AZ-900 Study Guide: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals

This AZ-900 Study Guide has been updated with the January 25, 2022 exam objectives

The AZ-900 exam is the only exam needed to get the Azure Fundamentals certification, and an optional exam in all the other Azure Paths. This exam is designed for candidates looking to demonstrate foundational level knowledge of cloud services and how those services are provided with Microsoft Azure. The exam is intended for candidates with non-technical backgrounds, such as those involved in selling or purchasing cloud-based solutions and services or who have some involvement with cloud-based solutions and services, as well as those with a technical background who have a need to validate their foundational level knowledge around cloud services.

In this AZ-900 Study Guide, I will share both free and paid options, whether books, video training or simply links to articles and blog posts. I will not share any dumps as those are against the Microsoft Terms of Service, and by using dumps, we decrease the value of our certifications.

AZ-900 Books

Many people still prefer books to study, and this is why Microsoft still does the Exam Ref series! Books are sometimes a bit late on the exam objectives – so always check when the book was published and if any major changes have been made to the objectives.

AZ-900 Study Guide Exam Ref

Exam Ref AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Prepare for Microsoft Exam AZ-900―Demonstrate your real-world knowledge of cloud services and how they can be provided with Microsoft Azure, including high-level concepts that apply throughout Azure, and key concepts specific to individual services. Designed for professionals in non-technical or technical roles, the Exam Ref series focuses on the critical thinking and decision-making acumen needed for success at the Microsoft Certified Fundamentals level.


AZ-900 Video Training

There are many video training providers out there, both free and paid. Paid options such as Pluralsight usually go more in depth and explain the content, and are also peer reviewed to ensure quality. As for YouTube and Udemy the quality will depend on the individual creating the video, so make sure to check the reviews.

    Hi there,

    Your ,suggested resource for Microsoft Azure Fundamentals in Pluralsight is very outdated. The instructors materials were release on March of 2010 and so much has change in Azure Fundamentals since.

    Hello Mansoor,

    I think this is when Microsoft was supposed to update the Objectives on September 15th but it’s been delayed to November now.

    I scheduled the AZ-900 Exam for November 5th, but now I don’t understand if it will be based on a new syllabus.
    Do you have any info about the date on which the topics will change?
    Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!
