Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Intermediate 5 hours English
Our recommendation
A Pluralsight course introducing cloud computing through Microsoft Azure — compute resources, storage options and SQL data services. Across roughly five hours it builds a working understanding of how to deploy and use Azure. A solid platform orientation, though note it is Pluralsight's own course, distinct from Microsoft's AZ-900 certification path.
