WEBVTT
1
00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:14.280
Myles Brown: All right. Welcome, Good morning. It takes a couple minutes for everyone to get into the zoom call, so we'll give them a few minutes to get here.
2
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:23.730
Myles Brown: and we're expecting a very large group today. So we are running this very much Webinar style.
3
00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:30.860
Myles Brown: You see, the numbers are still growing, so we'll give it a minute or 2 before we get started.
4
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:34.920
Myles Brown: And
5
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.180
Myles Brown: okay.
6
00:00:40.510 --> 00:00:43.110
Myles Brown: right. well
7
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:47.670
Myles Brown: welcome. All this is a it's about a 2 h, Webinar.
8
00:00:47.680 --> 00:01:07.130
Myles Brown: that tarks going to present, and he'll talk a lot about the azure Admin cert the a. Z. 104, how best to prepare for it. Things like that. This is a a lot different than our regular classes. Our regular classes are usually, you know, somewhere between one and 4 days usually.
9
00:01:07.130 --> 00:01:24.390
Myles Brown: and there are a lot smaller groups like, say, you know, a dozen people, and we very much encourage two-way audio video in those in these sort of free events that exit certified puts on. We try and open them up to as many people as possible, and we have, you know, 300
10
00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:43.080
Myles Brown: plus almost 400 people registered for this. Now we usually don't get. We get about half that number of people attending, but everybody that registered will get a link later, probably in the day or 2 with the zoom recording of of the session, and and we should also be able to share
11
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:48.420
Myles Brown: a Pdf of these slides because tarks. Put a lot of really good resources.
12
00:01:48.420 --> 00:02:05.810
Myles Brown: you know, to help you study some. You know, a bunch of urls with sandbox environments where you can practice some things. So so there's some really valuable things in the slides that you're going to want to have those slides. So we're going to send you those and those hyperlinks should work in those.
13
00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:25.670
Myles Brown: But before we get started my name is Miles. I I sort of the i'm that Senior Cloud and Devops advisor at at exit certified. I I teach some cloud. I I don't do a lot of Microsoft, but that's why we have Tariq here today to to do the
14
00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:27.140
Myles Brown: to do the honors.
15
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:38.570
Myles Brown: But if you haven't heard of exit certified, we are the the go to a market that that's our training brand for tech data. It's a. Td. Cynics is our sort of
16
00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:46.530
Myles Brown: a parent company. But exit Certified's been around for about a little over 20 years, doing really just technical training.
17
00:02:46.540 --> 00:02:54.580
Myles Brown: and and the main part of what we do is certify technical training. So any of the big vendors like Microsoft
18
00:02:54.690 --> 00:03:11.270
Myles Brown: aws Google Oracle, Ibm. Vmware. You know if there's a a vendor of note that has authorized training. We we generally join that program and deliver those authorized training, and then we also have some other.
19
00:03:11.270 --> 00:03:30.160
Myles Brown: you know, open source technologies that we train on as well. So I maybe talk a little bit about that at the end. The other thing i'm gonna give you at the end of this session is is an unbelievable promo. So what we thought was this course we're not sure if people have already gone and taken an instructor led training class.
20
00:03:30.160 --> 00:03:46.240
Myles Brown: for as your administration to get ready for this course for this cert. But if you haven't, we've got really good deal it. It's more than 40% off plus a free exam voucher and a practice exam. You know. It's a very good deal, so i'll give you those details at the end of the session.
21
00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:57.210
Myles Brown: I'm. I'm also gonna ask you to do a quick little survey at the end. But before we get to that, you know. Tarks got a lot to talk about, so I I should probably introduce him.
22
00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:07.540
Myles Brown: Tark's been, you know, in in it for a very long time. Oh, well, over 2 decades of of technology training.
23
00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:22.420
Myles Brown: and he's taught and consulted for a wide variety of organizations throughout the Us. He's done a lot of traditional classroom training and virtual training, you know, at exit certified. We do both. We have the training centers across North America.
24
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:40.270
Myles Brown: People are a little slow to get back to in-person training. We do some on-site as well. If you've got a group of people sometimes easier to send the the the instructor to you than than the other way around. But we do a lot of virtual training, and mostly we use zoom as our the basis of our virtual training.
25
00:04:40.270 --> 00:04:51.680
Myles Brown: but we've been doing it for a long time, You know. We we were probably about 60% virtual before the pandemic, and then we kind of flipped t0 100. And now we're slowly getting back into classroom training.
26
00:04:51.800 --> 00:05:01.480
Myles Brown: But Tark has a whole bunch of certifications. You can see some on the screen right now. He's got, you know, some desktop ones, some server ones, and of course cloud
27
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.470
Myles Brown: so he is. He is our azure expert.
28
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:22.860
Myles Brown: and he's put together some slides here today to really help you get ready, you know, to understand. What does that easy? 104 Exam. Look like how to best prepare for it, and i'm sure he'll go through some practice exam questions and and some other stuff, so maybe talk you can. You can take it away.
29
00:05:23.990 --> 00:05:25.560
Tarik Rukab: Thank you, Miles.
30
00:05:25.590 --> 00:05:35.820
Tarik Rukab: Good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us today, and, as Miles mentioned, we have a really solid package here for you, and we have several urls, and
31
00:05:35.820 --> 00:05:46.170
Tarik Rukab: basically providing is many resources for you to kind of get ready and be successful for the a. Z one for exam. So what we're gonna do guys, we're gonna go through some
32
00:05:46.190 --> 00:06:05.380
Tarik Rukab: strategies and also kind of g0 0ver how to prepare for the exam, how to register the exam. Okay. So this is our agenda here for today. And first we're gonna kind of start off the easy guys. We'll go and talk about how to register for the exam, and a lot of you might be using dial through. So we'll kind of include that in the
33
00:06:05.380 --> 00:06:22.620
Tarik Rukab: demonstration there. After that we're going to get into discussing some strategies for taking the exam, and you know there you want to go in with the right mindset. For the most part, guys and kind of have a a heads up on some of the scenarios that could be thrown at you there, and that's something we are going to discuss.
34
00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:38.340
Tarik Rukab: And then from there we're going to kind of focus on a lot of the resources that we're going to provide here, such as Microsoft learn, and that's really going to be the courseware. For the most part this can provide your information. The book for the easy one t0 4 course, and then from there we're kinda
35
00:06:39.070 --> 00:06:58.260
Tarik Rukab: get pinpoint specific on what areas in chapters that you want to kind of focus on for the exam in particular. After that we have some additional resources with Microsoft learn as well like assessment guides and study guides, and from there we also have some hands on with what they call
36
00:06:58.260 --> 00:07:18.250
Tarik Rukab: sandbox, and so I have plenty of urls, pretty much all of them for the a. Z one and 4. And as Miles mentioned guys, we have a very good package here, and we're gonna send you a Pdf. At some point which will have all the slides here and all the links that you will need again to be successful on the easy one, and for exam.
37
00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:26.860
Tarik Rukab: From there we'll do a little technical deep dive, and then we'll also close it up with some Q. A. At the end. Okay, so
38
00:07:27.330 --> 00:07:40.770
Tarik Rukab: very Sunday, heavy here, guys, and really hope that you find some of this very beneficial. Okay, and start off with here. First up. We will talk about registering the exam. And for the most part here we have
39
00:07:40.770 --> 00:07:47.610
Tarik Rukab: Pearson View. Okay, and that is really the exam provider, and you can do it in person. Guys at a
40
00:07:47.610 --> 00:08:14.800
Tarik Rukab: Here's some new location, but you can also take it at home or your office as well. So you kind of have a private desk area to work with, s0 0bviously very many options to take the exam. And if you take it from home or at the office, of course, and you have flexible hours to take the exam as well. It could be right up till midnight is depending on what your hours are. Some people are morning. Some people are 9 h, so you know, that can accommodate all the above.
41
00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:27.200
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and also, like, I said earlier, we have a lot of urls into the slides as well. Okay. And as we kind of push forward here, we'll take a look at some of them, and
42
00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:46.460
Tarik Rukab: of course I go in depth with some of them now, with that being said when you first schedule the exam here, guys, there's a couple of ways that you could do it, of course. Now, one, you could go straight to Pearson View. Okay, but you also might just want to go straight to the Microsoft
43
00:08:46.460 --> 00:09:03.190
Tarik Rukab: site first, and if you kind of go there first, like I have URL down at the bottom of the slide here, and if we were to go there first. That would kind of give us the information about the exam itself. Okay, and for some reason my urls are not working on my slides here. But here we go.
44
00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:22.450
Tarik Rukab: It's kind of took it in a second. They weren't coming up at first there. S0 0kay, now we could go straight to Pearson View, and at that point, if you've already taken an exam. And so you already already have an account there, and from there probably be be pretty straightforward, and you're probably already familiar with it. But if you've never scheduled an example.
45
00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:37.140
Tarik Rukab: one of the things you're gonna want for versus a Microsoft account, and if you don't have one already. I would recommend going to Microsoft. Learn creating an account there. Of course, if you've already been certified in the past, and you most likely already have a Microsoft on account.
46
00:09:37.300 --> 00:09:47.230
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But if we take a look here, these are basically the same objectives here, and this is kind of getting us ready for the a/C. One for exam.
47
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:57.500
Myles Brown: Yes, we're still just seeing your slides when you click on that. I think you're sharing just the powerpoint, not your screen.
48
00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:02.230
Tarik Rukab: Just that there
49
00:10:08.410 --> 00:10:09.770
Tarik Rukab: Is that better? Most?
50
00:10:09.780 --> 00:10:13.670
Myles Brown: Yeah. It's a little small.
51
00:10:13.830 --> 00:10:15.930
Tarik Rukab: Okay?
52
00:10:21.890 --> 00:10:48.450
Tarik Rukab: Okay, Sorry about that guys. So it's just here on the slides. There we were using the force just for a second there getting okay, all right. So this is the URL that I have in this slide deck here and again. We're gonna provide a Pdf guys with all the copy of the slides. All the Urls will be embedded there for you, so you can have everything you need right there readily available. I'm just gonna kind of g0 0ver a couple of things to get you familiar with it here. And like i'm saying, this is where we can go for
53
00:10:48.450 --> 00:11:02.310
Tarik Rukab: kind of look at the exact same objectives. But we can also schedule the exam here as well, and I do have this you around the slide, that. And to start off with, here we take a look. They have an Exam. Prep. Video here for us.
54
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:29.720
Tarik Rukab: a study guide. Now the Study Guide is not really like Q. A. It's more the the objectives themselves, which I have all outlined in the actual presentation as well. If we just kind of take a look at this real quick here, it's going to kind of tell us what to expect on the the exam. Any updates to the exam because they periodically change the exam, you know, as there's always evolving it's always getting better, so they're going to try to update the exam to accommodate that
55
00:11:29.730 --> 00:11:38.860
Tarik Rukab: from there. They're also going to discuss like skills measure, and then they kind of break it down. So we kind of take a Look here, they're kind of showing you percentages
56
00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:53.000
Tarik Rukab: purchase percentages. Excuse me, that was a tough word. Okay, If what to expect on the exam. So manage azure identities and governance that that's really user accounts and group accounts. But we talk about governance there that could get into
57
00:11:53.000 --> 00:12:06.410
Tarik Rukab: conditional access identity, protection as your policy, so that can be pretty broad. And you know these are some of the things we are going to discuss in a bit more detail. Second, half of the presentation. Here we do the technical deep dive.
58
00:12:06.510 --> 00:12:35.420
Tarik Rukab: but from there, you see, they kind of break it down. And at this point this is kind of broad here, you know. The same governance can include so many things right? So we kind of come down just a little bit further here. What Microsoft is going to break it down in pretty much detail here for us. Right? So at this point we know we need to focus on creating users and groups, and there's various ways to do that right. We can do it through the portal. We could do a big power show. We can do it to the a/C. Command line, and it's feasible that they may test those on any of the above there. So we want to make sure that we're
59
00:12:35.420 --> 00:12:40.740
Tarik Rukab: compared to the various ways that we can achieve creating users and grooves.
60
00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:58.840
Tarik Rukab: And from there you you'll see that continues to kind of go in detail about the administrative units and performing bulk updates and things like that. And then, as we continue here, just keyboarded points kind of the whole way down. Now, this is something we're gonna kind of focus on like I said the second half. Here, we'll get into the technical deep dive.
61
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:18.740
Tarik Rukab: But I just want to kind of show you everything that's gonna be at your disposal. Okay. So this is a great starting point here. Identify exactly your objectives. What you need to focus on, and you might see here is in here, you know I feel pretty good about the armed templates. I've been doing that for a long time, but you know what i'm not very good with stored. So you might want to channel you a little bit more
62
00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:20.520
Tarik Rukab: effort into that area.
63
00:13:20.660 --> 00:13:39.150
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so this is a good area to start out with guys. And of course, you know, you really want to read the whole book. Do all the labs, if you can, to me that's really going to be very beneficial, because sometimes they're going to test you on how to configure certain things in azure, and they may once you didn't know the exact steps it would be involved with that.
64
00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:56.840
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So I think, looking at the objectives here, I think, reading the book and following it up with some hands on it's really going to be your best bed to kind of prepare yourself, and then from there start focusing on practice exams to kind of understand the format of the exam, and I think that would be a very successful package there.
