Recently I took the AZ-900 MSFT Azure Fundamentals Exam. Here is a list of resources that I took to pass the exam in a week. If you want to get certified in Microsoft Azure Fundamentals then all you need to do is focus on a few things to make the journey helpful.
The first thing you should do is look at the criteria under skills measured. You are marked on the following:
- Describe cloud concepts (20-25%)
- Describe core Azure services (15-20%)
- Describe core solutions and management tools on Azure (10-15%)
- Describe general security and network security features (10-15%)
- Describe identity, governance, privacy, and compliance features (20-25%)

The Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Session is a two-day introductory course where you will learn about cloud computing concepts, models and services, covering topics such as public, private and hybrid cloud, as well as infrastructure as a service, platform as a service and software as a service.
During this training event, you will explore how to:

To pass the MSFT AZ-900 exam, you will need resources that will help you in clearing the exam. There are a lot of resources online and it depends on what kind of learner you are. The recommended pathway for MSFT is through the MSFT Learn portal which has mainly documentation. If you are visual learner, this may not be the best resource for you.
Here are a list of resources that helped me prepare for the exam:
