2nd attempt after scoring 619 about a month ago. thought i was ready for it, i guess not😅. had 48 standalone questions and 4 case study questions. this test had more of the 3-point questions (yes or no) which i feel like i did okay in but not perfect obviously. i struggled with configuring az files & blobs, provision & manage containers in the az portal, & configure & manage vnets in az. with 686 being so closed im obviously pissed af but 100% determined to pass it now… the only real advice i have after taking it twice is do more labs. even when you feel like you’ve done enough, do more! submitted by /u/Longjumping_Fan9543 [link] [comments]

Hi Guys, need help, recently i attended Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Data Fundamentals​ for a 50% voucher for the DP 900 Microsoft Data Fundatamentals exam, and after that I got this mail below: https://preview.redd.it/0p4f6r0ayucf1.png?width=681&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e31d80b32476f0643b48e58432aaca466aee171 Nowhere in the mail is there any voucher code, nor in the presentation, like how do I find out where the voucher code is, PLEASE HELP ME OUT I AM CONFUSED. Also when I try to schedule a exam, nothing comes up. submitted by /u/shusshh_Mess_2721 [link] [comments]

No stories, just the reality is I failed the DP-900 when I attempted, I see these few pointers as a drawback. Not paying attention to the practice tests I used, whether it was updated. Did not explore different types of questions and resources. Resources used: official learning path, Tutorial dojo pt( thought I would explore the labs, they don't have those ig), Coursera course( felt useful) and a few YouTube videos( did not want to rely more on free resources). for revision. I did feel this was sufficient I think I should have explored more, taken more PTs from different resources, gone through more scenario-based questions, tried labs and spent more time understanding the exam structure. I have rescheduled it, hoping to receive suggestions from y’all submitted by /u/Equal-Box-221 [link] [comments]

Some major syllabus updates: AI Builder, Copilot Studio, Power BI dashboards, and connectors have been removed. Increased focus on Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Pages, with a new addition: “Create a Power Pages site.” The business value and foundational components section now has less weight, and the management and governance side has more focus. P.S. this is a june update just check If you’re using older materials, make sure to cross-check with the latest official guide before continuing your prep. submitted by /u/Civil_Actuator8943 [link] [comments]

I passed AZ-900 In June, Next step I want to get AZ-104 and now I'm looking for updated practice test submitted by /u/_RED_DEMON [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I am AZ-104 certified and currently going through the content for SC-200. I've been in a SOC Analyst position for the past year, my company does not leverage MS security products as of now, only third parties. It just made a lot of sense to go through this exam for my career development at this stage (I think). At least if I want to make a move. Rather than going the traditional route and follow the MS learn path I have arranged all the exam guide modules and skills in a folder hierarchy in Obsidian. At the moment I am browsing for all the topics in order, doing labs as I go through each topic and adding notes and screenies to these sections. Hopefully when it's done I can add that to my Github repo as a solid portfolio. Question is, am I wasting my time here? Do you have any advice, would there be a more efficient way to go about this thing? I just don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this cert... 🙂 Just trying to understand what's the best approach to the exam guidelines for MS in general. Last time I used Superman John Savill for 104 but this time there's no content. submitted by /u/yedyok [link] [comments]

my dad has been asking me to get started with the azure certifications but i really dont know what it adds to my resume. Please let me know how it has helped in your career and how exactly do i start. I was thinking about starting w the Introduction to Microsoft Azure Fundamentals one but if you have any other suggestions please let me know. it would be greatly appreciated. little bit background: ive completed my 1st year of BTech and thinking of starting w the azure certifications during my summer break. submitted by /u/PuzzleheadedSpoon69 [link] [comments]

Hey all, i saw the guide for AZ-104. That's great thank you. I want to specifically ask what do you all think of Microsoft Learn? Should i keep using that or forget about using it and just use what's listed in the guide? submitted by /u/Hgh43950 [link] [comments]

Hey all, I'm no stranger to Azure and I've already hit up udemy/MS learn and will be following up with John Savill for the AZ 700 exam cram. I'm looking for a solid recommendation for labs AND a sandbox environment where I can blow through and get my hands dirtier. I'm finding that my concentration these days has it where I can't be pissed to use my personal account/deal with the mundane and just need things already setup and ready to rock and roll so I can get moving. I've searched here and the typical mentions of Whizlabs, Pluralsight/Cloud Guru, etc...keep popping up. I'm just wondering what's best for being able to go "ok here's a lab i want to do, clicky button and "welcome to the sandbox baby....GOOOOO! make it happen!". It looks like the sandboxes that MS Learn had are now retired so here I am bugging ya'll. submitted by /u/Voriana [link] [comments]

Hi! I will be taking MS-900 this week and trying to find more updated practice tests. Most practice tests on Udemy seems out to-date. Anyone has any recommendations? For people who took this exam recently, where should i focus on? Thanks! submitted by /u/dwboutTh4t [link] [comments]

