azure 教育认证
什么是Microsoft Azure？ (What is Microsoft Azure?)
Microsoft Azure is a cloud service provider. A cloud service provider (CSPs) is a technology company that offers multiple cloud services. Azure has listed over 600 cloud service offerings, from computing to storage to databases to machine learning.
Microsoft Azure是云服务提供商。 云服务提供商(CSP)是一家提供多种云服务的技术公司。 Azure已经列出了600多种云服务产品，从计算到存储再到数据库再到机器学习。
Azure is the second most popular cloud platform behind Amazon Web Services (AWS). Still, many long-lived or large tech companies are embracing both cloud platforms. This may be because Azure is able to compete on cost, niche cloud-offerings, easy integration, and developers' familiarity with Microsoft software.
Azure是仅次于Amazon Web Services(AWS)的第二受欢迎的云平台。 尽管如此，许多历史悠久或大型的科技公司仍在拥抱这两种云平台。 这可能是因为Azure能够在成本，利基云产品，易于集成以及开发人员对Microsoft软件的熟悉程度方面进行竞争。
Azure has three competitive advantages when compared with other cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud.
与AWS和Google Cloud等其他云平台相比，Azure具有三个竞争优势。
优势1：Azure和Microsoft在开发人员工具上进行了大量投资 (Advantage #1: Azure and Microsoft have invested heavily in Developer Tools)
Microsoft developed the most popular code editor to date, Visual Studio Code.
微软开发了迄今为止最受欢迎的代码编辑器Visual Studio Code。
They also acquired GitHub and ported its functionality directly into Azure.
他们还收购了GitHub，并将其功能直接移植到Azure中。
Microsoft also owns Minecraft, and has used it as a tool to onboard young developers to programming and cloud computing.
微软还拥有Minecraft，并将其用作吸引年轻开发人员进行编程和云计算的工具。
优势2：Microsoft Active Directory (Advantage #2: Microsoft Active Directory)
Many companies have invested in Active Directory to control access to software and workstations. Now, they can easily extend that to the Azure cloud and not have to learn a new tool for managing access.
许多公司已投资Active Directory来控制对软件和工作站的访问。 现在，他们可以轻松地将其扩展到Azure云，而不必学习用于管理访问的新工具。
When you want to sell software to large companies, a general requirement for purchase is to perform Single-Sign-On with Microsoft Active Directory, and Azure has the hometown advantage here.
当您要将软件出售给大型公司时，购买的一般要求是使用Microsoft Active Directory执行单点登录，而Azure在这里具有故乡优势。
优势3：机器学习和人工智能 (Advantage #3: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence)
I think AWS has a better offering for ML and AI, but Azure has done a better job making its offerings more palatable to tech companies.
我认为AWS为ML和AI提供了更好的产品，但是Azure做了更好的工作，使其产品对科技公司而言更加可口。
Azure divides their AI services into many small isolated services, and they have certifications for data-based roles at the Associate tier. This makes these roles feel more obtainable to aspiring developers.
Azure将其AI服务分为许多小型隔离服务，并且在助理层具有基于数据的角色的认证。 这使有抱负的开发人员更容易获得这些角色。
Azure基础认证 (The Azure Foundations Certification)
The Azure Foundations certification is the entry-level cloud certification for Mircosoft Azure. It is commonly referred to by its course code, the AZ-900.
Azure Foundations认证是Mircosoft Azure的入门级云认证。 通常以其课程代码AZ-900来指代。
The exam covers the following domains:
考试涵盖以下领域：
- Cloud Concepts 云概念
- Azure Core Services Azure核心服务
- Security, Privacy, Compliance and Trust 安全性，隐私权，合规性和信任
- Pricing and Support 定价与支持
The average study time – even for people who are new to cloud development – is only one week of study.
平均学习时间(即使对于云开发新手来说也是如此)仅需一周学习。
There is also some knowledge transfer if you have already earned the AWS Cloud Certified Practitioner (AWS's entry-level certification). But don't expect to pass the AZ-900 without studying.
如果您已经获得了AWS Cloud认证从业者(AWS的入门级认证)，则还需要进行一些知识转移。 但是不要指望未经学习就通过AZ-900。
Microsoft and Azure previously had Certifications that were service specific, but they have changed to role based Certifications (certifications based on job title).
Microsoft和Azure以前具有特定于服务的认证，但是它们已更改为基于角色的认证(基于职位的认证)。

您如何获得认证？ (How do you get the certification?)
You obtain certification by paying the exam fee, and sitting the exam at a test center partnered with Microsoft Azure.
您可以通过支付考试费，然后将考试参加与Microsoft Azure合作的考试中心来获得认证。
Microsoft Azure is partnered with Pearson Vue, a network of test centers around the world. Pearson Vue allows you to sit the exam in person or online. To sit the exam online, you need to ensure you have a quiet, clutter-free room and a working web-camera.
Microsoft Azure与Pearson Vue(全球测试中心网络)合作。 Pearson Vue允许您亲自或在线参加考试。 要在线参加考试，您需要确保您有一个安静，整洁的房间和一个可运行的网络摄像头。

Microsoft 在Pearsue Vue上有一个门户页面 ，您可以在此注册和预订考试。
The exam fee is $99 USD.
考试费用为$ 99美元 。
我可以简单地观看视频并通过考试吗？ (Can I simply watch the videos and pass the exam?)
For the entry-level certification, yes, it is possible to pass by just watching videos if you already have a technical background.
对于入门级认证，是的，如果您已经有技术背景，可以通过观看视频来通过。
For more difficult certification levels starting at the Associate level, it is necessary to use paid practice exams by third-party providers.
对于从助理级别开始的更困难的认证级别，有必要使用第三方提供商提供的有偿实践考试。
The exam has 40 to 60 questions with a timeline of 1 hour.

A passing grade is around 70%.
及格分数约为70％。
It is common for most people new to cloud development to score 40% on their first-practice exam attempt, 65% on their second attempt, and a passing 85% on their third attempt.
对于大多数刚接触云开发的人来说，第一次练习考试的分数达到40％，第二次考试的分数为65％，第三次考试的分数超过85％，这很常见。
I would say it's not necessary to score above 90%. If you are in the 75-85% range, you are ready to sit your exam.
我会说得分不超过90％是没有必要的。 如果您的考试分数在75-85％之间，则可以参加考试了。
If you are going to use paid practice exams, please consider using Exam Pro's practice exams since the funds will go directly goes toward helping me produce more free cloud courses.
如果您要使用付费练习考试，请考虑使用Exam Pro的练习考试，因为这笔资金将直接用于帮助我制作更多免费的云课程。
