Exam Ref AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals

It is surprisingly well written, informative and engaging. The author goes deep in a areas such as building an ML model using Machine Learning Studio. It's a great confidence builder, but more info than needed to pass the AZ-900. I'd recommend investing the $30 -42 for this book along with a few test question sample dumps and online training. I invested 2 weeks, this book + Udemy online trainings and passed on the first attempt.

The book, I believe, is a good start to learning the basics of Azure. I'm almost half way through the book but noticing errors/inaccuracies. For example, on page 9 it references a SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS pyramid diagram, in that order, but a few pages later it references it in the wrong order. The subject is comparing these three different services with which one has more control to less control. I wrote in the correct order directly in the book. Another page references a diagram number that isn't in the book. It's on page 42 (chapter 2), if anyone is interested. Figure 10-10 doesn't exist, I assumed the book is referencing diagram 2-10. The book only has 4 chapters so it doesn't make sense to reference Figure 10-10. The first exercise in the book has you creating a VM using Ubuntu Server. It skips a couple of steps, which turn out to be necessary to complete the creation of the VM. You must choose the size that you want to use for the VM, that section isn't covered at all and if you try to create the VM it will fail validation because a size wasn't chosen during the configuration.

I read this book and did the Microsoft learn course. That was enough for me to pass.

I have been working in IT for 20 years and have tons of cloud training. I saw a few diagrams that were 100% wrong. The book takes a 180 turn into machine learning labs which has absolutely nothing to do with the test. This book alone won’t be enough to pass the AZ-900 test, but it’s a start to learning the basics of Azure.

It’s almost certainly overkill for the AZ900 fundamentals exam. It has a few mistakes (see picture for example) so if you’re new to cloud concepts definitely do the online course, that Microsoft offers for the 900, first. Overall very helpful, but contains some critical errors.

Helped me pass the certification exam. Helped me organize and manage my self directed quest for AZ-900 certification. Some of the sections are a bit too detailed. But 5 minutes into the exam, i was breezing through it, and i aced it with a lot of points and time to spare.

Fantastic resource! Really covers everything you need to know.

You just need to have some practical knowledge of AZ, but this book does a good job prepping you

I am halfway through reading this book. I cant really comment on how good the text is as its my first time at reading through it and I am new to the topic. But what i will say is that the diagrams are quite blurred when i am looking at them on my PC screen (using Kindle for PC). This is quite irritating. Its not really possible to read the text in the diagrams. The diagrams that I am talking about are generally screenshots of the Azure GUI.Of course it will be possible for me to see this content on videos (youtube, LlinkedIN ). This is what I intend to do next as I gradually prepare for the exam (and also using the free trial version of Azure). But it would have been better if the ebook had been created to that the diagrams were more clear (readable)Also as other people have noted there are many instances of poor grammar

There are some serious errors with this book, as someone else previously mentioned - just the IaaS diagram for a start. For an exam book it’s just not good enough. Loads of grammatical errors too. It all starts to make you doubt what you are reading and before you know it you are double checking things which you aren’t sure of.Someone mentioned the images are blurry but on my iPad (Kindle app) they were absolutely fine.Probably a new edition addressing the errors will be better than this one, though I raised a bundle of errata with the publisher but don’t see any listed... so don’t expect it to be anytime soon!

Suprising amount of spelling mistakes, otherwise well written and good content

Excellent book, you will need to read every page to pass but pass I did on the 2nd attempt.

Great book that explains complex topics in an easily understandable fashion.

L'ho trovato molto valido per avere una visione d'insieme di tutti gli argomenti riguardanti la certificazione.La lettura è molto fluida e corredata anche da buoni esempi reali.A breve proverò ad affrontare l'esame... sono fiducioso dopo aver letto questo libro.

It provides a great introduction to cloud computing and main Microsoft cloud services.

Excellent Book. Passed the exam on the first attempt. Contains great details about the topics.

Generally speaking a good resource and does address the exam’s criteria so will prepare test takers.I just wish that the book assisted me in setting up a lab to complete excercise.However well worth it.

Valido testo per la preparazione della certificazione AZ-900. Copre tutto il programma dell'esame. Buon rapporto qualita'/prezzo.

J'ai réussi mon exam grace a ce livre

It is an excellent structured book that will help you with your preparation towards AZ900 certification. Strongly recommended!

Great product! Excellent study edition to the az 900 exam
