  • Place regions, availability zones, resource groups, subscriptions and management groups
  • Name and compare the compute, networking and storage services of Azure

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 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.
