Software > Computer Software > Educational Software Coursera Project Network

Course Overview

What You'll Learn

  • In this Guided Project, you will create a Virtual Machine in Azure to deploy a web server, specifically a Nextcloud server.
  • Instead of using just the presets, you will explore how the basic architecture of Azure works, by creating a Virtual Machine, connecting it to a subnet, protected by inbound and outbound rules thanks to Network Security Groups, in a Virtual Network.
  • You'll also learn how to use Bastion to connect to the machine via SSH, without exposing an external port to the Internet, and then installing a simple Nextcloud server and make the Virtual Machine available to you by opening a public IP and a DNS label.