65
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:10.490
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at this point, guys it, you can see that we just kinda continued, You know, just kind of shows you everything you're gonna need for the exam here. Okay, and then, like, I said, that will change periodically. So right now we kind of see that this was updated October 27.
66
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:25.990
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So I'm gonna keep an eye on that for sure. And then another thing we can do here. I'm gonna go and close up that one tab is. We can also schedule the exam for you. So, like I was saying, we could go straight to Pearson View. Okay, but we could also come right in here. You'll see schedule the exam.
67
00:14:26.450 --> 00:14:34.830
Tarik Rukab: and I have these in the Powerpoint as well. Guys just kind of briefly demo the steps here. So you would select schedule exam.
68
00:14:35.150 --> 00:14:47.920
Tarik Rukab: And at this point you're gonna go to a little registration process. Okay, so you have your profile. Of course, if you have a Microsoft account guys, you have a profile. If not, then, like, I said earlier, you just create what Microsoft.
69
00:14:47.920 --> 00:15:06.180
Tarik Rukab: Okay. From there there may be discounts, guys that just all depends on your organization, and of course, your certifications as well. And then you'll see a schedule exam. So it's just 3 steps here. Okay. So this is my profile here, and from there you want to make sure that you acknowledge the terms of use.
70
00:15:06.300 --> 00:15:29.190
Tarik Rukab: and you would go next at that point. I'm not really gonna schedule the exam guys. I'm just kind of pretending to go through the motions here with you, and kind of show you where you would do the voucher as well. Now this is a discount for me, guys, because i'm a Microsoft certified trainer. So you'll see those are You'll see Mt. On both, so you most likely will not see this, but it still might come up with a discount section.
71
00:15:29.290 --> 00:15:44.450
Tarik Rukab: You will not put the voucher code here. Okay, just give you a heads up. A lot of people want to put the out for code right here. You're really gonna kind of do it at the very end when they want the actual payment. Okay, and we're gonna see that just a second here, so i'm gonna go and do next.
72
00:15:44.490 --> 00:16:03.440
Tarik Rukab: and I i'm gonna skip my discount here just real quick again, not really scheduling the exam. Of course I would take advantage of the 50% or 75% off. Okay, now, at this point we notice that I started with the Microsoft site here, but at this point it's going to go ahead and put us into Pearson View.
73
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.310
Tarik Rukab: So i'm going to go and select schedule with Pearson View.
74
00:16:08.910 --> 00:16:20.940
Tarik Rukab: And then also, while you're doing this, you want to make sure that it is the correct exam. So at all times it should tell you this. You see one of 4 0f course, and this and people have scheduled the wrong exam sometimes. So it's like to point that out.
75
00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:24.420
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then what we see now, is that a test center
76
00:16:24.470 --> 00:16:39.100
Tarik Rukab: online, my home or office, or I have a private access code. Still, not gonna do the voucher here. Okay. So keep in mind. The voucher is gonna be at the very end, like when you would basically submit payment, whether it's credit, card or voucher. Okay, so we're gonna see that in just a moment here.
77
00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:56.750
Tarik Rukab: And if we want to do a test center. Now, a lot of training centers guys do have a certified test center. All of the community colleges have them as well. A lot of times. I come right up to a community college right down the street here, but the last couple of years I've kind of taken advantage of the
78
00:16:56.750 --> 00:17:01.870
Tarik Rukab: home testing, which is really nice, actually, and very convenient as well.
79
00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:32.250
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But if you were to go to a test center when you select this. Now, there's a couple of things you want to be prepared for, such as identification and what to expect, and certain personal items. Now, when you go to the exam, they don't really want anything on your person, so they're going to collect your wallet your cell phone and all that good stuff, and then typically put in a little lock or isolated area. You're allowed to have glasses, but they'll check them. You didn't make sure there's nothing on them, and of course you want to make sure that you have a ballot. Id whether it's a driver
80
00:17:32.250 --> 00:17:35.140
license or a passport or both.
81
00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:42.550
Tarik Rukab: And at that point guys, you would be able to schedule the exam online, and then, of course, show up in person.
82
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:52.870
Tarik Rukab: Now, if you're scheduling it here, you'll see that they want to know what language as well, because they offer in a variety of languages, and we're going to select English here, and we'll go next.
83
00:17:54.120 --> 00:18:14.990
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then from there we have a additional information. Okay. So at that point, you know, you have a couple of things that you have to adhere to as far as terms of use and things like that. Okay? And you going to select. Yes, here. Okay, You might want to really kind of read them, though, to kind of the details for real world. I'm gonna do this just a little bit quicker here for demonstration purposes
84
00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:15.690
this.
85
00:18:15.750 --> 00:18:23.790
Tarik Rukab: Okay, if we go next year, we have additional terms and conditions that we want to make sure that we read over okay. And from there.
86
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:43.380
Tarik Rukab: Once we do that we're going to agree. So they're going to say about the cancellation policy, and this is something you may want to adhere to as well. If you schedule the exam guys, you have 24 h before the exam to cancel it. So if you schedule it today, for like, you know, 10 am. Tomorrow. Then you're kind of locked in right? So something to be aware of.
87
00:18:44.330 --> 00:18:47.010
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then from there we're going to go int0 3.
88
00:18:47.660 --> 00:19:00.930
Tarik Rukab: And now they kind of show us a couple of places to where we can find a test center. So you'll notice here that's kind of shown as authorized testing locations, and the idea here is, you know, we could select a few of them here
89
00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:12.710
Tarik Rukab: at random. Now you would obviously want to select. You know locations are probably physically closer to you in physical proximity, and at this point it kind of gives us an idea where they're located.

00:19:14.690 --> 00:19:27.120
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then from there all the way to the bottom. We're going to see next. and at this point it will kind of show us availability. Now you'll notice that it's showing the 3 locations here that I selected at the top.
91
00:19:27.350 --> 00:19:51.240
Tarik Rukab: and then it shows a calendar underneath. Okay, so right now, this Florida State College at Texas goes south. Campus seems to be booked for the whole month here, but maybe i'm planning on taking it in March. Right? So we're going to check March. We see a couple of days that are available here, and if we select one of the dates here, they should provide us with certain times. It would be available as well. Okay. S0 12 Pm. T0 2 Pm.
92
00:19:51.240 --> 00:20:08.680
Tarik Rukab: Sounds pretty good, so we could book that appointment. That's not applicable. Then, of course, we could always slightly different day, and, you know, try to identify the Times. There. Looks like they're very prone t0 12 0'clock there. Okay. And now we could also do it from home, and there would be a couple of other
93
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:15.550
well, a couple of differences there. But you still select a day and time, of course, so very similar to what we're seeing right now.
94
00:20:15.710 --> 00:20:21.060
Tarik Rukab: Now, once you feel like you have the appropriate date. Okay, we could select book this appointment.
95
00:20:23.310 --> 00:20:37.340
Tarik Rukab: Okay, this point. It gives us the details. Okay, and they also want to mention measure of. Now, this is something we're also going to discuss. Guys. Now measure up is the actual study guide that is recommended, and Microsoft approved
96
00:20:37.340 --> 00:20:52.770
Tarik Rukab: for all their experience. Okay, so we're, of course, obviously focused on the a/C. One and 4, and this is something that you could actually purchase during the exam registration. You'll see here, guys, it's $80 which is normally 99. So it is actually discounted. But
97
00:20:52.770 --> 00:21:10.640
Tarik Rukab: we're going t0 0ffer this exact same study guys for rough roughly about $50. K. And I have a presentation slide for that as well. And with the URL for that as well, and the measure up skies. I'm a big fan of them. They're great. They really prepare you for the
98
00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:33.640
Tarik Rukab: follow up with the labs, and then from there, Once you kind of feel like you have that foundation, and you're kind of in test mode. This is going to be kind of the last, you know. Step before you go. Take your exam and measure up can be tough. Okay, but they they're very close to the exam so very real world. And then from there, whenever you are going through the exam.
99
00:21:34.130 --> 00:21:51.840
Tarik Rukab: you can put in a practice mode which you kind of allows you to take your time and dissect it from there you can kind of go in a test mode, which is kind of more timed, and you're kind of really simulating the actual exam. Okay, but it one of your techniques and what I really love about measure up, and there's i'm sure the other study guides do it as well, but it
100
00:21:51.840 --> 00:22:04.930
Tarik Rukab: it tells you why the answer is correct, and why the other ones were wrong, and I find that very beneficial, because sometimes, when you're reading that that's going to help answer other questions that you may see on the actual exam.
101
00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:08.240
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at this point
102
00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:16.770
Tarik Rukab: we're just going to go ahead and go next year. So we kind of see everything in front of us here, total cost and all that, and you'll see the exams typically 165,
103
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:32.390
Tarik Rukab: and then from there we go proceed to check out. Now, this point. This is where we can provide the voucher. Okay. But at this point you'll see. This is where they expect payment, and of course, whether it's credit card, whether it's about or whatever it may be.
104
00:22:32.390 --> 00:22:42.580
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at this point we'll see right here, right under the estimated total. Do we're going to see at voucher or promo code. So at that point we can drop this down. And
105
00:22:42.580 --> 00:23:06.130
Tarik Rukab: of course, if you do sign up with this guys, and, as Miles was saying, a fantastic deal, guys 40% off of the class, including the exam voucher and study guide fantastic deal. So please take advantage of it. Okay. But with that being said, if you were to get a voucher. You would just paste it in here or type it in here. And at that point. No need for a credit card, of course, and
106
00:23:06.770 --> 00:23:18.480
Tarik Rukab: you just kind of make sure you dot the I across the T with your name, your address, and so forth. There, that's really about it, guys. So scheduling the exam can be They're pretty straightforward. Just make sure you have everything prepared.
107
00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:41.470
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and like. So I kind of have all that spelled out as Well, I'm just gonna to minimize that. Okay. So I have all this in the actual presentation, guys, and keep in mind. There will be a urls with it as well. They weren't working at first guys. I guess it's because I was just share my powerful or my powerpoint presentation. So you'll see here that if I click on that, that's gonna take us straight to that link.
108
00:23:41.590 --> 00:23:56.530
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then also, if I were to kind of click on Pearson View, that would take a straight to Pearson View. Okay. So keep in mind everything. You see here, you're gonna get a Pdf: and you're gonna have the exact links that i'm showing and demonstrating here
109
00:23:56.560 --> 00:24:01.310
Tarik Rukab: and like, I said, a great little package Here, guys, I think I've got everything covered for you.
110
00:24:01.910 --> 00:24:13.370
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so at this point what kind of make line of it. So we just saw exactly how to schedule at a test center. But keep in mind. You can do it at the home or office as well. Like I said, guys, all you need is a
111
00:24:13.370 --> 00:24:30.920
Tarik Rukab: like a desk, just clear nothing on it at all except the laptop or the computer that you can be using to take the exam, and they have to kind of, you know. Use your camera and show the actual workspace to make sure it's clear, and they'll have You take a couple of pictures and a couple of things before the exam. So if you do take it from home.
112
00:24:31.260 --> 00:24:48.190
Tarik Rukab: I think they allowed us to come in roughly about 30 min before the exam is scheduled, and I would do that because it will take a little bit of time to take your pictures, and they want you to take a picture of your left. You're right in front of you behind you because they want to kind of see your exact workspace there.
113
00:24:48.830 --> 00:24:50.430
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So
114
00:24:50.850 --> 00:25:00.000
Tarik Rukab: depending on how you want to take it, guys like, I said, several options there. Okay? So the next couple of slides we're gonna kind of make light of being that. We just kinda demo this.
115
00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:06.020
Okay, you'll see that I put it all on the slides here. So we kind of see the reset there, how to schedule the exam.
116
00:25:07.390 --> 00:25:17.990
Tarik Rukab: Okay, whether it's at a test center, whether it's at home. Okay, and originally I was just gonna kind of focus on the slides. But you know what this Bring up the URL and kind of walk through it there.
117
00:25:18.280 --> 00:25:23.500
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But this is good, because it will give us a little bit more time with the technical deep down towards the end here.
118
00:25:23.770 --> 00:25:37.050
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So this point guys, is kind of showing the screenshots of what we just demonstrated, and we're going to select our language. Of course we're going to take a look at the terms of use and the Microsoft policies, and adhere to those
119
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.960
Tarik Rukab: from there we proceed to check out, and then keep in mind that whenever we
120
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:59.320
Tarik Rukab: proceed to check out where the actual payment. That is where we will deem the promo code at that point for the exam. Okay. So at that point you would just drop that down, guys. And, like I said earlier, paste it in there, and that should cover your exam cost.
121
00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:08.550
Tarik Rukab: Okay, now, from there. Let's start getting into some of the deeper stuff here. Okay. Now.
122
00:26:08.550 --> 00:26:32.630
Tarik Rukab: whenever you are taking a Microsoft exam. And you know this is applicable to many of the Microsoft exams, not just the a/C. One, for there's certain formats that they will throw at Jen. You might want to be ready for. Okay. Now one. Take your time and read the entire question. Now I know that may sound funny, but sometimes the questions are very small, and they're pretty straightforward, and that's wonderful when they are.
123
00:26:32.630 --> 00:26:48.940
Tarik Rukab: But sometimes the questions are gonna be a bit longer, and they anticipate that they want us to think outside the box a little bit. Okay? And at that point you want to make sure you read the entire question, because you know what? Sometimes you're reading the question, and it may be something you're very familiar with, and you already have the answer in your mind.
124
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:59.520
Tarik Rukab: Well, at that point you know at the bottom of the question it could be is or is not in in this game. Change right? So you want to make sure you just read the entire question, and from there.
125
00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:22.970
Tarik Rukab: you know, provide the best answer. And I say that guys, because sometimes I've been guilty but myself I start reading a question. I think I know where they're going there, and I think I already had the answer a lot of times that will be an available answer. But it may not be the correct answer right? So I want to make sure. I read the whole question, and I don't have to tell myself sometimes toward it. Slow down, Read the whole thing. Okay? And then from there answer the question
126
00:27:23.560 --> 00:27:33.410
Tarik Rukab: Now, if you can. Of course. Now I do have this in here as well. It number 4. Now, if you read a question and you do not know the answer at all. Okay.
127
00:27:33.490 --> 00:27:53.920
Tarik Rukab: the exam is time, all right, and you know what? For the most part. They're going to give you plenty of time. Okay, but we want to make sure we utilize that correctly. So whenever i'm taking an example. If I know the question. I'd market, you know, I answered, of course, and I move to the next one if I read a question, and at the end i'm kind of like. Hmm. I'm. Not really sure.
128
00:27:53.930 --> 00:27:57.730
Tarik Rukab: I will market, and I don't even answer, I will market.
129
00:27:57.730 --> 00:28:22.980
Tarik Rukab: and I continue so with I with that format, you know, hopefully, by the time we get towards the end of the exam, my hope is that I have less than 10 more, and the reason being, you know this is nothing science, but if I feel like, if I had less than 10 mark, i'm doing pretty good on the exam all right. Now, if I have 14 0r 15 mark. I'm a little nervous, because at that point we're kind of on that border where it could fall either way.
130
00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:25.720
Tarik Rukab: But it allows me to identify
131
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:47.660
Tarik Rukab: how many I have left, how much time I have left. And at that point I can put a little bit more energy on these questions that I was not able to answer immediately. And you know what sometimes you have to draw them out and take advantage of that. They'll provide a whiteboard for you, and if you need to draw out a scenario, and you know, mark things out, and of course draw it out, and sometimes it visually new
132
00:28:47.660 --> 00:29:06.500
Tarik Rukab: to visualize. It will help answer the question as well. Okay. So write down details when need be, and something like, I said. Some of the questions are going to be pretty straightforward. Some of them are not, and that's when you might need to write down the details, and some of them can be quite wrong. So write down the details throughout the question, if possible.
133
00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:24.890
Tarik Rukab: and you know it could be one. Maybe they're focused on a virtual network with a deploying, maybe a firewall, and maybe a virtual network gateway. And you're trying to visualize all that right. So instead, maybe call it
134
00:29:24.890 --> 00:29:33.690
Tarik Rukab: certain things together, and I find it beneficial. Guys. It doesn't mean it works for everybody. So these are just recommendations, and I really hope they do work for you.
135
00:29:34.170 --> 00:29:43.390
Tarik Rukab: Okay. Now number 3 very important, and I live by this. I swear by this, and I tell every student this for the last quarter of a century.
136
00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:47.610
Tarik Rukab: always try to use process elimination always
137
00:29:47.660 --> 00:29:52.360
Tarik Rukab: when you see these questions, and especially the multiple tools.
138
00:29:52.680 --> 00:30:02.460
Tarik Rukab: 2 0f them are typically not even in the ballp, right? And a lot of times we can eliminate that. So you know what? C. And D. No way. Okay. So now i'm at a and B,
139
00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:20.920
Tarik Rukab: which i'm still kind of on the fence here between a and B. But at least i'm not a 50 50 shot now, right and I know it's not perfect. But sometimes you get lucky enough to where you're not sure of an answer, and all of a sudden you're like, Well, no way is a correct no way is be correct. See, i'm not sure but you know what the no way.
140
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:30.000
Tarik Rukab: So it has to be. See, and sometimes we get that lucky, and you know, and that's a great thing as well. But I do find that process of elimination has been
141
00:30:30.060 --> 00:30:33.880
Tarik Rukab: very beneficial for me over the course of my
142
00:30:34.050 --> 00:30:38.920
Tarik Rukab: certification years, and guys when I first started certifying, you know, to be very candid.
143
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:51.140
Tarik Rukab: I struggled with these. I did not have a strategy, and I just kind of went in there reckless. And you know there were times that I just were I would struggle, and fortunately you know one of my peers, for we
144
00:30:51.140 --> 00:31:11.210
Tarik Rukab: process elimination to work. You have to get one with that mindset for all everything else. So give me the exact same advice that i'm trying to provide for you, and I have to admit it was a game changer right out the date a game changer, and you know the exams are already tough guys. So you know, any little benefit that can g0 0ur way is going to be very useful.
145
00:31:12.130 --> 00:31:40.960
Tarik Rukab: Okay, now, from there, if you do not know the answer. Okay, so I kinda got ahead of schedule on that one now market. And, as I was saying earlier guys and I and matter of fact, I've taken a couple of exams this year, and the last one I took. I think I had 8 questions, mark. So at that point I felt good, and that kind of felt like assuming that everything else was correct. Right? So I kind of feel like you know what you're gonna pass this exam. But let's try real hard to get these other 8 correct as well, just in case
146
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:56.310
Tarik Rukab: because you know what you might be tricked on some of the questions, and you felt like you read it. You felt like you answered. You felt very comfortable. That was the correct answer, and it might be, but at the same time it may not. So my goal was to try to get every one of them correct as possible.
147
00:31:56.370 --> 00:32:10.610
Tarik Rukab: and for the most part they're typically looking for about 70. So the exams guys they score up t0 1000 being the highest, and they're typically looking for a 700 as a passing score. So that's why I say 70%.
148
00:32:10.610 --> 00:32:21.260
Tarik Rukab: But with that being said, well, there's different types of questions. Okay? And some questions may weigh more than others. Okay, so it's kind of easy to say over 70,
149
00:32:21.370 --> 00:32:39.710
Tarik Rukab: however, depending on the question Format that you get, you know, like some questions, may be multiple choice, and they may want you to select more than one answer. So those are typically gonna weigh a little bit more than the single answer questions. And then some are gonna have you kind of drag and drop like more scenario based?
150
00:32:39.710 --> 00:32:44.320
Tarik Rukab: They're gonna weigh a little bit more as well. Okay. So just you know food for thought there.
151
00:32:45.070 --> 00:32:58.580
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and Number 5 try really hard not to second. Guess yourself, and you don't have to admit that's something that's hard for me. But typically your first instinct is correct, and so a lot of times, you know people.
152
00:32:58.600 --> 00:33:04.360
Tarik Rukab: We'll take the exam. They answer questions, and there's a handful of them that they were not very sure about.
153
00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:20.940
Tarik Rukab: but they go and answer them because the first and you said, oh, it's B. Then a little bit later, when we're going through the review. At that point you start second guessing yourself, and you start talking yourself out of it, and you look at, See? And say, well see, could work as well, and D could work as well, and then you end up changing your answer.
154
00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:31.180
Tarik Rukab: Now. Sometimes it can be a good thing if you reviewing, and you identify a mistake, and so no, I know this is. Be instead of the then that's a good thing. But sometimes, when you're not really sure
155
00:33:31.520 --> 00:33:46.870
Tarik Rukab: a lot of times your first instinct is going to be correct, so I try to tell myself once you answer, commit, and if you feel good about that answer, and even then from there, like. So if I do not know the answer immediately, I typically market and save it for later.
156
00:33:46.880 --> 00:34:05.810
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But one of the things, and just kind of give you a heads up real quick. When I first started my career, and one of the very first exams I saw was called networking essential. So it's a lot like the network plus exam that you may be familiar with from Comptia, but it was Microsoft back in the nineties, and it was called network and essentials.
157
00:34:05.810 --> 00:34:18.719
Tarik Rukab: And when I first took the exam I at the very end I reviewed everything, and I end up changing 3 answers. Well, I failed to exam by one question, and i'm not proud of that, of course, but just to give you a real world scenario here.
158
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:29.320
Tarik Rukab: Well, the 3 that I change were actually correct, but I did not trust my first instinct. So that's one of the main reasons, and you know, having to be right out the gate, so i'm pretty adamant about it now.
159
00:34:29.449 --> 00:34:44.040
Tarik Rukab: So long. Story short, had I just left the first instinct there, I would have passed the exam by 2 questions, but instead I chose to talk myself out of the correct answer, and chose to change 3 0f them, and found it by one.
160
00:34:44.120 --> 00:35:09.540
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So these are things that we want to try very hard not to do. But you know what we're human and and you know what. If you fell an exam, guys, it's not the end of the world. you know it's. You put a lot of time and effort in there, but it's not wasted. You still invested in yourself, and you learn, and that's always the most important thing. Credentials are important for real world, for as far as jobs and things like that. But learning is always investing in yourself. So I never mind preparing
161
00:35:09.540 --> 00:35:16.100
Tarik Rukab: for the exam, or to teacher course, or whatever it is because I know that I am learning more, and it benefits me.
162
00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:24.410
Tarik Rukab: and that's the way you want to look at it as well. Okay, now, a couple of the things here we want to take a look at. Now.
163
00:35:25.330 --> 00:35:39.420
Tarik Rukab: if we take a look at Number 6 here, use practice exams wisely. Now, as I was saying, earlier practice exams are really great. So typically guys, whenever I'm preparing for an exam, I want to read the book because I want to understand the product.
164
00:35:39.510 --> 00:35:53.720
Tarik Rukab: and then from there I want to do the lab. So I do the hands on. And you're gonna see at the end of this presentation I have several urls, so Microsoft has what they call sandbox, which will lie to go in and kind of activate, a sandbox tenant.
165
00:35:53.800 --> 00:36:10.950
Tarik Rukab: and so at that point you'll be able to go in and do certain exercises like deploy a virtual machine, a storage account. Some are going to be portal based. Some are going to be as your command line, and then some are going to be power shells. You're gonna kind of get the best, you know the 3 worlds there for administering azure.
166
00:36:10.950 --> 00:36:25.150
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And so at that point, whenever you're doing the practice, well do that first and then once. You kind of feel if you have your foundation. I'm feeling pretty good with the product. You feel pretty good with the book the hands on, and I want to start gearing towards the exam.
167
00:36:25.150 --> 00:36:45.050
Tarik Rukab: Well, that's where the practice exams get very important. So at that point, guys, you know, I focus on nothing but the practice exams, you know, for the next few days, or maybe sometimes a week before the exam. And when I say use them wisely, you definitely do not want to memorize a practice exam that will not benefit you in any way, shape or form. So remember that they're going to explain to you
168
00:36:45.050 --> 00:37:00.740
Tarik Rukab: why this is the correct answer, and why the other ones were not. And you want to take advantage of that. And, like I said, when you understand that, and understanding why the other ones were not correct sometimes. That's gonna help with other questions. And but no, that it helps. You understand
169
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:02.180
Tarik Rukab: other
170
00:37:02.890 --> 00:37:08.300
Tarik Rukab: objects in azure and what they may actually represent. Okay, so
171
00:37:08.310 --> 00:37:24.350
Tarik Rukab: I find that very beneficial, and take your time when you're doing the practice exams as well. You know there's no hurry, especially the first couple. So the first few times matter of fact, at least the first 3 times I put in a practice mode, because I don't really want it to time. Me, you know I kind of dissect it.
172
00:37:24.350 --> 00:37:32.660
Tarik Rukab: Take notes. I'm gonna try to do is keyboarded points. Keep it as small as possible, right? So just get a no pad and hold it point.
173
00:37:33.080 --> 00:37:44.420
Tarik Rukab: And then at that point, once I dissect the exam, I go in test mode, and that's where I start simulating. My goal is to get a 1,000 every time, right? S0 0nce I get a 1,000 a few times, I feel like, okay, I think i'm ready for the example.
174
00:37:44.770 --> 00:37:56.690
Tarik Rukab: Now, that may be a little excessive, but that's my goal, and I've never at an exam. But you know, as i'm preparing, I want a 1000 0n my practice Exam: and that feels like. No, I'm pretty much as ready as I can be.
175
00:37:57.670 --> 00:38:01.060
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so hopefully, some that will be beneficial for you.
176
00:38:01.730 --> 00:38:09.900
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And now number 7 here, what we want to kind of take a look at here, are there's various questions on the
177
00:38:09.910 --> 00:38:18.910
Tarik Rukab: and knowing what to expect can be very beneficial as well. So if we take a look here, guys, we're going to see that we have question format.
178
00:38:18.930 --> 00:38:20.610
Tarik Rukab: Now, I have case studies.
179
00:38:20.660 --> 00:38:33.700
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So whenever you take a Microsoft exam, now, again, we're focused on easy one of 4. But this is actually a lot of them. Okay, a lot of times. They're gonna give you at least one case study sometimes t0 0kay, but at least for one.
