Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a comprehensive cloud-based Identity and Access Management service provided by Microsoft. With the rise of security threats, it's crucial to build secure solutions featuring robust authentication and authorization services to protect your data.

In this course, we will introduce basic identity principles and teach you how to use Azure AD to control who can access your Fast APIs and how they can do so, using open industry standards such as OAuth2 and OIDC.

Course Overview

Secure APIs with FastAPI and the Microsoft Identity Platform is designed for Python developers aiming to implement secure, JWT-based authentication and authorization by leveraging Azure AD—a scalable, secure, and flexible identity provider.

What You Will Learn

  • Understanding the fundamentals of identity management and its importance.
  • Integrating Azure AD with FastAPI for optimal API security.
  • Applying OAuth2 and OIDC standards for secure authentication.
  • Implementing JWT-based authentication without the need for complex coding.

Why Take This Course

If you are a Python developer or solution architect looking for a plug and play solution to secure your APIs, this course is tailored for you. You will gain insights into Azure AD and how to use it efficiently without requiring detailed knowledge of OAuth2 and OIDC mechanisms. Secure your applications with ease and confidence!

Talk Python Training is the paid course platform of Michael Kennedy, the host of the long-running Talk Python To Me podcast — one of the most-listened-to podcasts in the Python ecosystem. The course platform extends Michael's interview-based knowledge of the field into structured video courses taught by Michael and a curated set of guest instructors.

The course catalog covers the full Python landscape: web development with Django, Flask, FastAPI, and the broader async-Python stack; data science and pandas; LLM / RAG application development; testing and CI/CD; deployment patterns; the data-engineering side of Python; and a long list of practical Python patterns aimed at working developers. Few platforms cover the language with this much breadth from inside the Python community itself.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 18 Talk Python Training courses spanning that range. Material is paid; Talk Python Training runs on per-course pricing on the original platform. Courses are aimed at developers using Python as a serious primary language rather than as a scripting tool.
