From Azure foundations to practical cloud engineering. A place to track the certifications, explore the next steps, and turn knowledge into hands-on skills.
Explore the roadmapThe goal: more confidence in everyday work.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
A foundation across Azure concepts, administration, networking, and solution design.
Cloud concepts, Azure services, management, and governance.
Credential overview (opens in a new tab)Managing Azure identity, compute, storage, networks, and monitoring.
Credential overview (opens in a new tab)Cloud connectivity, network design, routing, and network protection.
Credential overview (opens in a new tab)Designing infrastructure, governance, resilience, and continuity.
Credential overview (opens in a new tab)02 / WHAT COMES NEXT
The proposed route starts with infrastructure as code, then moves into repeatable delivery and operations.
INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE
Build confidence with configuration, modules, state, dependencies, and reviewing changes before they happen.
Explore the certification (opens in a new tab)AUTOMATION & DELIVERY
Connect infrastructure skills with source control, pipelines, release practices, and operational feedback.
Explore the certification (opens in a new tab)A learning sequence, not a formal prerequisite chain. Practical projects come with each step.
Explore Entra identities, authentication, access management, and governance.
Identity and Access Administrator (opens in a new tab)Explore security controls across cloud, hybrid, and AI-enabled environments.
Cloud and AI Security Engineer (opens in a new tab)A later design-focused option after a qualifying identity or security associate credential.
Cybersecurity Architect (opens in a new tab)A later option after building practical Linux, container, and Kubernetes experience.
Kubernetes Administrator (opens in a new tab)03 / MAKE IT PRACTICAL
More fluency in everyday operations. More confidence when a project needs something new.
Find commands naturally. Understand subscription context, discover resources, and shape useful output.
Try the command guideWrite reusable configuration. Understand state, resource relationships, modules, and plan review.
Build → review → explainUnderstand Dockerfiles, images, containers, ports, and how to troubleshoot a small application.
From files to a running containerMake changes reviewable and repeatable. Learn branches, pull requests, validation, and delivery stages.
A clear path from change to releaseTurn networking knowledge into useful designs: routing, private connectivity, DNS, and clear diagrams.
Follow the traffic, explain the decisionsUnderstand workload identities, scoped access, credential handling, and operational visibility.
Access with a clear purposeA SMALL FIELD GUIDE
Azure CLI usually starts with a command group, then an action. list discovers a collection; show inspects an item. Help is part of the workflow.
Check which subscription is selected, then see the available subscriptions.
az account show --output table
az account list --output tableFind resources in a specific resource group. Replace the placeholder with its name.
az resource list --resource-group "<resource-group>" --output tableList Static Web Apps in the currently selected subscription.
az staticwebapp list --output tableWalk through help from a command group to a specific action.
az account --help
