Hands-on consolidation

Put it into practice

Sketch a small business application. Choose where its files, application and identities belong, and explain what the customer still manages.

Ready to move on when…

You can justify a service choice and explain its responsibilities and costs without relying on memorized product names.

Use a dedicated lab and synthetic data, never an employer's production environment. Check licensing and costs before provisioning; budget alerts do not stop spending. Remove resources when finished.

Review & exam planning

Find gaps with our AZ-900 test

Try the test, explain each missed answer and return to the corresponding learning topic. Repeat the practical task where needed. A practice score is feedback, not proof of certification readiness.
