Hello amazing people 👋
Hope you all are safe out there. I recently sat my AZ-104 exam and glad to share that I passed 🥳.
I took around 4 weeks to prepare for the exam and I am gonna be honest, I was not that confident about it.
I have sat some fundamental certification for Azure but didn't had much practical experience, so doing some hands-on labs was the way to go. Here is a project that I did, which helped for the preparation, along with some Microsoft Azure labs:

- To preview this course in a self-paced format, see our interactive lab simulations. You may find slight differences between the interactive simulations and the hosted labs, but the core concepts and ideas being demonstrated are the same.
Security Issue - February 2022
Some Azure training labs instruct the student to use a specific user name and password. Bad actors constantly scan virtual machines and try to log in using those credentials Once they login the machines can be used for crypto-mining or other non-classroom activities.
Remediation: Students should be instructed to use a password of their own choosing. Students should not use any password…
Also, I realized that I sat 11 certification exams in the last 12 months
I just realized that I sat 11 certifications in the last 12 months😲

I know a lot of these are fundamentals and associate level, but I am progressing so, this year my focus is on some expert/pro certifications.
Here is my AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Exam Study Guide
The high-level view of the skills measured in the exam according to Microsoft:
Candidates for this exam should have subject matter expertise implementing, managing, and monitoring an organization’s Microsoft Azure environment.
A candidate for this exam should have at least six months of hands-on experience administering Azure, along with a strong understanding of core Azure services, Azure workloads, security, and governance. In addition, this role should have experience using PowerShell, Azure CLI, Azure portal, and Azure Resource Manager templates.
- Manage Azure identities and governance (15-20%)
- Implement and manage storage (15-20%)
- Deploy and manage Azure compute resources (20-25%)
- Configure and manage virtual networking (25-30%)

The experience:
To be honest, I found the exam a bit difficult compared to AWS Associate level exams, but that could be due to the fact that I have been working in AWS for almost 2 years and that is not the case with Azure. I am still glad that I passed. Looking forward towards the AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert.
