• Experience with profiling and troubleshooting applications.
• Familiarity with the Azure Portal.
• SQL Management Studio and basic knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
• An understanding of good security practice, including OWASP vulnerabilities.
• An understanding of the blue-green deployment model.
