Recently I started preparing for the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification exam from Microsoft with an aim to give the exam before the year 2020 ends.

AZ-900 is the first exam to be taken from the Azure certifications roadmap as given below. There are other exams as well, but I am looking to take the below developer roadmap.

3. AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Original Practice Tests by Scott Duffy

How I prepared for the certification:

• 20-30 minutes of daily learning for 30 days.

• Practice tests were very helpful in testing the learning & mocking an exam scenario which helps to build confidence before the actual exam. So always try to give some practice tests.

• If you are already aware of basic cloud computing concepts, then try to give the practice tests first, just to assess your knowledge.

Currently if you register for the Microsoft Virtual Training Days & attend the event then you can get a shot at the Azure Fundamentals certification free of cost.
