Do you have any recommendations for the practice exam? I am currently using MeasureUp but there might be other practice exams as additional exam prep tools. Thank you!

I’m sorry but I don’t see the changes you say exist with the update you made to November 9th on the Az-900 test. Can you please tell me where they are?

Hi Thomas,

On the Uk site, i do not see the new skills guide that has 6 items now. Is there any way you could publish the correct URL for the skills measured?
Thanks

Nice article. Thanks.

One question. If I check the current “Measured Skills” document I find a topic like “describe the benefits and usage of core Azure architectural components” (under “Describe Core Azure Services”). I was unable to find this resources about it in your blog post or on the Microsoft Learning Paths. Can you give me a hint?

Hi Thomas,

I hope you are doing well.

I am new to the cloud and have started preparing for Azure Fundamentals certification to begin my Azure cloud journey.

I am reaching out to you looking for some clarification on the queries I have with regard to Cloud learning. Would be really helpful if you can share your thoughts.

I chose Azure and not AWS for three main reasons:

1) 90% of Fortune 500 companies run on Azure
2) Suit of products from Microsoft that are being widely used by organizations across the world. So, there would be more demand for the IT professionals with Azure knowledge
3) AWS market is too crowded. Too many people with 7x certifications and competition is fierce (per my observation)

To be honest, I have zero knowledge about the features that AWS brings to the table. Neither Azure nor GCP. But, I preferred Azure for aforementioned reasons.

Lately, I saw this on Twitter where Andrew mentions the advantages in choosing AWS in his replies.

Would be really helpful if you can provide your insights on the below:

1) Did I make a right decision by choosing Azure?
2) Being a Linux user, will I have any difficulty in gaining Azure knowledge
3) I understand that Azure provides Azure CLI (bash shell). Despite that, is it required for me to gain knowledge on power shell?
4) How easy for Azure professions to switch to AWS or GCP?

Also, as market share of Google Cloud platform showing considerable growth with time, and as there is not much expertise available, can oneself make more valuable by preparing for GCP certifications?

The new president of Google cloud, Thomas Kurian in one of his interviews was talking about the efforts being made to get major accounts to GCP and how AI, ML can be used in their advantage to deliver effective solutions. So, keeping that in mind, should I switch to GCP?

Thank you.
