How VNode delivers this

Who this is for, and how we run it

VNode ITeS delivers Design and implement cloud-native applications with Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB as an MCT-led Microsoft program for Developer. Typical duration is 12 days (Virtual, On-site, or Hybrid). Labs follow production-shaped scenarios rather than slide-only walkthroughs. Certification prep maps to DP-420 without turning the week into a dump of Learn modules. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.