180
00:38:34.030 --> 00:38:40.000
Tarik Rukab: And the case study is like its own individual. Exam: okay, it's meaning that you have to
181
00:38:40.020 --> 00:38:57.590
Tarik Rukab: read the case, study and what it is. Typically, they give you an environment case. You're going to read like the existing environment, and a lot of times they're either going to be migrating into azure or just transitioning certain workloads in the azure, and from there. They're going to kind of tell you what the proposed. So you know environment
182
00:38:57.590 --> 00:39:17.010
Tarik Rukab: for the envision. Let me correct myself the envisioned environment. I mean what their plans are, how what they want to d0 0kay? And then from there you'll see the existing environment, and then they'll ask you a series of questions and some. But we'll refer back to the existing environment, the envisioned environment, and what the requirements are going to be.
183
00:39:17.020 --> 00:39:31.760
Tarik Rukab: So the case Study can be a very, very long question, and it's in different sections, but they break it up kind of nice. So it allows you to kind of go to different sections directly of the case study, and a lot of times they do focus on the requirements.
184
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:40.310
Tarik Rukab: So what I recommend there is actually reading the case study. Okay, when I say that the first time through very quickly, and I know that may sound fun
185
00:39:40.530 --> 00:39:52.940
Tarik Rukab: because it's it's long. And you're not gonna to remember every detail. Okay, but you're going to see certain things in there that will refresh your brain from there. Take a look at the questions and then go back to the case done.
186
00:39:52.940 --> 00:40:17.570
Tarik Rukab: and at that point you'll find the right area in the case. Study what you need to kind of pinpoint on. And remember, if you need to write it down, draw it out. That will be an option, and I find that you know kind of a successful format for the case studies. So the first view I just kind of glance over very quickly. I don't really write anything down, but as I start to read the questions, I go back to the case study, and then that's when I start writing things down or calling it out.
187
00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:19.570
Now for the case study.
188
00:40:19.870 --> 00:40:25.710
Tarik Rukab: You could get 6 questions. You can get 10 questions. It just depends. It's random. It just comes from a pool.
189
00:40:26.010 --> 00:40:34.020
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But if you get a case, study and let's see that you get 10 questions with it at that point it's like a 10 question exam.
190
00:40:34.060 --> 00:40:49.600
Tarik Rukab: So even though I said, mark the questions technically, you could mark some. But before you finish the case, study you have to finish all 10 questions, and that's why I say it's kind of like a separate zen. So at that point it will ask you, are you sure? And you will say yes in adapt
191
00:40:49.760 --> 00:41:07.320
Tarik Rukab: point. When it goes to the next set section you will not be able to go back to the case Done? Okay. And so it is literally like a separate exam inside of an exam. Now again, when I say this when I get the questions, Can I mark them? Yes. Can I go back and review them? Yes, but only wild
192
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:21.530
Tarik Rukab: at the actual place study. S0 0nce you finalize the case, study and say, Yes, it's complete. It will end the case. Study, Go to the next set section of the exam, and again. You will not go to the back. Okay, so that can be important.
193
00:41:21.830 --> 00:41:39.600
Tarik Rukab: Now. From there a lot of them are going to be multiple choice. Just a. B CD type thing a lot of times. It will be a single answer. Sometimes it will be a multiple, you know. Choose all that apply. Choose to choose 3 0kay, from there. There are some driving drop scenarios.
194
00:41:39.600 --> 00:41:57.560
Tarik Rukab: Now, these are typically the ones where they either want to match or criteria. Okay, and I do have a couple of examples that we'll take a look at as well, or a lot of times. It is more steps. Okay, so it might be how to configure, you know, like a virtual network or something like that, and they'll have certain steps, and they
195
00:41:57.820 --> 00:42:11.080
Tarik Rukab: they might have like several, maybe 7 10 steps on the left, and the idea is you would drag and drop the correct steps in order. Okay. So when I say drag and drop, they're gonna kind of give you basically little
196
00:42:11.080 --> 00:42:34.830
Tarik Rukab: scenarios that you can drag over and you just drag them to the right location is what it's gonna be. And a lot of times it is step by step on how you would configure something. But sometimes it's matching something up like, Where would you go To create a user and at 3D. Might be one of the options, and we just tried it right over there as an example. Okay, so drag and drop. Okay. So case study multiple toys, try and drop.
197
00:42:34.910 --> 00:42:47.310
Tarik Rukab: drag in trial. And then we also have radio buttons. Now, some of the questions are just radio buttons, and you can say yes, no. So we're gonna be. Yes, no. Some are going to be select all that apply, or some are going to be
198
00:42:47.720 --> 00:43:05.530
Tarik Rukab: scenario base and which devices is apply to device, One device, 2 device 3, and you just kind of do radio buttons. Okay. So there are a lot like the multiple choice, and I do have an example of that as well. So keep in mind we're gonna I have like a 3 0r 4 0f them that we'll take a look at. I wasn't able to get
199
00:43:05.630 --> 00:43:07.990
screenshots of every single
200
00:43:08.450 --> 00:43:11.910
Tarik Rukab: questionnaire type, but I I tried my best there.
201
00:43:12.560 --> 00:43:42.360
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then from there. We also have what they call hotspots. Now, the hotspots a lot of times. They just want to select an area, so a lot of times they'll give you like a screenshot, and it could be services. It could be something an azure, just all depends. And the idea there is. Where would you go to implement. Okay, now, to keep it easy. Let's say that it's a service. Okay. So that point they might show you the services I have, and they would have all the services listed out, and they might want you to just go click on a service. And at that point, when you click on it
202
00:43:42.360 --> 00:44:08.090
Tarik Rukab: it will highlight. I'm like with a little circle, and it will be typically green. That's how you answer. You don't. We just click right? So I call it hotspots and then drop down, select. So a lot of times they have some drop down scenarios, and it could be syntax for powershell, and they might have certain areas where you drop down and you just kind of fill out the correct value. Okay, Sometimes the drop downs are going to be more.
203
00:44:08.150 --> 00:44:23.540
Tarik Rukab: It could be new, numeric, based as well. Like how many network security groups with you deploy in this scenario, you know. That might be 2 0r 3. So the drop downs are just kinda a lot like the Abcd as well, but it's a drop down to select the answer instead of selecting a, B or C.
204
00:44:24.080 --> 00:44:37.110
Tarik Rukab: A series of Yes, No questions. Okay. Now, this is an important area here. Okay? And this is also another one that you will not be able to go back on. Okay. So
205
00:44:37.110 --> 00:44:49.800
Tarik Rukab: what I, as I mentioned earlier, you can mark questions and go back to them. However, this is an exception to that. Now typically the Yes. No scenarios a lot of times they're going to ask you
206
00:44:49.820 --> 00:44:54.870
Tarik Rukab: a question, and they're pretty much gonna ask you the exact same question 3 times.
207
00:44:54.890 --> 00:45:08.660
Tarik Rukab: and the answer is going to be, Yes, No. So the question again. Yes, no question again. Yes, not so. Typically the exact same question 3 times, but at the end it's going to have a different proposed solution.
208
00:45:08.780 --> 00:45:11.710
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so it might be. How do we implement
209
00:45:12.210 --> 00:45:31.730
Tarik Rukab: multiple multi-factor authentication in Poll and the first one might be, go to azure a. D. And go to each individual user and enable Mfa. Will this work, yes or n0 0r will this meet the required proposed solution. Yes or no. No, technically. Yes, however, in bulk the answers can be not there.
210
00:45:31.740 --> 00:45:37.350
Tarik Rukab: Can I go in? And and and I enable Mfa on a per user basis absolutely.
211
00:45:37.650 --> 00:45:56.320
Tarik Rukab: But if I have a 1,000 users, i'm not going to go that round right. So the very next one might be, Would you use a conditional access policy and upon it to the All Users group? Well, the answer is going to be yes on that. Okay. So they're going to ask you the same question 3 times, and you know what all 3 could be. No.
212
00:45:57.190 --> 00:46:10.740
Tarik Rukab: that's very rare, and my experience typically one is yes, and the other 2 0r no. However, the one I took not too long ago. I got 3 in a row, and all 3 were No, at least in my
213
00:46:10.810 --> 00:46:28.870
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So the Yes, n0 0ne. You will not be able to go back on at all. So if you get to that very first question. You say no and do next. You can't go back. There's a lot of times. The very next question might answer for you, and that's gonna be the correct answer. So they don't let you go back on those. But the good news is guys. They tell you that.
214
00:46:28.870 --> 00:46:56.710
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So if you're taking the exam. They'll tell you every single thing that I'm explaining to you as well. So technically, you could think of the case study as a separate exam inside the exam, and then the Us. Know kind of like a separate little exam inside the exam as well. Okay. So those are kind of the 2 exceptions as far as marking and going back from there. Guys most of it's going to be Q. A. And a. Lot of times. You know. If you get 45 questions on the exam. Then chance for a good 30 0f them. We're going to be just Q. A.
215
00:46:57.270 --> 00:47:07.540
Tarik Rukab: And you would should be able to go back and review any one of those, and of course change your answer if need be. But, like I said, you know that first instinct is typically what you want to go with.
216
00:47:08.930 --> 00:47:22.590
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then from there, Guys? Yes, no radio button. Some kind of very similar to the yesterday that we were kind of discussing there. But these will be more just questions. Answer. You can mark them. You can review them.
217
00:47:23.290 --> 00:47:34.180
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So what i'm gonna do here just real quick, is i'm gonna jump up a couple of slides. Okay, just to kind of show you some of these questions here, just real quick guys. Now we'll go back, and
218
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:51.500
Tarik Rukab: if you don't like to jump around like that. But since we're kind of on the topic here now, this was straight from measure up here, just kind of give you a heads up, and this is asking a question here, and you can see it's kind, you know, long here for the most part, and at that point they're going to ask you to answer the question.
219
00:47:51.560 --> 00:48:11.390
Tarik Rukab: So this was the format of the question before the answer. So at that point you'd be able to drop it down, and they're going to give you, You know, certain options there. Okay. Now, unfortunately, I was not able to show all the drop downs. My screenshot material was not working for that. Okay, but you'll drop this down and a lot of times it will show 3 0r 4, you know
220
00:48:11.590 --> 00:48:23.220
Tarik Rukab: little answers in there, and they're just looking for you to select the right one. Okay, so at that point you're kind of feeling in a syntax, you know. That would be power show based here about tagging resources and azure people.
221
00:48:23.540 --> 00:48:33.670
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so that's kind of one of the dropdown. Okay, so before after type, thing there and then from there. This is kind of one of the radio button ones I was discussing.
222
00:48:33.720 --> 00:48:38.590
Tarik Rukab: Now this is the Yes No. Now again, these are not the ones I mentioned. We're
223
00:48:38.690 --> 00:48:43.860
Tarik Rukab: You would get 3 questions that are identical, and you can't go back. So this would just be just a regular.
224
00:48:43.890 --> 00:48:52.120
Tarik Rukab: you know. Question here, but you'll see. Yes, N0 0kay. So you read the question, of course, and then from there you would like yes or no, depending on the
225
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.090
statement. This provided to you there.
226
00:48:55.530 --> 00:48:59.370
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then from there, if we take a look.
227
00:48:59.470 --> 00:49:09.480
Tarik Rukab: these are kind of some of the dragon drops here. Now. This one I actually got from a Z. 500. So this was not actually an easy one out for, but it kind of. You know.
228
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:28.810
Tarik Rukab: it allows me to show you what to expect. Okay. So this one, if we take a look here. Okay. Now we have the question here, and it's actually asking about Microsoft Sentinel, which is not really an easy one of 4. So probably not the a fair, you know, demonstration here. But it said. More of the format is what we're kind of focused on.
229
00:49:28.810 --> 00:49:47.520
Tarik Rukab: So you'll see, Create an alert with someone delete a virtual machine, so that point they're like. Where Where would that fall, you know. Oh, sorry! Excuse me that those are the answers there right in here. So azure activity, a your active directory as your web application, firewall azure ddos as your firewall. So you want to know where would this be applicable?
230
00:49:47.670 --> 00:50:05.060
Tarik Rukab: Alright, so now, if you're familiar with as your guys. You may be familiar with the actual monitor. We can go in and configure alerts, and they have what they call an action group, and the action group is who we're gonna notify, and from there it can also perform, like some type of action like maybe execute or run book.
231
00:50:05.060 --> 00:50:26.660
Tarik Rukab: Okay, that might actually shut it through the machine down. Start a Vm. Or you know, some type of automated response would be the idea there. Okay. So that point guys, that would be a Your activity is kind of where they're going with that. Okay. So the idea is you would match each one of these. Okay. So the next one here is select. Notify the security team when someone invokes a conditional access policy.
232
00:50:26.860 --> 00:50:33.970
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at that point they're showing the interactive Directory. Okay and like, I said, you just kind of match them up there.
233
00:50:34.610 --> 00:50:40.910
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then we have one more. This kind of show you here. Now this is another drag and drop.
234
00:50:41.030 --> 00:50:44.330
Tarik Rukab: Okay, but a different scenario here. This is more like.
235
00:50:44.720 --> 00:50:49.270
Tarik Rukab: How would you do it? Okay? So what would be the exact steps involved.
236
00:50:49.350 --> 00:50:51.250
So if you take a look.
237
00:50:51.250 --> 00:51:10.100
Tarik Rukab: the idea is you would read the question, of course. Okay. And then they show possible command. Okay. So at that point we see, like backup azure recovery services, backup. Item: okay, new a/C recovery services fall. So we see the commands are available. So the idea is to kind of look at the question here. Identify what they want to do.
