In my latest 1:1 with my manager, he offered advice specific to my career goals. He encouraged me to get certified via the Microsoft Azure AZ-900 exam. In this article, I share the resources I used to pass the exam.

What is the Exam AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals?

Azure Fundamentals exam is an opportunity to prove knowledge of cloud concepts, Azure services, Azure workloads, security and privacy in Azure, as well as Azure pricing and support. Candidates should be familiar with the general technology concepts, including concepts of networking, storage, compute, application support, and application development. -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-900

The AZ-900 exam is a great starting point for anyone who has encountered terms including cloud, serverless, security, and pricing within an organization. Most companies are familiar with the terms "IT", "Engineer", "Security", and "Sales." Each respective department of these companies (provided that they are already using a service) has encountered MS Azure services. An individual in HR can only access HR files with permission configured by the IT team. An accounting department would also be familiar with the cost of implementation and other services that are are best suited for their company.
