析。

透過完整的進階分析解決方案，深入探索巨量資料！
使用 Azure Cosmos DB 便能將無限彈性調整功能整合到您的應用程式中，然後使用需求預測和庫存最佳化等商務分析解決方案，來將您的資料轉換成競爭優勢。使用解決方案範本快速建置、自訂及部署最佳做法，並透過 Azure SQL 資料倉儲，取得所有資料的轉換深入解析。

輕鬆實作立即可用的 IoT！
使用 Azure IoT 套件中預先設定的解決方案，便能快速開始進行最常見的物聯網 (IoT, Internet of Things) 案例，例如遠端監視和預測性維護。 其設計是開放且可自訂的，而且 46% 的 Azure IoT 認證裝置是以 Linux、Android 或其他開放原始碼技術來執行的。

透過完整的成本管理解決方案來管理及妥善運用雲端花費！
透過免費的 Azure 成本管理，便能發揮雲端資源的最大效益，亦能管理部門預算及配置成本。將虛擬機器調整成適當大小，來充份使用資源，並將 Azure 提供的多種購買選項成本效益視覺化。

透過 Microsoft Cloud 獲取更大的 Azure 投資效益！
使用領先業界的其中一項 SaaS 服務 (包括 Office 365、Dynamics 365 和 Enterprise Mobility + Security)，從 Azure 投資當中獲得更多價值。Azure 與這些服務共用許多基本功能，例如 Azure Active Directory 的身份識別管理，以及 Intune 的行動裝置管理。
