Integrating Hybrid Clouds with Microsoft Azure

In this course, you learn to implement a Hybrid Cloud solution with Microsoft Azure by using NetApp® Cloud Volumes ONTAP®. You connect an Azure Virtual Network (VNet) and an on-premises data center to unify your infrastructure. You use NetApp BlueXP™ (formerly Cloud Manager) to move data and manage storage in the hybrid cloud. You learn how NetApp cloud services are integrated into BlueXP to provide persistent storage for Kubernetes containers and enhance data protection, security, and compliance. You also learn to optimize the capacity and performance of Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
