How to Build Azure

The latest addition to BuildAzure.com is the all new How to Build Azure guides! This is a new section of BuildAzure.com that hosts “How to” style guides to help you be more productive working in the Microsoft Azure cloud.

Here’s a few of the latest guides in the How to Build Azure archive:

Additionally, in the How to Build Azure catalog are the Microsoft Cloud Workshops; which are developed by Microsoft and released as Open Source. These are hosted here to help give visibility and increase the accessibility of the awesome resource that is the Microsoft Cloud Workshops! Below is a list of a few of the Microsoft Cloud Workshops in How to Build Azure:

The new “Guide” content type in BuildAzure.com is designed to provide “How to” or “Lab” style guides on how to do things in the Microsoft Azure cloud. Rather than “lab guides” that are step-by-step learning resources, How to Build Azure is meant to help you be more productive in your day-to-day job. How to Build Azure is a productivity booster resource to go along with all the Articles posted on the site; from certifications to architecture, developer, devops, and beyond. These guides can be found in the “Guides” header menu item of BuildAzure.com, and displayed in the sidebar of the website.
