A clear and detailed Azure 104 course. The modules on identity, governance, virtual networking, storage and virtual machines helped me understand Azure administration in a structured way.
Isla Montgomery
Well-organised and easy to follow. I found the sections on serverless computing, data protection and Azure monitoring especially useful for building confidence in cloud support tasks.
