Cloud Infrastructure Programming with Go and Azure APIs

To build reliable, scalable cloud applications, developers must understand how to interact directly with cloud infrastructure. This text-only guide teaches you how to programmatically manage cloud resources using the Go programming language and Azure APIs. You will learn the core concepts of cloud identity, secure resource management, and automated infrastructure provisioning. By the end of this course, you will be able to write clean Go code to authenticate with cloud services, manage resource hierarchies, and automate common infrastructure tasks. What you will learn: Understand the foundational architecture of cloud APIs, SDKs, and resource hierarchies. Configure identity management, access control, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) securely. Write Go programs using the official Azure SDK to manage cloud services. Use Azure CLI alongside Go scripts for efficient infrastructure automation and local testing. Apply modern Go practices, including proper error handling and context propagation, to cloud operations. We begin with essential terminology, exploring how cloud APIs function and how identity is structured. Next, we transition to practical implementation, guiding you through authenticating and writing Go scripts to deploy and manage real-world resources. This course is designed for beginner cloud developers and Go programmers who want to transition into cloud automation. No prior experience with cloud APIs is required.
