Prepare for the Microsoft AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification with hands-on labs and real-world scenarios. This program covers every AZ-900 exam domain—cloud concepts, Azure architecture, core services, security, governance, and cost management—so you build practical skills while studying for the exam.
You'll start with cloud computing fundamentals: deployment models, CapEx versus OpEx, and how IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS shift responsibility between you and your cloud provider. From there, you'll explore Azure's global infrastructure—regions, availability zones, subscriptions, and resource groups—and learn to organize resources for resilience and compliance.
Next, you'll work with core Azure services. You'll compare compute options like virtual machines, containers, and Azure Functions; connect on-premises networks using VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute; design storage strategies with the right redundancy and access tiers; and secure workloads using Microsoft Entra ID, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access control.
The program closes with management at scale: controlling costs with FinOps practices, enforcing standards with Azure Policy, deploying consistently with Infrastructure as Code, and monitoring health with Azure Monitor and Advisor. Mock exams and Microsoft's official practice test help you approach the AZ-900 exam with confidence.
No prior cloud or programming experience is required.
Applied Learning Project
Practice Azure decision-making through role-play scenarios and graded assignments that mirror real job tasks. You'll advise a client on cloud strategy, choose the right service model for a workload, structure an Azure environment for resilience, design secure connectivity between on-premises and cloud networks, and build a layered identity and access strategy using Microsoft Entra ID and Zero Trust principles. Capstone-style assignments challenge you to design a complete infrastructure deployment and identity architecture, and to create an Azure FinOps, governance, and operational health strategy. The program also includes mock exams and access to Microsoft's official AZ-900 practice test so you can gauge your readiness before exam day.
