This exam is designed for candidates looking to demonstrate foundation level knowledge of cloud services and how those services are provided with Microsoft Azure. The exam is intended for candidates with non-technical backgrounds, such as those involved in selling or purchasing cloud based solutions and services or who have some involvement with cloud based solutions and services, as well as those with a technical background who have a need to validate their foundation level knowledge around cloud services. Technical IT experience is not required however some general IT knowledge or experience would be beneficial.

This exam can be taken as an optional first step in learning about cloud services and how those concepts are exemplified by Microsoft Azure. It can be taken as a precursor to Microsoft Azure or Microsoft cloud services exams. While it would be a beneficial first step, validating foundation level knowledge, taking this exam is not a pre-requisite before taking any other Azure-based certifications.

In this course, You would find detailed explanations along with lab demonstrations for the services in Azure. There are review questions after every chapter and this would test your understanding chapter by chapter.

Corso iniziato con dei sottotitoli (generati in automatico e sbagliati ma comunque utili per chi non parla Inglese) e poi sono stati rimossi senza nessuna spiegazione.

In general course is ok but it will be much better that all learning examples contain same resources groups roles, e.t.c from the beginning, sometimes it was difficult to follow the context because author made some hidden changes. Example with Iot and simulators were cool, it will be nice to have much more similar examples

- automatically generated subtitles are faulty and due to the not optimal pronunciation the intelligibility is limited - in combination with this, the trainer should speak more slowly or structure his speech or cut the content so that it can be followed, with appropriate breaks. It's just too fast to take in all the information. No offense, but it's like a train that starts at full speed at the beginning and doesn't stop until the end of the line - The goal should be to create the most comprehensible content possible for the audience, not to squeeze as much information as possible into the shortest clip possible. Part 22 e.g. has been an almost perfect exception to that, because speech intelligibility and pace, as well as charts, depictions and so on have been very good. This clip lasted 9 minutes, and this is good and necessary. - Apart from that, the trainer gives the impression of expert knowledge

Awesome! Very well explained. Now as I have taken the path to learn Azure and started with AZ900, I wonder if I am going to get other class from Anand as well. I am curios and would expect other certification classes from him. Thank you, Anand!

The course really covers all topics in easy short videos. I like the way of explaining things with the help of pictures. There was plenty of Labs through which my understanding with the Azure Cloud becomes super easy. Practice Test can be better according to the real examination. I like to thanks Mr. Anand Rao for giving us a wonderful training in my organization through which I was able to pass the AZ-900 Azure fundamentals. Thank you so much.

Is the course available for futur reference once completed or we need to pay again if we need to review some topics of what we've learned like for exemple, if in 6 months I want to review the IOT topics?