238
00:51:10.100 --> 00:51:24.260
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So we're not currently using as your backup. You plan to back up virtual machines. Okay, or Vn name Vm: One we using as your backup. Okay. So at that point it says you need to identify the powerful command list which are required to configure
239
00:51:24.540 --> 00:51:34.990
Tarik Rukab: recurring backups, using the default backup policy, so which 3 Powershell commanders Should you run in sequence today? So at that point
240
00:51:35.130 --> 00:51:38.610
Tarik Rukab: they're showing registered a/C resource provider
241
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:41.940
and then creating a new azure recovery Services fault.
242
00:51:42.000 --> 00:52:01.200
Tarik Rukab: Now the idea! There, guys, you may be already familiar with it, but if not, we have recovery, service, vault and azure, and we create those. And that's how we run our backups, whether it's azure site, recovery, or there's backing up virtual machines where there's backing up file shares. Okay. So it's like a glorified storage account.
243
00:52:01.250 --> 00:52:13.800
Tarik Rukab: Okay, if we take a look here, back up easy recovery services, backup. Item. Okay, now, we didn't really mention anything about easy recovery services, right? So a lot of times that was gonna be as your site recovery.
244
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:34.970
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But from there new a/C recovery services involved. I can see that being applicable registering guys a lot of times the providers are registered, and that is something you can do in the Gui, but they made it clear they wanted it done in power. Shell. Okay. So at that point we would register the provider. But where I'm going with this is, we could probably eliminate some of these by process of elimination, right?
245
00:52:34.970 --> 00:52:51.220
Tarik Rukab: And that's what you would want to d0 0kay, and for the most part at that point, guys, we try to eliminate, or if you just know exactly, you know what I've already ran backups many times in natural, especially using power show. I know this, you know, by heart. Boom, boom, boom! Not a bad thing.
246
00:52:51.330 --> 00:52:55.650
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But my goal was to kind of show us what to expect here.
247
00:52:55.700 --> 00:53:08.100
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then, if you take a look on the right here just real quick. This is one of the ones I was able to kind of squeeze the explanation in. So keep in mind that with measure up. It's going to tell you why the 3 were correct.
248
00:53:08.100 --> 00:53:25.420
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then from there. Why, the other one's wrong. Okay. So that's gonna be the explanation. And then, matter of fact, a lot of times, guys. There's gonna be another little link here. This shows reference, and there should be a URL that would like to kind of go in depth and kind of do your own little deep dive on that exact scenario there.
249
00:53:26.770 --> 00:53:40.350
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so these are just a couple of things to expect there guys, in case i'm going to backtrack to where I was originally. I just wanted to kind of It's a kind of a show, some of the questions there because we were discussing them right then in there.
250
00:53:41.030 --> 00:53:51.930
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So with that being said, let's take a look at Microsoft. Learn. Now, this is where all the courseware is now. Okay in the books guys, you know, before we would.
251
00:53:51.930 --> 00:54:01.800
Tarik Rukab: They purchased them with skilled pipe. And but now they're all readily available online. That's that is something that started last year, but became a fish for October first.
252
00:54:02.050 --> 00:54:13.130
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and again we're focused on a Z one and 4. But I want to put in here another link, and you'll see Browse, all learning pads. Okay, so this is Microsoft. Learn.
253
00:54:13.130 --> 00:54:28.950
Tarik Rukab: and for the most part guys, it's just lessons that we can go through. Sometimes they provide us with some URL, so i'll see a little bit more into. Sometimes they have videos, and then, of course, we have the sandbox labs, so we can take a look at those in just a few moments here as well.
254
00:54:29.450 --> 00:54:42.860
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But this is Microsoft. Learn here and there, for the most part there's over 4,000 products in here. Okay, and right out the gate. Some of them might be been efficient, just like cloud computing Microsoft azure fundamentals, you know, right out the gate.
255
00:54:43.030 --> 00:54:50.040
Tarik Rukab: Okay, but we could always come in and do a search. Okay. So if we want to kind of do like easy 104 0r whatever course that we're
256
00:54:50.110 --> 00:54:55.810
Tarik Rukab: focused on. You know the search for it. And at that point these are the learning paths.
257
00:54:55.890 --> 00:55:03.400
Tarik Rukab: and it really is the book itself. Okay, so at that point they kind of have like a a prerequisite area here.
258
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.640
Tarik Rukab: and you just come in, and we kind of see, like
259
00:55:07.170 --> 00:55:25.590
Tarik Rukab: different chapters here for the most or modules here. Excuse me, okay. So at that point we could just come in here and you continue, or we see right there. We just kinda come down a little bit, and it kind of shows us the learning objectives here. Now we could click on these links, but the idea is to kind of come to continue here.
260
00:55:25.590 --> 00:55:30.090
Tarik Rukab: and this would be the pup. So it shows us the objectives once again.
261
00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:47.520
Tarik Rukab: and then prerequisites, which are none, because, you know, learning course for administration, and then from there you the actual portal. So this would be the material in the book, and there Sometimes it might just be a a couple of screenshots a lot of times. It's going to be a lot of information depending on what we select there.
262
00:55:47.660 --> 00:56:06.670
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then sometimes, what? Scroll down a lot further like, I said, depending on what we see there. But you can just kind of go through. Read the material, of course, and like I said, you know a lot of times I do have. Oh, this is available on Github. So if you want to kind of go and view that template in particular. As an example, you'd be able to.
263
00:56:07.430 --> 00:56:15.720
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then, you know, you just kinda keep doing. Continue there and then, Ultimately, guys, they give you objectives like so little videos to use and
264
00:56:15.820 --> 00:56:22.240
Tarik Rukab: things like that. Okay. But that is Microsoft learn which is really a lot of their courseware.
265
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:43.370
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so I kind of put it here. Guys just kind of give you a link to Microsoft. Learn in general, and then from there if you would prefer that app. I put the link in here as well. So you see that. Now keep mind that you are going to get a Pdf. Of this exact presentation, so all the links will be readily available, and I have Microsoft learn here. But I also have in the
266
00:56:43.400 --> 00:57:02.370
Tarik Rukab: picture itself, and then over here would be more for the stores. There, guys, if you want to kinda use the app, which I actually do kind of find kinda neat on my tablet there, and I think I like for me. I find it easier to use the app and use my tablet, and so my desktop, you know, to read the actual courseware.
267
00:57:02.410 --> 00:57:05.670
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But you know that's preference. That's just me.
268
00:57:06.250 --> 00:57:10.460
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So that's going to be a great way to get us started.
269
00:57:10.460 --> 00:57:36.350
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and from there there's roughly about 11 chapters in the book guys. So what I did here is, according to Microsoft, they kind of said, these are the areas that you truly want to focus on. Now, with that being said, it does not mean skip the other areas. It just means that this is kind of more the mean potato. This is really kind of the, you know, getting us in the trenches of where they're truly going to test you. Okay? So at that point
270
00:57:36.390 --> 00:57:42.180
Tarik Rukab: I just kind of put these now these are all a/C, one of 4. So they would take you straight into. You know the
271
00:57:42.210 --> 00:57:49.120
Tarik Rukab: course we're there. Okay, that first one was the one I just demo guys. So just kind of pick it up. Good to the second one there.
272
00:57:49.170 --> 00:57:55.150
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But you'll see there was the first one. Okay. So this is kind of the like managing identities here.
273
00:57:55.900 --> 00:58:01.310
Tarik Rukab: And at that point you'll see, continuing as your AD configuring users and groups.
274
00:58:02.130 --> 00:58:17.890
Tarik Rukab: Okay, the subscription configuring natural policy. So, like each one of these are individual lessons. Okay? And at that point I would just kind of start at the top guys and just kind of work my way down. So I would come to the very first one here configure as your Id
275
00:58:18.170 --> 00:58:26.920
Tarik Rukab: at that point, you know it has the objective. S0 0nce again. okay, the prerequisites. And then, of course, what we're going to see in the actual lesson here.
276
00:58:26.960 --> 00:58:42.510
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at that point it could just go straight to the introduction, which is really just gonna be another overview. Okay. But it does tell us what skills are measured in this section and what we should probably focus on. Okay. So here's some of the manage as your AD
277
00:58:42.510 --> 00:58:48.660
Tarik Rukab: objects. This could be very broad, you know users and groups, of course, but configuring self service, password reset.
278
00:58:48.770 --> 00:59:07.420
Tarik Rukab: And then from there configuring that your Id totally so that's something that's gonna be in the chapter here, and we just go next. And at that point it source sounds about azure. Id, of course, and you know some of the features, and we just kinda you know, Redo, it continue next, and then ultimately, it's gonna ask us questions as well.
279
00:59:07.420 --> 00:59:22.630
Tarik Rukab: hey? So the the books are fantastic guys. They really are, and they don't take very long, you know. They try to get straight to the key points here, so you'd be surprised how quickly you can go through the sections here. And then also, if you take a look at the top, you'll see like unit 5 0f 9.
280
00:59:22.630 --> 00:59:32.080
Tarik Rukab: So if I drop that down, it shows the previous lessons that we just took a look at, and then, of course, future ones. But if I need to backtrack for any reason that I most certainly can.
281
00:59:33.200 --> 00:59:37.450
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then you also see next and previous at the top here as well.
282
00:59:38.690 --> 00:59:59.590
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And this is kind of telling us about the premium licensing. You actually just a good little area here, guys, because like that self service password reset. Well, that will require a premium on licensing, and that could be directly testable as an example. Right? Okay. So this is a great little area here of kind of showing you what would be, you know, applicable to to premium one or premium to licensing with azure.
283
01:00:09.180 --> 01:00:30.940
Tarik Rukab: Specifically. Yes, Miles. Excellent question. There, yeah. Guys a lot of times when you see a table like that. Yeah, it's really beneficial a lot of times just for real world. But a lot of times they, I would say, an exam tips, so to speak. Yeah, a lot of times. That's something they're emphasizing on, and most likely a testful area. But I will tell you this guys from taking the exams, I firmly feel that
284
01:00:31.050 --> 01:00:51.860
Tarik Rukab: every bit of the material was in the easy one for book. It's just some of you have to put together. Sometimes you know it's like we get to networking. They're going to say, oh, this is a virtual network, and then, as you continue pushing forward. You're going to see a network security group. Then you're gonna see an application security group and you can see the firewall. It's all separate. So we need to understand how to bring all that together as well.
285
01:00:52.040 --> 01:01:06.060
Myles Brown: There was one question that I answered in the Q. And a. I just want to make sure i'm going to get your they said the az 104 certification does have any expiry date, and it's my understanding that everything's good for one year. Now all the role base
286
01:01:21.930 --> 01:01:29.160
Tarik Rukab: they do what they call an assessment or renewal exam. They're 100% free and a lot of times it's roughly about
287
01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:58.310
Tarik Rukab: gosh, Anywhere between 20 and maybe 40 questions. I think. Last one I took had, I think, 26 questions on it, and they're pretty straightforward. You can take them any time of day. You take them directly from your desktop. There's no scheduling, no going to a test center when they send you the email there to renew it. You could just click on it, and if you fell it, it's not a big deal. Guys You have to wait, I think 24 h. You can take it again if you felt again another 24 h. But
288
01:01:58.310 --> 01:02:14.210
Tarik Rukab: you know for the most part it's even a open book. Exam. So you know, just whenever you're ready, guys, you go in there with your browser, you know, maybe open up another one, and you know, use your information that you have available, whether it's, You know Google, whether it's the book, whatever it may be. But
289
01:02:34.060 --> 01:02:47.710
Tarik Rukab: gosh out of my 20 something questions, I think more than half of them were focused on apps and app service plans, which was just different for me. I'm like, oh, that so you really kind of never know what you're gonna get, and then
290
01:02:48.120 --> 01:03:00.450
Tarik Rukab: a lot of times, you know, if you take it again, you're gonna see some some of the same questions. But I think a lot of times you're going to throw new questions at you to, but it's all just random guys, and just whatever they generate. During that time
291
01:03:00.710 --> 01:03:08.160
Tarik Rukab: we're thinking it might be time to take like a short break.
292
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:10.220
Tarik Rukab: Hey, Everybody ready for 10.
293
01:03:10.990 --> 01:03:16.960
Okay, let's do that and let me bring up a timer here just to make sure we all stay on the same page. Here.
294
01:03:19.900 --> 01:03:24.430
Tarik Rukab: Okay, guys, let's take 10. Stretch our legs and the refill coffee or
295
01:03:24.520 --> 01:03:28.480
Tarik Rukab: whatnot, and then we'll reconvene in about 10 min. Okay.
296
01:03:31.560 --> 01:03:33.450
Tarik Rukab: Okay, guys, we'll talk to you soon.
297
01:13:21.350 --> 01:13:25.620
Myles Brown: Hey? Tark! Before we get started again.
298
01:13:25.650 --> 01:13:32.210
Myles Brown: There's a pretty good question in the chat asking about Ms. Learn. Is it completely free? Maybe you can talk to that.
299
01:13:49.460 --> 01:13:57.290
Myles Brown: you know, if you want to do the labs you have to have a lab environment, although those sandboxes can provide what you need for a lot of it. Right?
300
01:13:57.380 --> 01:14:12.470
Tarik Rukab: It can. It does have limitations, and sometimes you have to do it either through command, line or power show, and then somebody let you go in the portal.
