Azure playground for certifications path
The Azure notes on this site are organised as a study path rather than a single guide, because the certifications address different audiences. - The [AZ-204 series](/azure/204/1-introduction.html) targets the developer exam, Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure. It works through compute, storage, security, troubleshooting and monitoring, and how an application connects to and consumes Azure services. - The [AZ-900 notes](/azure/900/1-introduction-az-900-overview.html) cover the fundamentals exam, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, starting from the cloud concepts the exam expects you to define. - The AZ-104 overview covers the administrator path. Each page follows the same shape. It states what the exam expects, names the services involved, and lists the exercises worth doing before you book the slot. These are working notes, so they keep the parts that were genuinely confusing rather than only the parts that fit neatly into a summary. Start with the overview for the exam you are targeting, then work through the topic pages in order. Renewing an existing certification is a different exercise from passing it the first time, so the renewal notes sit apart from the study path.
