AZ-900 compact: Azure fundamentals in German

Who it is for

Final project: the Kladde
What the Kladde can do after this course
No project: this course is an overview and does not build on the Kladde.
At the end you can name and place the building blocks of Azure. K3, module 3.1, goes deeper with exercises of its own.
Certifications
An offer, never a requirement: these Microsoft exams fit this stage. You take them at Microsoft; we are not a Microsoft training partner.
The entry point to the Azure certifications.
The course follows the topics Microsoft lists for exam AZ-900 (in the version of its skills list we read when writing) and replaces neither Microsoft's material nor exam preparation. You take the exam with Microsoft; registration, price and dates are there.
