Certainly, the Azure Fundamentals&nbsp;exam&nbsp;is an opportunity to prove knowledge of cloud concepts, so you must keep track of the latest changes. The first Azure certification exam is Microsoft AZ 900 and to earn this, you must first understand the fundamental aspects and benefits of Microsoft&#8217;s Cloud-like services, such as how subscriptions work, what support plans are available, the difference between Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, and Software as a Service, and which services you would use when<em>.

Candidates should be able to describe Azure architectural components as well as Azure services like compute, networking, and storage. Candidates should also be able to describe the features and tools used to secure, govern, and administer Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exam is 60 minutes long and does not include any simulated lab scenarios. Rather, it consists of multiple-choice questions with one or more correct answers, as well as some multi-part questions. This includes one main postulation and a few multiple-choice questions about the same scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Let us now jump to the main point of the article &#8211;

This includes exam registration, links to AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, information on AZ-900 exam modules, prerequisites, exam study groups, links to exam policies and exam structure, and so on. Furthermore, this is one of the few places where you&#8217;ll find all of the important updates regarding the exam schedule, pricing changes, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Microsoft Documentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t get this page mixed up with Microsoft&#8217;s Learning portal. Because each of these sections has its learning page. You can easily find the page dedicated to Azure Fundamentals in <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Azure Documentation<\/a>. You can also learn about concepts like Agility, Disaster Recovery, Elasticity, Fault Tolerance, High Availability, and Scalability, which are critical in any cloud ecosystem. As a result, you&#8217;ll learn how to compare and contrast basic Azure cloud migration steps from this point forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Forums &amp; Study Groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be aware of the Azure role-based exam study groups and forums available in the Microsoft Learning portal. Unfortunately, this facility is not available for the AZ-900 exam. There are, however, other popular forums for the same. As a result, you can leave your queries and questions there and answer those that you are familiar with. Because many experienced and knowledgeable people can easily answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Evaluate yourself with Practice Test<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample tests are always helpful in preparing for any exam you&#8217;re about to take. Even though there are no sample tests available on Microsoft&#8217;s official website; however, for the AZ-900, there are numerous practice tests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/microsoft-azure-fundamentals-az-900-free-practice-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">available at TestPrepTraining.ai.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/microsoft-azure-fundamentals-az-900-free-practice-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AZ-900-Exam-Updates-May-2022-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AZ-900-Exam-Updates-May-2022-1.png 961w, https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AZ-900-Exam-Updates-May-2022-1-300x47.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all are going to see updates in the English language version of the AZ-900 exam&nbsp;on&nbsp;May&nbsp;5,&nbsp;2022.
