For the projects in this course, you will assume the role of a cloud administrator at Cyber Domain Consultants, a firm specializing in Microsoft Azure cloud adoption support for federal government agencies.

Your client is a federal government agency. The agency is preparing for a Microsoft Azure cloud pilot. It is looking to spend $$100,000$ over the next year to test the feasibility of using Azure. Your assignment is to provide the agency's chief information officer a comprehensive implementation plan and a cost analysis for the pilot.

You will be completing two projects related to this scenario.

Project $1$: Comprehensive Cloud Plan $-$ The cloud plan needs to include the benefits of Azure, cloud deployment models, detailed explanation of Azure tenants, subscriptions, and resource groups. You also need to propose a cloud governance model to address the access control, and identity management. This project is due in Week $4.$

Project $2$: Cloud Cost Analysis $-$ In this project, due in Week $7,$ you will complete three tasks to outline the potential costs of the agency's Azure cloud pilot.

First, you will use the Azure pricing calculator to find the estimated costs associated with the pilot based on the agency's requirements and specifications.
