azure考试_我如何通过AZ-900 Microsoft Azure基础考试

azure考试

You've probably heard about Amazon Web Services and the #AWSCertified challenge. But did you know that Microsoft is also a cloud provider and offers professional certifications as well?

您可能已经听说过Amazon Web Services和#AWSCertified挑战。 但是您知道微软也是云提供商，并且还提供专业认证吗？

After passing 3 AWS certifications, I wanted to learn new things and start with another cloud provider: Azure.

通过3项AWS认证后 ，我想学习新知识，并从另一个云提供商开始：Azure。

My objectives were to understand how Azure works and also pass a new certification. I decided to take the first exam, AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, to give myself a smooth transition from AWS to Azure.

我的目标是了解Azure的工作原理并通过新的认证。 我决定参加第一项考试AZ-900：Microsoft Azure基础知识，以使自己从AWS顺利过渡到Azure。

In this post, I'm going to explain the Azure certifications as well as how to become Microsoft Certified.

在本文中，我将解释Azure认证以及如何获得Microsoft认证。

Let's begin.

如果您熟悉AWS考试，则可能已经注意到解决方案架构师角色没有助理级别。 我在此表中总结了AWS和Azure之间的考试等效性：

专注于AZ-900：Microsoft Azure基础知识 (Focus on AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals)

Microsoft says the objective of this exam is to demonstrate foundational level knowledge of cloud services and how those services are provided with Azure.

如果您通常看安德鲁·布朗(Andrew Brown)的课程，那么Microsoft Learn将使您失望。 这些模块是纯文本格式，没有任何视频。 准备阅读并做笔记！

I strongly recommend that you:

我强烈建议您：

1. Create a free account

   创建一个免费帐户

2. Read Azure services overview
   阅读Azure服务概述
3. Practice on your own with Azure quickstarts
   使用Azure快速入门自行练习
4. Monitor your progress with the skills outline
   通过技能概述监控您的进度
5. Take practice exams
   参加实践考试

Microsoft explains what you need to know for each service in the documentation. The explanations include, amongst others, a service overview and quickstarts you can experiment to have a better understanding.

Microsoft在文档中解释了您需要了解的每种服务。 其中的解释包括服务概述和快速入门，您可以尝试一下以获得更好的理解。

Note: using the Azure portal is enough to practice because it's not an in-depth exam.

注意：使用Azure门户足以进行练习，因为它不是深入的考试。

All these steps were enough to let me pass the AZ-900

所有这些步骤足以让我通过AZ-900

This exam is not difficult to pass! It takes time and practice to prepare but nothing impossible. The thing is to find your learning routine and progress by baby steps.

这项考试不难通过！ 准备需要时间和练习，但是没有什么不可能的。 关键是找到您的学习常规并逐步进行学习。

与AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner考试的差异 (Differences from the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam)

You shouldn't underestimate how much preparation you'll need just because you have already passed the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam.

您不应该仅仅因为您已经通过了AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner考试而低估了需要做的准备工作。

You have to start from the beginning because 80% of the exam validates the Azure ecosystem, which is different from AWS.

您必须从头开始，因为80％的考试会验证Azure生态系统，这与AWS不同。

I don't want you to make the same mistake I made. Don't compare each new service you learn with AWS. It will confuse you more than anything else. Some Azure services don't have their equivalent in AWS and vice versa.

我不要你犯同样的错误。 不要将您通过AWS学习的每项新服务进行比较。 它会让您更加困惑。 某些Azure服务在AWS中没有等效功能，反之亦然。

Forget about AWS (while you're studying) to learn Azure!

忘了AWS(在学习时)以学习Azure！
