Learning Microsoft System Administration in Azure

Learning Microsoft System Administration in Azure

If I am not wrong almost all Microsoft products will be on the cloud, and Microsoft uses Azure as its own cloud.
I would like to know how do classic Microsoft Windows Systems Administrators will convert to a parallel (similar)roles in the Azure CLoud.
do they need to pay to build and use  the Labs in Azure Clouds or it is free ?    what are the skills that are closely similar to classic windows systems administrators.
Like Active Directory, Exchange email servers, SCCM, SCOM.

Thank you

it sounds like it is Costly engagement.

In traditional Systems Administrator, all you need is to download windows server Eval and install whatever App[AD,Exchange,SCCM,SCOM] you need to learn and you train yourself for free.

To train yourself in Azure, seems like you need a big fortune

If you go to a website named "udemy.com" you get various courses like azure, office 365 for a low cost.

Just use free MS labs and channel 9 videos. That is enough for you to start.

Also, if you can get project on Azure, that will help you to learn faster.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

Does pluralsight have online virtual  Labs for each module ?
Amit

To my knowledge there are no online labs. Remember, online lab involve extra cost. That's why MS provided free virtual labs. I have used pluarlsight trainings and they are very basic to my skill. If you are new you can give a try, Also check this traning:
