What have we learned in this lesson?
Well, I want you to walk away strongly considering centralizing your
hybrid cloud log management and Azure Log Analytics.
You don't need a site‑to‑site VPN.
You don't need an ExpressRoute. You don't need to, strictly speaking,
onboard your on‑premises and off‑cloud servers into Azure Arc, but
doing so will not only make it easier to capture performance counters,
and log data, and event logs from those systems, but there's other
stuff with Azure Arc that can make your life easier as a hybrid cloud
administrator,
things like Azure Policy, using the VM extension framework, and so on.
So I just want you to walk away thinking of that.
The other thing relates not only to other Microsoft cert exams
that you may be interested in in the future,
but also in terms of future proofing your career. You've seen that Azure Log
Analytics uses the Kusto Query Language as its universal data access language.
Although you're very unlikely to see KQL on AZ‑801,
I can almost guarantee you will see it on most of the other Azure
associate and expert level certification exams. Going further, because KQL
is used universally, not just in Azure, but across the entire Microsoft
Cloud Platform, it's not going anywhere.
So you're going to do yourself a big favor in extending, renewing your
viability in the IT marketplace by understanding the query language and
being able to answer important troubleshooting questions by leveraging KQL
queries and alerts. In the next module, we'll monitor Windows Server
entirely using Azure services.
I look forward to it.
Thank you for your participation. I'll see you then.
