Azure certifications give you an in-depth knowledge about the Azure platform, so you can become an expert in it. As you know, Azure is one of the best cloud computing platforms available today, so knowing more about this platform can open up a world of opportunities for you.
You may wonder why you need a certification in the first place? Isn’t deep knowledge that you can learn by yourself good enough?
The answer is an overwhelming no for many reasons. Firstly, certifications tell the world you’re an expert in Azure. Imagine you’re walking into a CEO’s room to convince him of your knowledge. Though you’ll have to answer your questions and show your profound knowledge in the subject, a certification can help you start off on a positive note. It creates an impression that you’re well-versed in Azure and this mindset will reflect in the way your interview is conducted or your chances for landing the job you’ve always wanted.
Besides telling the world that you’re an expert, it makes you a more confident person. The materials you’ve learned tend to come from authentic sources, so at the end of the course, you can rest assured that you’re truly an expert in this field.
Now that we’ve talked about the need for certifications, let’s look at some of the choices you have. In this piece, we’ll talk about some of the lesser-known certifications that teach you everything about Azure and at the same time, gives a great value for your money.
Microsoft Azure fundamentals
This course talks about the basics of cloud computing and how it fits well into the Azure platform. This is the perfect course for anyone starting off with cloud computing.
Through this course, you’ll learn about virtual machines, SQL databases, web apps, and other relevant technologies. This course is recommended for more advanced courses like MCSA: cloud platform certification.
Cloud data science with Azure machine learning
This is an interesting course that delves deep into Azure machine learning, how it works, how you can use it and more. This is a relatively recent course that’s based on Microsoft’s Ignite conference where Microsoft introduced a slew of machine learning capabilities for Azure, and this course covers them all for you.
Configuring and operating a hybrid cloud with Microsoft Azure stack
Microsoft has introduced something called Azure Stack that allows developers to run mirror images of Azure in their own premises. To help everyone understand how you can work on this extension, Microsoft has also designed this course. It is most ideal for cloud architects, DevOps and service administrators who would be using Azure stack to provide cloud services.
Linux on Azure
Linus and Microsoft have finally found common ground. Surprising, more than 20 percent of Azure are Linux, so it makes sense to have a course dedicated for this operating system.
Each of these courses give you a new insight into how Azure works. Let us know which look more promising to you in our comments section.
