Azure Fundamentals

Beginner 10 hours English Verified CertificateFREE

About this course

Azure Fundamentals covers the core concepts behind Microsoft's AZ-900 certification — cloud concepts, core Azure services, security, and pricing — taught by Noah Gift of Pragmatic AI Labs rather than Microsoft directly. That's a meaningful difference: it's a leaner, more exam-focused take than Microsoft's own longer learning paths.

The honest take: good if you want a faster route to exam readiness; if you want Microsoft's own official learning path with more hands-on labs, that's a different (longer) route to the same certification.

What you'll learn

Explain core Azure cloud concepts
Identify core Azure services and use cases
Understand Azure pricing and support models
Describe Azure security and compliance basics
Prepare specifically for the AZ-900 exam