301
01:14:12.480 --> 01:14:33.300
Myles Brown: you know. Maybe you can talk to the difference between, you know, trying to use Ms: Learn and do it all on your own versus taking the 4 day, you know. Instructor like training class, sure absolutely and welcome back everybody and absolutely guys. Now, there's always self-paced training, of course, and that's you know it does work for some people, and
302
01:14:33.300 --> 01:14:54.370
Tarik Rukab: you know, For the most part, guys, it is the same book that you would see, you know, in the class. But when you have instructor led the first of all you have other people in the class that you are going to communicate with and collaborate with, and a lot of things end up being discussions. You get a lot of real world scenarios which are very beneficial, and some really good advice sometimes from your peers.
303
01:14:54.370 --> 01:15:03.730
Tarik Rukab: But from there, you know, you're working with instructors that have been doing it for years, and can show you a lot of shortcuts. And when I say shortcut, you know, as far as administering.
304
01:15:03.730 --> 01:15:21.470
Tarik Rukab: you know best practices and things like that. But at that point what's really great about it, though, is you get the lecture. You get some really solid demonstration from the instructor as well, that are very beneficial, and then you follow it up with the labs. And to me the answer, everything you know. The sandbox is great, but when you have
305
01:15:21.470 --> 01:15:26.460
Tarik Rukab: access to the azure portal as a global administrator, and you can go in there and do whatever you want.
306
01:15:26.460 --> 01:15:56.460
Tarik Rukab: Now, of course you're gonna follow the lab steps, but you might want to put your own spin on it, and then you have access to labs 24 7 for 6 months, and to me, you know, I learn a lot from lecture guys, but I really really seem to kind of get my foundation hammer at home with the hands on. So I think the hands on experience there that you're going to achieve in the course, and 6 months after the course is priceless, in my opinion, and that's really your big difference, you know, working with your peers. And you know, Instructor lead. Typically, you know, an experts gonna
307
01:15:56.460 --> 01:16:10.220
Tarik Rukab: you through it. Give you plenty of recommendations, and then hear it see it, and then hammer home with your own hands on. Experience is really, you know, your your 3 effective learning methods for the most part there.
308
01:16:10.220 --> 01:16:26.620
Myles Brown: Yeah, and I would say it's also, you know you're devoting these 4 days to just learning azure.
309
01:16:26.620 --> 01:16:37.640
Myles Brown: Do my exam, you know, 4 weeks from now, and so i'm going to set off this much time every day. It it's it's difficult, because
310
01:16:37.690 --> 01:16:54.980
Tarik Rukab: yeah, and they say, you know, 4 weeks turn int0 8 weeks. Next thing you know, it's a year later, and oh, gosh! It's still on the back burner
311
01:16:55.170 --> 01:16:57.440
Myles Brown: for the
312
01:16:57.510 --> 01:17:13.410
Myles Brown: easy one t0 4 class. We got a very good discount that comes with the exam voucher for free, and the the practice exam. So that's a really good deal. We got another promo i'll talk about as well, but but if you are trying to do it self paste.
313
01:17:13.440 --> 01:17:28.360
Tarik Rukab: I think that you've got some pretty good resources coming up that you're going to talk about right? Yeah. And so if you are guys, absolutely, we've got you covered there as well. I mean, we really hope that you join us. And, as my was saying, guys, it is a great deal. And guys, I i'm i'm an instructor. I'm not a sales person.
314
01:17:28.390 --> 01:17:42.430
Tarik Rukab: But I've been doing this for 25 years, and I've never seen a deal like this ever so like I said. You know You may want to take advantage of it, you know, to talk to your higher up or invest in yourself. It's a fantastic deal, guys. It really is.
315
01:17:42.750 --> 01:18:04.580
Tarik Rukab: Okay, let's get back to the fun stuff here, though, guys. And okay. So we left off. We were kind of focused on Microsoft Laur: some really great great questions there as well. And, you guys, for the most part, I put a lot of the urls in here that will get you the right area for Microsoft learn, but like. So this is not the entire book here. This is just kind of more the
316
01:18:04.590 --> 01:18:16.020
Tarik Rukab: area that Microsoft wants us to focus on, and where it relates to the easy one it for exam. So I would say, You know you wanna definitely channel a lot of effort and energy into this section here.
317
01:18:16.260 --> 01:18:27.550
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and this is where they break it down. So in here we kind of take a look at the percentages and go back up to the previous slide. Real quick. I built this slide
318
01:18:28.160 --> 01:18:29.570
Tarik Rukab: on this
319
01:18:29.610 --> 01:18:44.480
Tarik Rukab: concept here. Okay, so as far as the manage as your identity and governance. Okay, so that's going to be 15 t0 20% of the exam and with users groups as your policy. Okay, role-based access control you know things like that
320
01:18:44.480 --> 01:18:57.510
implementing and managing storage. Now that's gonna be storage accounts and azure, and they're gonna test you on the different types, you know, like Blob storage or azure file shares in blob management, you know, as far as life cycles, and
321
01:18:57.540 --> 01:19:06.210
Tarik Rukab: like tears, you know, like you have a hot tier, a cold tier, or hiding tier, so they're kind of testing. Some of the life cycle management of that
322
01:19:06.210 --> 01:19:34.790
Tarik Rukab: deploy manage azure, compute resources. Now, that is a broad area as well compute. Resources, of course, are virtual machines, but we also have virtual machine scale sets. We have a availability set, so that can be a broad area as well. And then from there we also have, like app service plans that we can build applications on top of, and the App Service plan provides computing resources, and then from there we also have managing virtual networking. And you'll see that's 25 to
323
01:19:34.790 --> 01:19:44.980
Tarik Rukab: 30% of the exam so a good chunk right there in the middle, and when we get into virtual networking guys, that's actually a few chapters in the Ec. 10. For book.
324
01:19:44.980 --> 01:20:03.210
Tarik Rukab: So, like Chapter 4, we get into virtual networking. But then, chapter 5, we'll get into like peering and user-defined routes. Chapter 6 gets into load balancing in the application gateway, so that instead of to be in one chapter is actually 3 chapters from right?
325
01:20:03.210 --> 01:20:24.530
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So you want to kind of use that as your guide to like. I said, You really want to read the whole book. You want to do all that. This is the way to guarantee success, you know. You cannot take shortcuts when you're preparing for an example, and like I said, everything that you learn is, you know better in yourself as well. I just happen to have this focused on what would be the more important areas.
326
01:20:26.320 --> 01:20:39.770
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then from there. This is a great little source here, and Guys also at the break. I went ahead and put the Pdf. Of the presentation in there. So if you kind of want to follow along, please feel free.
327
01:20:40.280 --> 01:20:45.080
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and what I put in here is here's the a/C. One and 4 book to start out with.
328
01:20:45.180 --> 01:20:58.160
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so if we kind of click on that, that's this is gonna take us right back to what we've seen a couple of times. Now. Okay, so this is more focus on the easy one of 4 with Microsoft. Okay. But here this is fantastic.
329
01:20:58.300 --> 01:21:12.120
Tarik Rukab: Now, not all of us have access to azure. Okay. So Microsoft put together what they call interactive labs which are video based. But they kind of walk you through what you would do in real work.
330
01:21:12.750 --> 01:21:32.630
Tarik Rukab: They talk to you and kind of guide you through, and I find them pretty neat guys. Now again. I would prefer to go in the portal directly, you know, and do my real hands on. But you know not all. Not all of us have that luxury. So you'll see in here that there are literally 17 walk through labs here, and the idea is like the very first one here is managing azure
331
01:21:32.630 --> 01:21:38.120
Tarik Rukab: active directory identities. So if we select that you'll see that it
332
01:21:38.220 --> 01:21:47.600
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But it's interactive, so the idea is it can bring up like the portal to this interactive lab simulation for the lab. Manage as your active directory identities
333
01:21:47.820 --> 01:21:55.210
Tarik Rukab: to navigate this interactive lab simulation in this lab.
334
01:21:55.390 --> 01:22:02.640
Tarik Rukab: But they tell us what we're gonna do in here. So the idea is, if I've never created an azure, Id user right or an AD group.
335
01:22:02.720 --> 01:22:22.650
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so it's going to kind of walk me through that problem.
336
01:22:22.790 --> 01:22:39.560
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And the idea is you would click on that real world. You would type as your Id to search for it right what you do you could select.
337
01:22:39.850 --> 01:22:43.530
Tarik Rukab: and at that point it's walking you through
338
01:22:43.830 --> 01:22:49.700
Tarik Rukab: under man. Next click the display name of your user select properties.
339
01:22:49.810 --> 01:23:09.800
Tarik Rukab: Click the edit button and then select settings. Ensure your usage. Location is set and then navigate back to the users blade. Okay, so they're kind of just walking you through how you would really create a user or how you would identify a user now, what they're doing here is they're on the user properties of the user blade itself.
340
01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:32.150
Tarik Rukab: They're identifying usage location. Now, one thing's an azure whenever we create users, of course, that allows them to log in and authenticate to azure. However, in order to get a license, they have to have a usage location filled out, and that's one of the reasons why they're actually kind of walking us through this process here and that point. You close it out. And then the idea is you're gonna create a new user
341
01:23:32.180 --> 01:23:42.460
Tarik Rukab: for this new user and then select, create new scroll down, and it just kind of walks it through the process, as you see. I'm not really going to do the whole thing here, guys, it's
342
01:23:43.030 --> 01:23:53.660
Tarik Rukab: brief dem0 0f it. So if you don't have access to azure, this at least will help it kind of visually. And you know, kind of give you the idea how you can administer certain things in azure.
343
01:23:53.670 --> 01:24:09.500
Tarik Rukab: Okay, I'm gonna go and close it out, guys. But that was just a the tip of an iceberg of one line out, and there are 17 0f them here. And so this is just a way of, you know, at least visually seeing you know the steps if you cannot do them in an actual portal.
344
01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:12.430
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so.
345
01:24:12.740 --> 01:24:26.200
Tarik Rukab: And
346
01:24:26.580 --> 01:24:27.330
we. So
347
01:24:35.030 --> 01:24:38.420
Tarik Rukab: I just give you a heads up there all the lab steps and all that.
348
01:24:39.310 --> 01:24:54.080
Tarik Rukab: Okay? Then there's also an exam video here, just like I said, we put together a really good package guys, any resource that we could think of. We just do in here. You know, we figured there's no way you could have enough. Right? Okay. So this just a little exam. Prep. Video, and
349
01:24:54.080 --> 01:25:05.000
Tarik Rukab: she'll walk you through, for example, for the azure administrative port. So many
350
01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:15.990
Tarik Rukab: and then right in here 2 ways to prepare self-paced or instructor lead, and this kind of takes us right back to the the same objectives that we saw a moment ag0 0r really t0 0pen up today.
351
01:25:16.110 --> 01:25:29.790
Tarik Rukab: And right in here, guys, you're kind of see your skills measured once again for the fifteenth time today, and then from there we see self-paced instructor lead so the idea of self-paced is second of the book. Here again.
352
01:25:30.220 --> 01:25:41.810
Tarik Rukab: and then instructor lead it's gonna kind of give you more of a what the Microsoft administrator certification would be okay. And then from there, you know, kind of get more into the certification there.
353
01:25:42.220 --> 01:25:47.480
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so I might help you kind of decide how you want to prepare for for the most part there.
354
01:25:49.750 --> 01:26:06.360
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then we also have the exam sandbox. Now, this is not the sandbox for the hands on. Okay, this is kind of more to simulate what the exam would feel like here. Okay. So this is something kind of more of a
355
01:26:06.360 --> 01:26:10.100
Tarik Rukab: Pearson view entity here if we will.
356
01:26:10.860 --> 01:26:22.740
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at this point this kind of simulating what the real exam would feel like. So your first going to come in. You have your agreement here. Okay? And then you'll see next on the bottom, right?
357
01:26:23.440 --> 01:26:29.240
And then at that point you'll see. Now, this is not a real exam. But this is what it would feel like guys when you do take it.
358
01:26:29.320 --> 01:26:43.910
Tarik Rukab: And so they'll tell you how many questions. Now, real world, you're probably gonna see, you know. 40 50, you know questions there. Okay? And then how much time now they Won't Give you 8 h. But but this is, you know, simulating the exam here in the passing score.
359
01:26:43.980 --> 01:26:48.090
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so that for you next. and
360
01:26:48.350 --> 01:26:56.790
Tarik Rukab: they're kind of telling you it does do. People were shortcuts how to be the so they kind of get the information of what to expect on the exam here. They're going to tell you about the case studies here.
361
01:26:57.350 --> 01:27:05.860
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then also how you can review and comment. So they're gonna kind of tell you about it, right? And of course you wanna make sure you read over that.
362
01:27:06.070 --> 01:27:14.940
Tarik Rukab: and then from there you'll see right to start the exam. So this is really close to what it really looks like, guys, you know, and then you go start exam.
363
01:27:15.490 --> 01:27:19.020
Tarik Rukab: and then we'll go next again. So you but you'll see the timers on.
364
01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:32.300
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And the first part they're going to ask is, you know, just kind of silly questions, just kind of identify. You know what the exam would feel like. Okay, so at that point it's multiple toys here. Okay, and
365
01:27:33.200 --> 01:27:48.660
Tarik Rukab: they're gonna to also select the radio button there for which one's gonna be the correct answer. David. In here, guys, they're just kind of showing you, you know, Bell or Rip, this has nothing to do with easy one or 4 per say right, David. The idea is that you would answer, of course, and then go next.
