Hey Devs, I’m excited to share that I’ve 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.

📌 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 I’m focusing on multi-cloud expertise, I wanted to build a solid foundation in Azure.

📖 How I Prepared?

If you’re looking to pass the AZ-900 exam, here’s what worked for me:
✔️ A Cloud Guru – Completed the full AZ-900 course & labs (~25 hours including practice).
✔️ A Cloud Guru 150 Practice Questions – Helped reinforce key concepts.
✔️ Udemy AZ-900 Practice Tests – Took six complete timed practice tests (300 questions, ~6 hours total) by Scott Duffy.
✔️ Microsoft Learn – Used official free study materials for concept clarity.
✔️ Hands-on Labs – Practiced in Azure Portal for real-world exposure.
✔️ YouTube Tutorials – Supplemented my learning with free video content.
✔️ Reddit Community – Followed discussions and exam experiences.

🎯 Are Practice Tests & Labs Important?

Yes! Based on my experience:
🔹 If you already have a strong Azure/cloud foundation, you can skip the video courses and focus on practice tests and hands-on labs—this is the fastest way to prepare.
🔹 If you’re a beginner, I highly recommend completing all videos, labs, and practice tests to build a strong understanding before attempting the exam.

🚀 Key Takeaways

🔹 Hands-on practice is crucial – reading alone won’t be enough.
🔹 Don’t just memorize answers – focus on real-world applications.
🔹 Even if you work with Azure daily, practice tests help you get familiar with Microsoft’s exam format.
