Passed on my first try 800/1000. Passing score: 700.
The Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Certification Exam is aimed at non-technical folks, including management leaders, financial auditors, sales reps, etc. Some IT folks opt to skip this as it is not a pre-requisite for later technical exams. I took it as a Director for Cloud Center of Excellence suggested I do.
This is a relatively straightforward exam. It seems daunting at first but once you learn the Microsoft lingo, it’s easy as pie. I refer to it as a word association exam. A lot of questions just test your knowledge of the Microsoft lingo.
The takeaway I got from having taken the course and gone through some practice exams, is that Microsoft really wants us to move away from servers and VMs, and towards serverless computing. So if there’s a question asking which is best? And your options are on prem server, hosted server, cloud VM, container, or Azure Functions (serverless computing), pick Azure Functions even though we all know the correct answer is it depends. (There are other questions which will test your individual knowledge of the definitions of servers, cloud VM, container, Azure Functions, etc. but the general recommendation is to run serverless to save cost while maintaining uptime performance given the absence of details/customer requirements.)
To pass this exam, I took a 2 day course AZ900 Azure Fundamentals, along with practice exam from examtopics.com. Links where possible are below.
However I actually recommend the 6 part self study over any instructor led course: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/azure-fundamentals/