366
01:27:48.710 --> 01:28:04.100
Tarik Rukab: And they're gonna start off now. Ultimately they actually do give us some real questions here, case i'm going to kind of push forward this real quick. So you'll see banana apple. So right now it's just kinda this is what the test would feel like, right? No pertinent information here. Okay. But
367
01:28:04.100 --> 01:28:23.000
Tarik Rukab: at this point you'll see inc incomplete question. Okay. So i'm just gonna go next there. But here's like a nice driving drop one right? So that point they're kind of showing us, you know. Where would you drop, you know, and line these up accordingly? Right? So it kind of gives you an idea how you would take the exam now again. Nothing to do with azure quite yet.
368
01:28:23.260 --> 01:28:33.520
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then and so from there you can. I can drag them over if you want to. And then the correct spot would be the idea of how to answer the question.
369
01:28:34.790 --> 01:28:53.620
Tarik Rukab: Okay, but ultimately that you get into some real questions. Guys, at some point like this is creating a sandwich here at Mayo, and it goes. How would you do it in that preferred method. Okay, but like, I said, ultimately, they actually do start asking real questions. Okay. So this one's actually like a real i'm not gonna say a real test question. But more, you know.
370
01:28:53.620 --> 01:28:55.830
Tarik Rukab: windows based at least
371
01:28:55.840 --> 01:29:06.740
Tarik Rukab: okay. And this is one of the ones that would be like a hotspot. So memorial. Tell me sometimes you just have to click on something, and it could be just like that. It could be this area, you know. It could be a driving, you know, drop down. But this is
372
01:29:06.790 --> 01:29:14.870
Tarik Rukab: more of kind of like one of the hotspot questions. If you little i'm not really reading the question. I'm just kind of demonstrating what to expect there.
373
01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:30.810
Tarik Rukab: Okay, but you know, Oops, i'm a little too fast here. But here's another one. So this kind of like one of the dropdown ones. But these are more realistic questions. Now, again, not actual test questions, but you know they're talking about azure in particular or windows in particular.
374
01:29:31.820 --> 01:29:33.930
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So just kind of give you an idea
375
01:29:34.290 --> 01:29:46.160
Tarik Rukab: what to expect on the exam. Okay. And this kind of matches up with some of the things we discussed earlier as far as the drag and drop the radio buttons, the drop downs when we were kind of going over the strategies there.
376
01:29:46.290 --> 01:29:51.710
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then this is like another hotspot one. See how that one just has the green check on there now. So
377
01:29:52.120 --> 01:30:21.450
Tarik Rukab: okay, so just you know, like, I said, we put together anything we could think of guys. So we're really hoping that some of this is going to be very beneficial to you. Okay? And then, after that we have an in the assessment exam. Now, the idea here is that you can. This is just a questionnaire. Now this is directly from Microsoft. So this is not measure up. This is available online for free, and for most part this can be Q. A. So they really will have drag and drop. So it really won't have the drop downs or anything like that, so I wouldn't say it simulates the exam.
378
01:30:21.850 --> 01:30:31.460
Tarik Rukab: However, is it beneficial to learn? And you know, understand some of the concepts of a/C when it for absolutely okay. So just a little practice exam with 50 questions.
379
01:30:31.660 --> 01:30:44.130
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And from there we have a sample. Q. A. As well. Okay? And this is just some sample questions that Microsoft put online. Okay? And you just see
380
01:30:44.330 --> 01:30:46.550
Tarik Rukab: question, one question, 2.
381
01:30:46.630 --> 01:30:58.930
Tarik Rukab: So it's not really simulating the exam, but like I said, anything that we thought could be beneficial. We put in here. Okay, and you know the more you read, the better it's gonna be. And you know you might find some question here that
382
01:30:58.960 --> 01:31:00.190
Tarik Rukab: you know may help
383
01:31:00.340 --> 01:31:09.340
Tarik Rukab: get you over the exam. You know it's a great feeling when you pass, and if you pass by one question sometimes it could be just one of these things that made that difference, you know.
384
01:31:09.820 --> 01:31:21.700
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And of course they're also gonna, you know. Give you the reason why it's correct and all that. And then you also see that it gives you a
385
01:31:22.830 --> 01:31:31.360
Tarik Rukab: okay, and then after that, the exam details once again. And so this is what we started with. So this just kind of review here.
386
01:31:32.250 --> 01:31:49.780
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So the objectives once again it's going to kind of make line of that. But like, so just wanted to all on one little screen for us here. Okay, so this is a great slide Here, guys. All right. So slide 13. Be all over it, all right. And then from there
387
01:31:49.970 --> 01:31:54.220
Tarik Rukab: I have this broken down per module. Okay. So there's 11.
388
01:31:54.650 --> 01:32:07.050
Tarik Rukab: Well, chapters, really, they used to call them modules guys. Okay? So we have. I'm still gonna go with the term module here, since I have it in the square boxes. And this is going to be basically an assessment exam
389
01:32:07.090 --> 01:32:33.040
Tarik Rukab: or a questionnaire. Really, I should say, exam for each module. So when you do reach Chapter one as an example. you might want to come in afterwards, and then read the questions here that relate directly to that chapter, and you know, identify what you learned and what you put together is to You're assessing yourself here. How good did I read this module and learn right. So if you're doing self, Page, you definitely want to make sure you test yourself right.
390
01:32:33.050 --> 01:32:40.330
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So I have that broken up into for? Oh, it's 11 sections here, one for each chapter.
391
01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:47.060
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And then finally, this is where we can have our hands on experience.
392
01:32:47.120 --> 01:32:56.670
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So in this one. Now, this slide here only have one lab. Okay. But let me jump a few slides here just real quick, just to kind of show you.
393
01:32:56.710 --> 01:33:00.600
Tarik Rukab: Now, i'm going to go down quite a bit here.
394
01:33:01.650 --> 01:33:04.710
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then, right after our Q. A. Session.
395
01:33:04.950 --> 01:33:12.670
Tarik Rukab: So we're not really going to cover this as far as the presentation. So i'm just gonna kind of Well, I guess technically I am right now. I just want to show you this real quick.
396
01:33:12.690 --> 01:33:29.420
Tarik Rukab: Now I put at the end of the presentation. Basically I put a/C: so right after Q. A: you're gonna see a one or 4 sandbox. So these are the URL for every single a sandbox that is applicable to a Z one 0 4 0kay?
397
01:33:29.450 --> 01:33:48.370
Tarik Rukab: Alright. And then you'll see in there like automating azure tasks with power cell. Okay? And at that point, you know, these are all in all. Okay, every one of these. And I have a handful of slides here for you and like, I said, some are going to be powershell. Some are going to be portal. Okay? And there's our promotion. Okay. But I want you to be aware of that.
398
01:33:48.370 --> 01:33:53.260
Okay, and matter of fact, guys, there's roughly about 5 0f them on each one of these slides here
399
01:33:59.880 --> 01:34:08.960
Tarik Rukab: that's almost 50 labs. If we're taking a look at there just to kind of give you a heads up. Okay? So that was from Slide 29 all the way to
400
01:34:12.620 --> 01:34:16.640
Tarik Rukab: slide 37 0kay. So tons of hands on there.
401
01:34:17.070 --> 01:34:29.460
Tarik Rukab: Okay, now I'm gonna go back to my original slide. There, I just wanted to kind of point that out. And like, I said, we anything we could think of guys, we put it in here, and once again we really hope that you find it beneficial.
402
01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:33.310
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So now, when I come back to the original slide, and
403
01:34:33.390 --> 01:34:40.460
Tarik Rukab: right here I have activate sandbox. Okay, then I also have a URL underneath. Let's go and select this one just to take a quick look.
404
01:34:41.080 --> 01:34:51.380
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so we first come in. Some will look different guys. Sometimes you might see, like Powershell command line portal. So sometimes they'll give you a choice. Sometimes they do not.
405
01:34:51.400 --> 01:34:55.880
Tarik Rukab: Okay. But here you're gonna see activate sandbox. And if I select that
406
01:34:56.360 --> 01:35:15.520
Tarik Rukab: you're gonna see, create a new virtual machine. So they're showing me the steps here. Okay, but what's very important about this is right. Now, if I just bring up another Tab and I type in, you know. Portal dot azure. It's gonna go to my real F. Okay. So whenever you're bringing up the sandbox guys, you need to make sure that you use this link right here
407
01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:29.430
Tarik Rukab: with each perspective sandbox line. So when I select this you'll see it's gonna come up. And at this point. It's gonna go ahead, and you know, require my permissions. Okay, because it's going to be my profile and things like that. I'm gonna go and accept it.
408
01:35:30.240 --> 01:35:44.120
Tarik Rukab: But at this point, even though i'm using my Microsoft, Id to log into this sandbox. It is not interfering with the real azure tenant that I belong t0 0kay and matter of fact, we take a look at the very top here
409
01:35:44.530 --> 01:36:04.970
Tarik Rukab: at the very top, right? We're gonna see Microsoft learn sandbox. So when they say sandbox is sandbox completely meaning it's isolated. So as an example, guys like, I have my own subscriptions I use to teach, but I also, you know i'm a part of exit certified that is, azure as well. So this is not interfering with either One of those tenants is the idea
410
01:36:05.150 --> 01:36:10.070
completely sandbox from them. So anything we do here stay right here in the sandbox.
411
01:36:10.200 --> 01:36:26.580
Tarik Rukab: but you'll see that it does give us an actual portal to work with right? So at this point I could come in. Now. It's not gonna let you do everything. But in this one it wanted us to create a virtual machine, so I could come in, and I could go to the end here, or I could just type it at the top. Whatever I feel appropriate here
412
01:36:27.610 --> 01:36:34.590
Tarik Rukab: and create the virtual machine. Okay, so at that point this is the sandbox here, and you would walk through the lamb.
413
01:36:36.420 --> 01:36:39.060
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then also, I'm going to go and sign up for
414
01:36:40.210 --> 01:36:46.650
Tarik Rukab: and sign out. Actually. okay. But that is the sandbox there, guys, this one kind of show you that real quick. And
415
01:36:47.220 --> 01:37:01.500
Tarik Rukab: so like, I said, You know we've had the book for you. There. We've got some Q. A. We've got the interactive lab. We've got the sandbox lab. So tons of resources at your disposal here to hopefully, once again be successful with the actual exam.
416
01:37:02.470 --> 01:37:10.250
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and like, I said, the steps are gonna be right here in the book as well, and it walks to do it with screenshots and everything there does. Okay, so
417
01:37:11.730 --> 01:37:18.850
Tarik Rukab: just additional resources there. But that's the step by step, and, like I said, with the screenshots, and just kind of follow it to a T there
418
01:37:18.870 --> 01:37:27.640
and then. The matter of fact, the very next one guys gonna have you remote desktop to it. So they have you deploy the virtual machine and then Rdp: to actually test the connectivity.
419
01:37:29.540 --> 01:37:31.390
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so
420
01:37:34.070 --> 01:37:36.040
Tarik Rukab: those are the resources.
421
01:37:36.970 --> 01:37:54.700
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then finally, we get t0 0ur study guide here. Okay. Now, as I mentioned earlier, we use measure up as the approved study guide from Microsoft and the recommended and with venture up guys, they're typically go through about $99. I think right now they actually do have mon sell like 3% off, or something like that.
422
01:37:54.720 --> 01:38:05.530
Tarik Rukab: Okay, we als0 0ffered them as well. And right up the gate guys, we have them for 50 bucks. Okay. So I have the URL, the bottom, and then also in the picture here. So if you want to kind of come and take it, Look.
423
01:38:05.560 --> 01:38:18.240
Tarik Rukab: you come purchase them here, or you could go to measure up guys. But might as well save yourself about 25, maybe 50 bucks depending on whether that 20% special still running or not. And you're gonna get the exact same study guide.
424
01:38:18.620 --> 01:38:22.670
Tarik Rukab: And again, I do like the measure ups guys. And to be perfectly candid.
425
01:38:22.760 --> 01:38:39.580
Tarik Rukab: sometimes actually feel like they may be a smidge harder than the exam, but that's not a bad thing. They're preparing you literally to think out the box and really be ready for the exams because they can be pretty tough guys. I you know I'd be the first to tell you. I've never taken it easy. Microsoft Exam: in my career, right? But
426
01:38:39.580 --> 01:38:43.310
Tarik Rukab: so the more prepared you are, you know the better that it's going to be
427
01:38:45.800 --> 01:38:52.210
Tarik Rukab: okay. So at this point we went through some of the questions. There, Case I'm gonna kind of make a lot of those now.
428
01:38:53.700 --> 01:39:19.880
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and now, guys, we'll just kind of do kind of a brief, technical, deep dive here. We clearly won't have time to cover a 4 day Class guys need a lot of time here, but we'll kind of g0 0ver a few things here to kind of help you get prepared for the exam, and as we see the objectives here now, when they talk about creating users and groups. Okay, right up the gate guys, we have really 3 types of users. Now, if I go in azure, Id and I create a user in there that is called a cloud identity.
429
01:39:19.880 --> 01:39:21.120
Tarik Rukab: Okay.
