This certification which has been co-created with Microsoft allows you to start from the beginning. You will master the basics concepts of cloud computing, models, public/private, and hybrid cloud, whilst diving into Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-as-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Once you have a good foundational understanding of Azure and its architectural components and services, such as computing, networking, and storage, you will then move on to learning about tools used to secure, govern, and administer Azure.
You will learn all of this without having to code anything.
Once you have a good understanding of everything about Azure and have it all under your belt, your next step will be to complete the AZ-900 certification – for which you can get 50% off with DataCamp!
And just like that – you’re certified!
