Or Passing AZ-900
Last Friday I sat for an passed Microsoft’s Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) certification test. During my hiatus I had sat for an failed Microsoft’s Security Analyst (SC-200) test.
To be honest I really wasn’t prepared for SC-200. I breezed through the Microsoft Learn coursework and didn’t really study the material. Although I had hands-on with their security tools I’d never used Kusto Query Language. I kinda wanted a feel for how Microsoft tests were comparatively speaking.
Failing SC-200 wasn’t a big hit because I was aware of my shortcomings.
Still to me, Microsoft Cert Tests are trickier and have section blocks that limited the ability to go back and change answers, which I wasn’t prepared for the first time taking one of their exams, but was ready for taking the Fundamental exam.
This is exam is basically theoretical and based on understanding Azure on a high level and the using the cloud as a whole.
I would recommend using the following to test prep:
- Microsoft Learn for AZ-900 (free Microsoft course)
- Jim Cheshire book (pictured below)
- I microsoft also has ‘Virtual Training Days’ which can help.
Now to get more hands on with Azure!!
