Hi Fabric Community! 👋
I’ve been grinding for the AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator exam and wanted to share my journey—plus ask for your tips! As someone transitioning from data analysis to cloud roles, I’ve found AZ-104’s mix of identity management, networking, and resource monitoring both challenging and rewarding. But here’s my dilemma: How do you balance theory (study guides) with hands-on labs without burning out?
My Approach So Far:
Practice Tests as Reality Checks: I’ve been using platforms like Microsoft Learn and free practice assessments to identify gaps. But let’s be real—time management during exams is brutal!
Labs Over Lectures: I’ve prioritized labs (shoutout to GitHub repos with structured exercises!) to simulate real-world scenarios like configuring Azure Storage firewalls or deploying VMs.
Community Wisdom: This forum’s threads on DP-600 prep inspired me to join study groups. Anyone here forming AZ-104 accountability squads?
A Resource That Saved Me:
While prepping, I stumbled on Dumpsspot—a site with condensed study notes, practice test breakdowns, and DAX/PowerShell cheat sheets. Their free AZ-104 guides helped me tackle tricky topics like Azure Policy and backup configurations.
Your Turn!
- What’s your #1 hack for retaining dense topics like RBAC or ARM templates?
- Any free/paid tools (besides Microsoft Learn) that boosted your prep?
- For certified admins: How has AZ-104 impacted your Fabric/data engineering workflows?
P.S: If you’re prepping for AZ-104, check out the “Monitoring and Backup” module in this GitHub repo—it’s gold for hands-on practice! 🔗
