Partners can register for newly scheduled training sessions for Azure Essentials today. These multi-day workshops will be delivered virtually live across 3 timezones. Check out the agendas for AI Ready and Proactive Security below.

AI Ready

Anyone can build an AI workload, but is it well-architected and can it be managed and governed in a consistent manner?

This 2-day workshop will help partners deploy environments and design workloads using best practices developed and codified by Microsoft’s cloud solution architects. It will incorporate landing zone architectures that support baseline reference architectures for GenAI chatbots found in the Azure Architecture Center. The solutions will incorporate policy related to security, reliability and compliance, while adhering to the design principles and tradeoffs found in the Azure Well-Architected Framework. Once these policies have been configured and declared within the Azure Landing Zone, the workshop will leverage an accelerator to simplify the deployment of Azure AI Foundry. The end of day one will take learners through an exercise of setting up a GenAIOps process and relevant team roles.

The second day will switch gears towards individual workloads with an architecture and design session of a well-architected AI workload. The hands-on lab will take the learners through an assessment of a sample AI workload design, illustrating the key concepts and considerations specific to AI workloads. The session will then delve into building a PoC and getting it ready to deploy into production with tools, such as Content Safety, Chaos Studio and AI Foundry. Day two will round out with a discussion about ways to evolve, continuously improve, and monitor the workload once it’s in production.

This two-day online workshop is a crucial opportunity for partners to enhance their understanding and capabilities building environments and designing/operating AI workloads.
