Solution Blueprints turns complex cloud, security, and AI curricula into one interactive visual map — every service, dependency, and connection on a single page, with each icon linked to the right learning content.
A Course Blueprint is a single visual representation of everything a course covers — resources, tools, hierarchy, governance, and how they interconnect. Icons are clickable, and layers can be filtered by module so you can focus on exactly what you need.
Grab the PDF to study, or the editable Visio template to customize.
Toggle module layers to show the whole course or just today's sessions.
Every icon links to the matching learning content.
Use the companion tracker to check off topics as you master them.
The Course Blueprints were introduced on the Azure Architecture Blog, shown in action for instructors on the MCT Training Delivery blog, and included in Microsoft's official Inclusive Facilitation Playbook.
