Resources I Used:

Udemy:

• Course:

• Practice Tests:

Microsoft Learn:
Microsoft offers its own platform for learning the material for the AZ-900 exam. It includes practice tests, study materials, and a detailed study guide to help you prepare.

Azure Free Subscription:
Using the free tier of Azure allows you to gain hands-on experience with the platform. (Very underrated.)

By using these resources and dedicating time to study, I passed the AZ-900 exam. I highly recommend combining hands-on experience with theoretical knowledge to get the best results.

Good luck to everyone preparing for the exam!
