Course Information
-----
This course is up-to-date with the latest (January 22 2024) AZ-305 exam.
-----
The Microsoft Certified Azure Architect exam is truly comprehensive. This course teaches you how to design and build solutions from networking to microservices, and migrations to monitoring.
Throughout this course I'm confident you'll gain all the knowledge and skills needed to pass the AZ-305 exam. But more importantly, I've designed the content to help you understand important design considerations that matter in the real-world. We'll use case studies to practice solutions architecture using current state, and various technical/functional requirements. And you'll be able to use click-to-deploy resources to setup your own lab environment and gain hands-on skills.
