<p>Next step on my Cloud Journey completed by passing the AZ-104 Exam, it was a tough one but still fair and
a great basis to build further Azure knowledge on top. It's also a mandatory pre-requirement to
become a Azure Solution Architect, which is on my bucket list for end of August / begin of September.</p>
<p>Similar as for <a class="reference external" href="https://dominik.wombacher.cc/posts/microsoft-certified-azure-fundamentals.html">AZ-900</a>,
there are a lot of great and mostly even free resources out their to prepare for AZ-104, my favorites:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/exams/az-104">Microsoft Learning, AZ-104 Exam Overview</a>,
Scroll down to <em>"Items in this collection"</em> to access the related learning paths.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlVtbbG169nGlGPWs9xaLKT1KfwqREHbs">John Savill's Technical Training, AZ-104 Certification Course</a></li>
</ul>
<p>And if your Employer is part of the <a class="reference external" href="https://esi.microsoft.com">Microsoft Enterprise Skills Initiative</a>,
you can book a 4-days online course, delivered by Microsoft, for free and don't forget to use the offered
Practice Exams as final step before taking the actual exam.</p>
<p>It's also important to get some Hands-On experience if you not already working with Azure on a regular basis,
otherwise it's hard to pass questions about CLI or PowerShell commands, necessary steps and order that need to
be performed to achieve a specific result or fill in blanks in ARM Templates and other interesting type of questions.</p>
<p>The Microsoft Course includes access to a Lab Environment, all labs are published on
<a class="reference external" href="https://microsoftlearning.github.io/AZ-104-MicrosoftAzureAdministrator/">Github</a> if you wanna run
them in your own Azure Subscription.</p>
<p>And last but not least, learn about Azure Network as much as you can, it's a large part of the Exam
and getting those Questions right will make the difference between passing and failing.</p>
<p><strong>Summary</strong>: Earning Azure Administrator Associate certification validates the skills and knowledge to implement,
manage, and monitor an organization’s Microsoft Azure environment. Candidates have a deep understanding of each implementing,
managing, and monitoring identity, governance, storage, compute, and virtual networks in a cloud environment, plus provision,
size, monitor, and adjust resources, when needed.</p>
