Who's disliked this?! This is better than any Pluralsight or Udemy course. Top quality premium content here. Thank you so much for taking the time to put all of this together!
This guy is my favorite trainer of all time! The information and delivery is top notch, it doesn't get any better. AND too be silly, John is such a big dude, it looks like one of the bad guys from Mad Max The Road Warrior is teaching technology as his main gig. SO, it reminds me of the end of Weird Science when the actor from those movies (an excellent actor btw) tells the kids, he "hopes this won't effect his teaching job." John is the best!
Super John, I've been taking daily lessons pursuing my AZ-104 certification and your content is amazing. Thanks for all the work you put together to help us.
Although these are very long videos, I really enjoy your (free!) content - hope I can make it soon from zero to hero (AZ-104) and further. Keep going! Thank you!
I've watched Pluralsight courses, Udemy and Skyline and other Online paid courses. They all follow a similar style, going over test bullet points as they guide you trough the Azure portal. They click on the buttons and show you how to do things, and sometimes even show the basics how to do the same with PS or CLI. John, when I watch your videos I understand the underlying concepts which helps me understand and retain the how-tos. It's one thing to know how to create a resource and how to apply a policy to it. It's a whole other experience when I understand the technologies that go into creating and governing the resource. Thank you!
Hello John, wow when I first found you on CZcams I was like, Lord, this is going to be a hard slog, everything so new and like Greek, but now I am actually finishing your sentences, and having Eureka moments. Thanks ever so much for the content its inspiring. Makes me right click, search the web, research a bit more, come back better informed and continue!!!
Oh wow! A lot to consider! I would love videos that dig deeper in Backups in Azure, as that would be more fitting for a lot of our customers. Backup of SQL-instances on VMs. How to secure backups the best way. What if the tenant gets hacked? How to prevent backups from being deleted. Those kind of things. Keep up the good work :)
Awesome John. Love your series, extremely concept oriented with guidelines and usage for cloud native solution while architecting a system... Great fuel for cloud native architects...
Videos are getting longer that said it is great to learn more, a lot to take in, definitely needs re-watching on the latter part of this video. Thanks again John superman effort, keep them coming Sir.
DR: "We had very little confidence this thing would actually." So true! I'm always surprised at the money spent on DR facilities when it's apparent it'd take weeks to get it running properly in a real scenario.
Dear John, thanks for this great video! This was an information packed dense content! I learnt heaps, and refreshed my knowledge on the topic. Braincells++ on a weekend! This is going to be very useful on my journey to become an architect. Again, Thanks and lots of respect. You sir are a legend.
@@NTFAQGuy Your hard work is always appreciated. You are putting in so much effort to make these videos and I just cant seem to keep up with you and I am just watching them hhahha There may be lots of people who lost their job in this hard Covid time and your videos will help them find job in the cloud. Just amazing
And another fantastically informative video digested, just another 75 in my playlist to go! Would love to think MS recognise your efforts for such super Azure educational resources. Perhaps honorary VP Azure Education ?! Any Patreon to support your efforts?
Thanks John, as always, very helpful. At around 1h38min you're explaining the Azure backup. Can you explain what the difference is between the "week based" vs. "day based" option you have for the monthly and yearly retention settings? Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable answer and once again have to ask the great Azure Master for help.
Awesome content John,really Helpfull.Though I really get confused in terms like BackUp and Snapshots. Can you please elaborate on those in any upcoming videos.. Thanks
Azure is so fun but i put customers in it and never really get to play around with its capabilities because the customers are far to small to get an advantage from azure's potential. I cant get enough of azure, it really is the future of the msp
@@NTFAQGuy I'm listening on headphones and for a minute you lost stereo, it's right channel only for a minute, then fixes itself and then couple seconds later breaks again and plays only left channel for a few seconds
The same circuit could be connected but what if the meet me had an issue? If you have multiple regions and datacenters its common to have two circuits from two different peering points.
Thanks a lot John for the Masterclass series, and all your other videos too! Very enjoyable to view and easy to follow, and useful in my daily work right now!!
Is snapshotting enough as a backup? Snapshots only store the changes, so if the original/base backup is lost, you can't restore the snapshot. How do I prevent this when backing up VM's?
The issue is they live on the same storage as the original. Azure VM Backup will work inside the guest and copy to a vault which would likely be better backup solution.
Hi John, fantastic master class! As AZs have higher SLAs than ASs, can I assume that when a host update happens AZs give me the same protection as AS does with Update Domains? Thanks
Hey John, love your lectures. I have a question if I have a single instance of a VM running one application, and I put this VM in an AV zone. How will it provide me resiliency during a regional failure? Will my VM remain UP?
@@NTFAQGuy Thanks, can AZ prevent the outage of a single VM instance in case of a data center failure? IN other words, is there any benefit to put a single VM instance in AZ?
No because an AZ may be made up of multiple traditional datacenters and a datacenter is not an AZ as multiple DCs may have common power/communications so not isolated. the key point of AZs is you see 3 isolated packets of capacity in a region.
@@NTFAQGuy Outside MS we can't know that information. I would assume that in some, perhaps many, cases the alignment is true though? Hmmm, the more i think about it though, I suppose also it would depend on what your definition of a "traditional Data Centre" is...if you mean a "building" and maybe there are three such adjacent buildings, sharing a single power supply (grid supply point) that one person might call three "Data Centres" another might say "No, not really, that's just one DC deployed across three physical buildings". It's semantics perhaps.
@@JeffMossOramoss the point is you really don't care how its physically made up. you care that you get access to 3 "things" that are independent for the power/cooling/communications so are isolated from that perspective to increase your resiliency in the region.

