I Earned My Microsoft Azure AZ-900 Certification! ๐๐
Hey Devs, Iโm excited to share that Iโve officially cleared the Microsoft Azure AZ-900 (Microsoft Azure Fundamentals) certification! This marks another milestone in my cloud journey, as I work towards multi-cloud expertise.
๐ Why I Took This Exam?
Azure is one of the leading cloud platforms, and understanding its core concepts is essential for anyone in cloud computing, DevOps, AI/ML, or software development. Since Iโm focusing on multi-cloud expertise, I wanted to build a solid foundation in Azure.
๐ How I Prepared?
If youโre looking to pass the AZ-900 exam, hereโs what worked for me:
โ๏ธ A Cloud Guru โ Completed the full AZ-900 course & labs (~25 hours including practice).
โ๏ธ A Cloud Guru 150 Practice Questions โ Helped reinforce key concepts.
โ๏ธ Udemy AZ-900 Practice Tests โ Took six complete timed practice tests (300 questions, ~6 hours total) by Scott Duffy.
โ๏ธ Microsoft Learn โ Used official free study materials for concept clarity.
โ๏ธ Hands-on Labs โ Practiced in Azure Portal for real-world exposure.
โ๏ธ YouTube Tutorials โ Supplemented my learning with free video content.
โ๏ธ Reddit Community โ Followed discussions and exam experiences.
๐ฏ Are Practice Tests & Labs Important?
Yes! Based on my experience:
๐น If you already have a strong Azure/cloud foundation, you can skip the video courses and focus on practice tests and hands-on labsโthis is the fastest way to prepare.
๐น If youโre a beginner, I highly recommend completing all videos, labs, and practice tests to build a strong understanding before attempting the exam.
๐ Key Takeaways
๐น Hands-on practice is crucial โ reading alone wonโt be enough.
๐น Donโt just memorize answers โ focus on real-world applications.
๐น Even if you work with Azure daily, practice tests help you get familiar with Microsoftโs exam format.