Folks who have finished AZ305 - I'm a senior software dev and I just finished AZ 104 and it was incredibly hard. Someone in my team recommended it and most of the administration stuff is not what I do in my day to day. Given all this, is AZ 305 worth it for becoming a principal software engineer / technical architect or getting a promotion. Do test takers feel like it helps for their daily job duties submitted by /u/Obvious-Equivalent90 [link] [comments]

Hi! Let me introduce myself. I'm a tech freak who loves learning and testing things at home related to computing in general. A long time ago, I started a vocational degree in Microcomputing here in Spain. I didn't finish it, and over the years I never went back to complete the two remaining subjects. Recently, a friend who works with Azure told me that his company is in urgent need of people. He said he could help me out with the certification — no promises, but at least some support. So my question is: if I start with the AZ-900 and another intermediate-level certification, can I realistically get a job in this field? I'd love to leave my current job and finally get back to what I'm truly passionate about. submitted by /u/loko012 [link] [comments]

Hello all! I've been psyching myself out over this exam since the end of 2024, probably, as it's required for my degree despite it not being a developer-focused degree path (WGU Cloud Computing). This is the last exam I have before I graduate and if at all possible, I need to have it done before (not by) the end of the month. First of all, is this a thing I can do? I don't have any cloud computing or dev experience, though I have a pretty good head for programming languages and can usually pick up what something is trying to do fairly easily. I've also gotten several other Azure certifications; most recently, I've passed an exam that was a slightly outdated version of AZ-104. I first started studying for 204 several months ago, but grew frustrated with the textbook and was then told by my professor that it wasn't really a good resource so I moved on to other courses. I've finally passed them, so, on to AZ-204... Current Plan I started the Udemy course last night and have been setting up flashcards by making my way through tyagishubham177's github, then skimming the appropriate module in Azure Learn to add in anything that's missing (thankfully, not much, and the stuff in the github is much easier to parse). I then intend to go through Arvigeus's github and pull out anything else not in my notes. Then, in theory, it's flashcards for days until I've got most of it down. I dunno if this is helpful but here's my notes. So, my questions... If, theoretically, I had the entire MS Learn documentation memorized (ha), would I be able to pass this exam with no problem? That is to say, is everything for the exam right there in MS Learn? As I mentioned, I have a good head for programming, but I haven't actually programmed in years. I used to know Python and Java, but I'm rusty as hell, and couldn't tell you how to do a for loop off the top of my head (at least for the former), though I could spot it if I saw it. Am I actually going to need to be able to write code for this exam, as opposed to just identify what it's doing? I've been reviewing the questions at https://az-204.vercel.app/ (and also I believe in Arvigeus's github?) and it seems that they're asking for coding. I can memorize CLIs, but I'm concerned that if I can't remember specific syntax I'll end up up shit creek. Are there any resources for learning how to navigate Azure Learn in regards to the exam? I'm assuming that it'll be much more efficient to memorize where to find detailed charts instead of cramming them into memory (for example, sign in endpoints for all the federated identity providers). Not entirely sure how practicing this would work, but hey, might as well ask! The hell is a case study? What sorts of questions should I be preparing myself for? I tend to do pretty terribly on exams unless I know what's coming, and my understanding is that most practice exams are way easier than the actual thing. I've heard there are "fill in the blank" questions, but in what way? Like, CLIs? In everyone's experience, what is the most accurate to the test? 5. How do I stop crashing out over this exam. please send help. Thanks all in advance for any responses, and I hope that none of this is too repetitive; I promised I've looked at a lot of Reddit posts about this exam and this is me trying to close the gaps in my knowledge. Wish me luck. submitted by /u/Xyriath [link] [comments]

I'm planning to take the 305 Certification exam. I already passed AZ-900 and AZ-104 and I'm having some hands on experience at work with the topics of 305. Any hints, tips and tricks, useful practice tests ? submitted by /u/Old-Professional-156 [link] [comments]

Next school year, I’ll have some free time, so I’m planning to work on certifications like AZ-104 and AZ-305 to build up my cloud skills. Is that good strategy, or I'm wasting my time and my money ? If yes, what should I redirect my time towards ? Thank you in advance for your answer ! submitted by /u/simrol260 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m currently preparing for the AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies exam and wanted to get some advice from those who’ve passed it or are studying for it too. So far, I’ve done: Finished AZ-500 Microsoft Azure Security Technologies Study Cram by John Savill Finished a random Udemy course (wasn’t bad for an overview) Currently reading Microsoft Azure Security Technologies (AZ-500) by Jayant Sharma PDF I’m using my work tenant to poke around Azure Security features — but I’m not doing real hands-on labs yet, just exploring how things work. Questions: Is what I’ve done so far enough, or should I add more study resources? Any must-read or must-watch recommendations? Should I set up my own test environment/lab? I feel like just clicking around at work isn’t enough. Do you recommend building scenarios and practicing everything step by step? What’s the best practice test for AZ-500 that’s good quality but not overpriced? Some practice tests cost more than the actual cert, which feels ridiculous. Any tips, practice test links, or lab setup advice would be awesome! Thanks a lot submitted by /u/dam3h [link] [comments]