Super John, I've been taking daily lessons pursuing my AZ-104 certification and your content is amazing. Thanks for all the work you put together to help us.
Awesome efforts were put in your series, you are above of vast majority of paid courses on Udemy. Keep it up !
Glad you like them! FYI this version has been replaced with a v2.
Thanks John. Loving the series. I’ll be recommending them to our Architects.
Awesome, glad they are useful and thanks for sharing!

Pizza & John's Training: Great way to spend a Saturday night. 😁😁😁
I agree on the pizza part 🍕
Another great video John, another in the cap for the 305 - 24 hours to go 🙂
"Not to have any plan and leave the industry in disgrace" - Love this plan, absolutely awesome :-). Thanks for your time and energy.❤
Thanks

Thanks. I’ve been covering some new features of backup around delete in my weekly update. Make sure you watch :)
These are pure gold master classes!
Thanks! Please share with others :)

As I am back in the throw at MSFT, John your content has helped me rapidly ramp up with Azure. Thank you!
Great
Great video. Apologize for leaving the long question (it was really a comment) earlier. I appreciate all of this information!
Another one down in the series! Enjoying working through these, thanks so much for the fantastic content as always. Looking forward to the next part.
Glad you like them!
Thank you John. Your videos are always top quality with insights and far reaching implications for Azure architectural design.
merci John. One master class per day, good moment, very helpfull.
Thanks for all the effort you put into sharing your knowledge. The masterclass course has an excellent content!
Videos are getting longer that said it is great to learn more, a lot to take in, definitely needs re-watching on the latter part of this video. Thanks again John superman effort, keep them coming Sir.
Yet another marvellous presentation. Everything is crystal clear to me now. Always appreciate your effort.
Awesome, thank you. Glad it’s helping.
excellent series, thank you.
Passed AZ-304 with these videos
Congrats!
You're awesome John! Thanks for the great content
Thanks John. Brilliant video and very informative.
Thanks John!!
Ironic that this drops the morning after a massive global AzureAD outage for which there was almost no mitigating configuration...
lol, yes, for global services that's really outside your control. I recorded this Sunday :)
DR: "We had very little confidence this thing would actually." So true! I'm always surprised at the money spent on DR facilities when it's apparent it'd take weeks to get it running properly in a real scenario.
Dear John, thanks for this great video!
This was an information packed dense content!

