- [Instructor] I'm sure you know this, but for the record, let me just put it out there. AZ-900 is the code for the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam. Before you give the exam or even start preparing for it, there are crucial things you need to know. Let me explain what they are. It's a human tendency to resist change. The unpredictability of the change makes us a little uncomfortable, and that's natural. The same sentiments are triggered when you go tell a person, "Hey, there's this new thing called the Cloud. You should totally jump on board." Microsoft's intention with this exam is to make you comfortable with this change so you can embrace the Cloud with confidence. The AZ-900 exam is designed to address four of the most basic concerns anyone can have. That is, what exactly is the Cloud? What services does it offer to start with? What about its security? And how easy or difficult it is to manage the Cloud? If you look at the official AZ-900 exam curriculum, you'll see it perfectly aligns with answers to these four questions. The exam curriculum is sectioned into three parts. First is Describe Cloud Concepts, which weighs around 25 to 30% of the exam. This is designed to ensure you understand exactly what the Cloud is. The second part is Describe Azure Architecture and Services. It weighs a good 35 to 40% of the exam. This is designed to ensure you understand what services and security Azure has to offer. And the third part is Azure Management and Governance. Weighs around 30 to 35% of the exam. This is designed to ensure you understand the manageability aspect of Azure. It is very important to keep in mind that AZ-900 is designed to introduce new learners to Microsoft Azure. It is not intended to make you a super pro max Cloud ninja. Nevertheless, it's certainly going to make you comfortable with Azure and be an excellent first step towards a career as a Cloud professional. In this course, which is the first in the learning path for AZ-900 on LinkedIn Learning, we'll cover the Cloud Concepts part of the exam.
