• Store and access data in Windows Azure Storage, and configure storage access rights
• Monitor and log services, both on-premises and in Windows Azure
• Implement federated authentication by using ACS with ASP.NET Web API services
• Create scalable, load-balanced services

In this course, students will learn how to design and develop services that access local and remote data from various data sources. Students will also learn how to develop and deploy services to hybrid environments, including on-premises servers and Windows Azure.