Can you explain what the difference is between the "week based" vs. "day based" option you have for the monthly and yearly retention settings?

weekly would keep one backup per week for the duration you set, daily would keep one backup per day for the duration you set. HTH
Awesome content John,really Helpfull.Though I really get confused in terms like BackUp and Snapshots. Can you please elaborate on those in any upcoming videos.. Thanks
Backup generally will take the data somewhere else while a snapshot is in place delta store of content.
For the algorithm! 😁
Azure is so fun but i put customers in it and never really get to play around with its capabilities because the customers are far to small to get an advantage from azure's potential. I cant get enough of azure, it really is the future of the msp
great to hear!
Amazing content! Just fyi - at 01:09:44 for a few seconds something is happening with sound. Thank you for this video!
Thanks. I listened and can’t tell exactly if I was just pausing. I don’t think anything missed but thanks for letting me know :)
@@NTFAQGuy I'm listening on headphones and for a minute you lost stereo, it's right channel only for a minute, then fixes itself and then couple seconds later breaks again and plays only left channel for a few seconds
John,
Would I need a second express route for DR ? Can I just use the same express route with another virtual gateway in the DR region?
The same circuit could be connected but what if the meet me had an issue? If you have multiple regions and datacenters its common to have two circuits from two different peering points.
Thanks so much for the videos. What advice/learning would you recommend for someone with a goal of being a CSA? Do you have any videos on that topic?
No this channel is more technical content. The idea of architect did come up in the 50k ama
Great series, anything coming up soon for watchlists? Like to use these instead of dynamic lookups....
Thanks a lot John for the Masterclass series, and all your other videos too! Very enjoyable to view and easy to follow, and useful in my daily work right now!!

Backups never fail...only restores
lol, true :-) I remember my days with VAX/VMS the restore location had different tape system than the backup tapes. That was bad day.
Hi John, fantastic master class! As AZs have higher SLAs than ASs, can I assume that when a host update happens AZs give me the same protection as AS does with Update Domains? Thanks
Yes az combines the concept of fd and ud. So 3 azs means I have 3 fault domains and 3 update domains
Resiliency in Space and Time \m/
Hello John. May i ask what do you mean by saying he word "STATE" in the active /passive replication? How "State" is defined? Thank you in advance
Think of state as durable data I care about
@@NTFAQGuy Thank very much for the quick and helpful response!
Hey John, love your lectures. I have a question if I have a single instance of a VM running one application, and I put this VM in an AV zone. How will it provide me resiliency during a regional failure? Will my VM remain UP?
It won’t. AZs are in the region. You need multiple instances in multiple regions to be resilient against a regional outage.
@@NTFAQGuy Thanks, can AZ prevent the outage of a single VM instance in case of a data center failure? IN other words, is there any benefit to put a single VM instance in AZ?
@@cloudwithhimanshu no. Need 2 in separate az
Hi John , any chance you can record a session with Az ER GateWay deep dive resiliency ?
It's a managed service which means the resiliency is the responsibility of Azure. You basically pick if you want it AZ resilient or not.
If an AZ is impacted, can we restore the VMs from Azure Backup in another zone?
As long as the backup is grs or zrs stored. Or make the disk zrs
@@NTFAQGuy Thanks for quick response.
Do I need to worry about region failover when using Exchange Online?
no thats SaaS
Why don't we just call an Availability Zone a "Data Centre" as they seem to be the same thing?
No because an AZ may be made up of multiple traditional datacenters and a datacenter is not an AZ as multiple DCs may have common power/communications so not isolated. the key point of AZs is you see 3 isolated packets of capacity in a region.
