Centralized details: Certification https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-900

• Download the skills outline

• Go through the 3 Learning Paths:

1. Describe Cloud Concepts
2. Describe Azure Architecture and Services
3. Describe Azure management and governance

Next, go through each Learning Path and create a markdown file for each that includes every learn module.

• Summarize

Sample repo structure:

.
├── 1-cloud-concepts.md
├── 2-architecture-and-services.md
├── 3-management-and-governance.md
└── README.md

1. Create a repository and add the markdown files, one for each section
2. Start summarizing, adding the Learning Path and Learning Module for each section
3. Capture services, definitions, and any key differentiators

Sample section:

## Main topic

### Service Name

Definition: Some definition

Features:

* Feature 1
* Feature 2

Find key differences for similar services. For example, IoT Hub vs. IoT Central:

IoT Hub: More control, less managed (no dashboard). Telemetry analysis.

IoT Central: Less control, more managed (dashboard included). Telemetry analysis.