First attempt, I ran out of time. Second attempt I came close but missed by a question or two. I had mistakenly thought I was well prepared since I was acing all the MeasureUp, MS Learn, and other practice exams I had taken. After that failure, I had google some of the questions I had received on the exam which led me to some sites with more questions to go over and understand the answers behind them. This time I scored 910/1000. The first couple of months I was watching videos and doing a lot of hands-on labs and set up some web apps, functions, custom domain and subdomain on Azure (and learning how to deploy them multiple ways and understand CI/CD). Frankly, the hands-on experience was the least helpful for passing the exam. You'd have to be getting into some specific areas that are represented on the exam for that to help. Most of the exam was fringe questions about commands to use and understanding what to use in some specific situations. I certainly enjoyed the hands-on experience much more than going over questions and answers. Hopefully this will help in the job market. In the meantime, I will start studying for the AI-102. submitted by /u/monkeydusted [link] [comments]

Do such exist on YouTube or elsewhere? I’d love to hear someone’s thoughts on these questions. I did find some that was read out loud by ai, but its reasoning and explanation was terrible and the accent super tough to understand. submitted by /u/Certain-Document-525 [link] [comments]

Hi to all of you. I am a system administrator. SInce almost six months now i am trying to pass the AZ 104. The problem for me its the huge and endless learning material this course has. To be more specific, the problem is that when you are start reading the official course, Microsoft at the end gives you the links for almost every documentation per course component (network, load bal, webapps etc). I think is very unclear where the limits are to the documentation for the exact course. You ending up with hundrends if not thousands of specifications and at the end of the day all this is becoming very disappointing. The problem its not at the concepts or at the explanation of them but at the huge field of infos with this and that an so on. basically thats the bad thing of software defined solutions. I have also Dojo, measure etc. But i think that the right path is to thart right fromm the bottom. The official documentaion in this case. Any thoughts or tips? It gets me really hard this and am feeling realy tired. submitted by /u/Aggravating-Fig7875 [link] [comments]

Hello, I am happy to share that I have passed AZ-700 exams (scored 868) today! 🙂 Leaving here few trips for anyone who is preparing for it. Why I chose to do AZ-700: Wanted to sharpen my skills and feel more confident when dealing with networking in Azure. Now, having completed this cert, I dont feel having shaky grounds on important things in azure, although Azure documentation is vast, this gives me confidence that atleast I know which networking service is used for what and where to go to reasearch more. This is important addition to my skill set. Courses I went through: Udemy course by Scott Duffy: Found it to be quite less in-depth. Udemy course by John Christopher: felt many topics were not covered in depth. Udemy course by Alan Rodrigues: This one is better. Instructor explains from basic. Even shows how to setup the things inside Windows OS or linux. This is must for someone who has less exposure on OS Admin side or absolute beginner. But does not covers many topics in deep. Udemy Azure Load Balancing Services by Hussein Awad: Excellent course for anyone who is looking to master the Azure LB services. A must to have for Azure FD! He explains each concepts very well. Udemy Course by Christopher Nett on Hybrid cloud: Can browse some sections on to advance your understanding on VPN. And some sample questions from Udemy. Youtube channels: I refered Travis Roberts video on Private DNS Resolver for inbound and outbound and it was quite helpful! Also, this guys does awesome in-depth videos on advance topics on Azure Networking : https://www.youtube.com/@AdamStuart1/videos Hands-On : Micrososft Learning Git followed on my PAYG account: https://microsoftlearning.github.io/AZ-700-Designing-and-Implementing-Microsoft-Azure-Networking-Solutions/ > I dint tried all, but skimmed through many. About AZ-700 exam: Questions in Exams were quite verbose. Those can cause confusion and waste time. (wonder why not just show diagram instead.) Unlike, AZ-104 or AZ-305, I felt AZ-700 requires more attention to the details to extraneous info like setup of on-prem machine etc. else you might miss a major clue. I would not attempt AZ-700, without AZ-104 or 1-2 years of work experience with azure, as many of the questions demand understanding of IaaS and PaaS services. AZ-700 includes a lot of confusing stuffs like Azure Network Adapter vs Azure Extend Network, WAF with AppGw and FD etc. Needs a good memory / recall. Learn Search Tips: Pick up the keywords or intent of the question for search asap. (The Learn search displays only the In-url match text. ) Use Double quotes for exact search e.g. use double quotes to easily locate exact Powershell code Docs have different types of docs such as Tutorials, Powershell Reference, Quickstarts, FAQ etc. These can be very helpful for many questions such as Order of steps for the questions that ask to drag drop in order. "Find on Page" Ctrl+F is not available so you should know how to locate articles. Learn Search Resets if you switch back to exam window this can waste time. Further tips in comments. Where I might go from here: I make notes for all important TODO scenarious presented from the Questions sets. This would help me try out those scenarious in my PAYG lab in free time. Thanks for reading. Any question, please ask. submitted by /u/azure-only [link] [comments]
