I’ve been trying to catch up on the azure architecture lately using free learning material that Microsoft provides for the related az-300 exam: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-300 There is a lot to catch up on, since it’s definitely not my primary area of expertise, but now that I’m through about a quarter of that course, I can’t help… Read More »
