The Azure Portal serves as the central management interface for nearly all Azure services, making it one of the most frequently used tools by administrators and developers. This episode explains how the portal provides a graphical, web-based environment where users can deploy, configure, monitor, and delete resources with no coding required. Learners explore how dashboards, filters, and search functions simplify navigation across complex environments, and how the portal integrates cost, performance, and security data into one unified view. For AZ-900 candidates, understanding the portal’s purpose and capabilities is critical because it represents the foundation for resource management and visibility across Azure subscriptions.
The episode also covers practical workflows that demonstrate how the portal fits into daily operations. Examples include creating a new virtual machine, adjusting networking settings, and reviewing service health alerts. Learners discover how Azure Cloud Shell is integrated directly into the portal, offering command-line access for advanced users. The discussion emphasizes the importance of permissions and role assignments, reminding candidates that what each user sees depends on their access level.
