Prepare for the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) certification with this fully refreshed 2026 edition. This course covers every exam domain with hands-on Azure portal labs, real business scenarios, and two full-length practice tests matching the actual exam format. Updated for the January 14, 2026 exam refresh, you'll master the new Azure AI services content (Azure OpenAI, Copilot, responsible AI) and expanded governance topics that surprise candidates using older materials.
You'll explore cloud concepts, Azure architecture, compute services, networking, storage, identity, cost management, governance tools, and monitoring - all explained for non-technical audiences. Every chapter includes portal-based labs you can complete with a free Azure account: configure resource groups with tags, explore the pricing calculator, review Azure Advisor recommendations, and navigate Microsoft Entra ID.
Instructor Aseem Mankotia guides you through classic exam traps like region pairs vs availability zones, IaaS/PaaS/SaaS boundaries, and when to use Azure Policy vs RBAC vs resource locks. The final chapter delivers a complete exam simulation with time-management strategies for the 40-60 question format. Perfect for business stakeholders, career changers, and anyone validating foundational Azure knowledge with no prerequisites required.
AI content disclosure: This course was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. Lecture narration is AI-voice generated, and lecture scripts, slides, and practice questions were drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed and curated by the instructor for technical accuracy and alignment with the official AZ-900 exam guide.
