Azure Fundamentals Certified: Building My Cloud Foundation

June 19, 2024

🚀 Another milestone unlocked! I’m proud to share that I’ve officially passed the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ‑900) certification exam — a key step in strengthening my cloud computing expertise.

This certification gave me a solid understanding of the core building blocks behind Microsoft Azure and modern cloud architecture. Here’s a snapshot of what I mastered along the way:

  • ☁️ Cloud Concepts: I learned the fundamentals of cloud computing, including shared responsibility, scalability, elasticity, and global distribution.
  • 🧩 Azure Core Services: I explored essential services like compute, storage, networking, and databases — and how they fit together in real-world solutions.
  • 🔐 Security & Compliance: I gained insight into Azure’s security model, identity management, governance tools, and compliance offerings.
  • 💸 Cost Management: I learned how Azure pricing works, how to estimate workloads, and how to optimize cloud spending.

Earning this certification strengthens my foundation as I continue advancing in cloud computing, automation, and healthcare IT. It also sets the stage for deeper Azure learning — from identity and security to infrastructure automation and cloud-native architecture.

Next up: diving into more advanced Azure certifications and integrating cloud services into my homelab and professional workflows.