430
01:39:21.310 --> 01:39:43.630
Tarik Rukab: From there we have azure AD connect, which is something we can download, put on Prem. And if we want to extend our ads, our active Directory domain services on prem into azure, we most certainly can, so that we can deploy as your AD connect and to synchronize the identities that are on prem. So you know your regular domain accounts
431
01:39:43.630 --> 01:40:01.750
Tarik Rukab: into azure, and they become hybrid identities. So at that point you have the best of both worlds. You come in on prem user username log, your username and password to log in. And then, whatever you need to access cloud resources, you will use that exact same username, that exact same password.
432
01:40:01.750 --> 01:40:07.010
Tarik Rukab: Hence single sign on all right. So those are going to be hybrid identities.
433
01:40:07.050 --> 01:40:25.090
Tarik Rukab: From there we can invite users like external users. Okay? And basically they would be external users. So we have cloud identities, which means they are cloud all so if I create you directly in azure, Id you will not have an account on prem right, so that would be considered a cloud, only I did.
434
01:40:25.340 --> 01:40:35.290
Tarik Rukab: If we use as your Id connect to synchronize them into, as you have the best of both worlds. You're on prem and your azure same username, same password, single sign on
435
01:40:35.400 --> 01:40:40.710
Tarik Rukab: hybrid identity. And then, of course, external users we can invite. And so we have
436
01:40:40.840 --> 01:40:45.780
Tarik Rukab: cloud only hybrid identities and external identities. So really, 3 times.
437
01:40:45.810 --> 01:41:05.650
Tarik Rukab: Now, when we get into groups well, there's really 2 types of groups. We have security groups and security groups are going to be primarily for everything we discuss in 104. So we talk about role-based access control, access control in particular. So really security is what we're thinking with security, groups, since its name, right policies, but mainly permissions and access control.
438
01:41:06.030 --> 01:41:28.650
Tarik Rukab: because we also have Microsoft 365 groups that we can create an AD as well. But the Microsoft groups are more for collaboration, more for projects not really assigning permission, so to speak. I'm not saying we can, but the idea behind the 2 types of groups. Right? Okay. Some more for email purposes and collaboration purposes of what you're gonna think of the Microsoft.
439
01:41:29.080 --> 01:41:44.030
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And then from there they talk about managing user and group properties. S0 0rganizing users place them in groups, of course, for permission purposes and our back role, base access control, and then, as far as managing device settings what they would test you on, there
440
01:41:44.030 --> 01:42:01.230
Tarik Rukab: would be the fact that users can register their own devices and join in.
441
01:42:01.270 --> 01:42:06.580
Tarik Rukab: We can use azure. Id connect to join all the on-prem devices to a your Id as well
442
01:42:06.630 --> 01:42:24.890
Tarik Rukab: so that's something they may test you all on. And then also the device settings. We can dictate how many devices that a user can actually register. So do we want them to register their desktop, their tablet, their phone, you know, up to maybe 5, maybe even up t0 100 devices depending on that individual. That's quite a bit. But you have that luxury.
443
01:42:25.520 --> 01:42:38.700
Tarik Rukab: Okay, as far as performing bulk updates. Now, that is something that you would typically do with Powershell. So, Lot, one of the things that actually does allow us to do is allows us to download our users to a comma separated value
444
01:42:38.700 --> 01:42:52.960
Tarik Rukab: format, and then we could use that with Powershell we could manipulate properties in mass at that point. We can also do bulk in by, you know, for external users and things like that as well. Okay, but a lot of times when we think about we are going to think, you know Powershell.
445
01:42:53.620 --> 01:43:01.550
Tarik Rukab: From there we have self service password reset. Now on that couple of things they may test you on. There. Now, one users must register for that.
446
01:43:01.550 --> 01:43:24.360
Tarik Rukab: A lot like they do with Mfa from there will require a premium one license as an example as well. And if you think about self, self-service pass for reset huge and real world, guys, you know, you know I I sort of my career as a help desk support technician years ago, in the early nineties and in Guys for what I recall, that was a long time ago, but I swear
447
01:43:24.360 --> 01:43:37.870
Tarik Rukab: I felt like 80% of my job was resetting passwords. You know what I mean. So when you think about having this readily available. No more calls to the help desk, you know, allowing us to kind of focus on more important things that is huge for real world.
448
01:43:37.970 --> 01:43:40.410
Tarik Rukab: Okay? And as far as our back.
449
01:43:40.530 --> 01:43:51.180
Tarik Rukab: Now this is rule based access control again. Something I do want to convey about this is they will test you on role based access control.
450
01:43:51.250 --> 01:43:58.340
Tarik Rukab: And now there's a lot to it, though. So to try to memorize every single group guys is not really going to be possible.
451
01:44:02.250 --> 01:44:12.420
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so something I do want to show you here, though, and I think most of us are probably already aware of this. But believe it or not, a lot of people are not okay and really what it pulls down to
452
01:44:12.630 --> 01:44:20.990
Tarik Rukab: in as we have 2 sets of our back a role based access control. Okay, now.
453
01:44:21.320 --> 01:44:31.770
Tarik Rukab: as your AD is, for all is the identity service for all Microsoft Cloud. Okay. So whether it's azure, whether it's Microsoft 3 65, where there's dynamics, whatever it may be.
454
01:44:31.820 --> 01:44:43.290
Tarik Rukab: if you're using like endpoint manager with Microsoft and you see those users there. They're as your AD users, right? Okay, so we have 2 areas for our back.
455
01:44:43.430 --> 01:44:46.580
Tarik Rukab: Now. One, if I come into as your AD here
456
01:44:46.870 --> 01:44:58.170
Tarik Rukab: right here in the Azure Active Directory delay, we're gonna see roles and administrators right under manage here, and when I select that, we see a tremendous amount of roles.
457
01:44:58.290 --> 01:45:04.950
Tarik Rukab: now these are built in roles that already have pre-configured permissions, and for the most part you're going to see quite a few of them in here.
458
01:45:05.170 --> 01:45:10.620
Tarik Rukab: Now, what I want to show you Here is the role that we see in azure a. D. Or for all cloud
459
01:45:10.780 --> 01:45:26.390
Tarik Rukab: meaning. This is not just for azure here. This is for Microsoft dynamics. So, as an example, where we see the sharepoint admin here absolutely where we see the exchange admin in here. Absolutely. Okay. So
460
01:45:26.490 --> 01:45:27.860
Tarik Rukab: this is more.
461
01:45:28.230 --> 01:45:30.590
Tarik Rukab: far back for all cloud
462
01:45:30.800 --> 01:45:32.340
Tarik Rukab: in the Microsoft world.
463
01:45:32.570 --> 01:45:52.290
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So if we take a look here, we see quite a few roles and guys are so many we can't clearly cover them all okay. But we don't see anything about azure resources in here. I don't see anything about virtual machines. I don't see anything about kubernetes in here containers network. None of that. All right, none of that.
464
01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:57.030
Tarik Rukab: So it doesn't really in here we're again. We're focused on azure
465
01:45:57.270 --> 01:46:14.950
Tarik Rukab: it admin roles for all cloud. Microsoft 365 in particular. Case it like there's the teams. That's an example. Okay, there's a sharepoint Administrator Skype for business Administrator: still anything about kubernetes Still, don't see anything about storage accounts. Key. Vol: None of that stuff.
466
01:46:14.950 --> 01:46:21.410
Tarik Rukab: All right. So these roles have absolutely nothing to do with the resources that we deploy now.
467
01:46:21.750 --> 01:46:23.930
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So
468
01:46:24.080 --> 01:46:30.690
Tarik Rukab: this is the first set of our back. Okay, that I wanted to show you, and then also real quick. If we click on any of these roles
469
01:46:31.320 --> 01:46:33.620
Tarik Rukab: we can go to description.
470
01:46:33.860 --> 01:46:40.250
Tarik Rukab: and it's going to tell us what permission the role does provide. Okay, so you'll see role permissions here.
471
01:46:40.490 --> 01:46:43.980
Tarik Rukab: and you have that point where there's read and basic read permissions.
472
01:46:44.570 --> 01:47:00.100
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so can tell us exactly what you know. Kind of give us a description of what level of access, which is nice. Okay, but that's the first set of all that. Okay? So from there, what I want to do now is close this out now just to reiterate that was an azure AD.
473
01:47:00.100 --> 01:47:09.280
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So what i'm gonna do now is come t0 0ver to my resource groups here. and I I have a resource group. Excuse me, called Test Rg.
474
01:47:09.420 --> 01:47:13.920
Tarik Rukab: So when I select this and we come here.
475
01:47:14.110 --> 01:47:22.930
Tarik Rukab: we're going to see a different blade. We're going to see access control. I am in parentheses. Identity. Access management is what that stands for.
476
01:47:22.970 --> 01:47:30.770
Tarik Rukab: So when we select this, and we go to roles here, completely different set of our back.
477
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:47.200
Tarik Rukab: This is more for the resources that we deploy in azure. Okay, so we can deploy obviously network storage accounts, virtual machines. Okay, so we're gonna see owner, contributor and reader, right out the gate here.
478
01:47:47.200 --> 01:47:59.520
Tarik Rukab: Okay, now, owners kind of like full control guys, contributors kind of like a modified permission within Tfs, you know. Read right type thing there. Okay. But as we continue pushing down, we see so many built in roles at this point.
479
01:47:59.700 --> 01:48:19.500
Tarik Rukab: Okay. And now we're gonna start seeing more about azure resources as we kind of come down here right?
480
01:48:19.590 --> 01:48:22.160
Tarik Rukab: Okay. So at that point Kubernetes.
481
01:48:23.290 --> 01:48:25.120
Tarik Rukab: Yeah, you see, you
482
01:48:25.400 --> 01:48:38.190
Tarik Rukab: compute section in there, as well like it more oriented to the resources that we deploy. So be aware that there's actually 2 sets of our back. Okay, one specific to azure cloud. And that's the as your AD roles.
483
01:48:38.510 --> 01:48:43.670
Tarik Rukab: One more specific to the resources that we deploy using a subscription in a
484
01:48:43.960 --> 01:48:51.080
Tarik Rukab: Okay, so that point, guys, you're gonna see about virtual machines in here, and all that good stuff as well. Databases okay. And
485
01:48:52.050 --> 01:48:54.830
Tarik Rukab: but you see, there's so many
486
01:48:55.350 --> 01:49:05.820
Tarik Rukab: right? Okay, so like I said, You know there's quite a bit to it like Here's virtual machine contributors an example so that would allow somebody to, you know, make changes to a Vm. That has been deployed.
487
01:49:06.280 --> 01:49:09.210
Tarik Rukab: Okay, and then we can also do view here as well.
488
01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:28.640
Tarik Rukab: and it kind of shows you what the permissions are here als0 0kay. So they give us a lot to work with guys and give us, you know, some areas to kind of help us identify what the role is. A lot of times. You can also come under the eye here, and sometimes it will give you a little bit more insight as well. Not always the case, but sometimes it will, and the I is actually for information, by the way.
489
01:49:28.750 --> 01:49:31.350
Myles Brown: So so, Tari, what this?
490
01:49:31.370 --> 01:49:33.350
Myles Brown: What what would you say like.
491
01:49:33.360 --> 01:49:39.460
Myles Brown: How much do I need to know? Like I can't possibly be expected to memorize all those roles
492
01:49:54.010 --> 01:50:06.890
Tarik Rukab: at the end of the chapter? Typically, they will say exactly what roles that would relate to that kind of like the chart that we were discussing earlier miles. So I would say, focus on the roles that you see in the book in particular.
493
01:50:07.120 --> 01:50:36.760
Tarik Rukab: and that should be a good starting point there, and a good guy, because you're right. You cannot know them all. It is actually impossible. But the good news is at the end of each chapter. A lot of times they show you what role relates to that product. So when you get to the creating virtual machines as an example, they'll show you like the Vm. Contributor, and you get to network and you'll see the network contributor and something, you know. Now, that's a contributor a couple of times. That really seems to be one of the ones they focus on just to kind of give you a heads up there now. They're not going to ask you questions where
494
01:50:37.560 --> 01:50:41.330
Myles Brown: it's the name of a role, and they've got 5 0f them that are kind of.
495
01:50:41.430 --> 01:50:53.500
Myles Brown: you know, similar, but one of them is right, and the other ones are wrong like they're not going to ask you those kinds of questions where you need
496
01:50:53.610 --> 01:50:57.000
Tarik Rukab: it sometimes. It could even be a part of one of the scenarios like a
497
01:50:57.000 --> 01:51:13.790
Tarik Rukab: and figuring, you know, to deploy something. You you assign this permission for verse or delegate this
498
01:51:13.790 --> 01:51:22.870
sometimes the other roles that they show have nothing to do with the topic. Actually, so you gotta eliminate those other ones out pretty easily sometimes.
499
01:51:22.990 --> 01:51:32.510
Tarik Rukab: But do you focus like I said, guys, the book, the lab that is the key, and I and like, I said, I firmly feel if you read the book, do all the labs you're gonna have what you need for this exam.
500
01:51:33.720 --> 01:51:44.760
Myles Brown: And so I think the practice exams are probably the key to give you an idea what kinds of questions they're going to ask Like You said they might even be a little harder.
501
01:51:44.760 --> 01:52:03.220
Tarik Rukab: They'll be the right topics. Oh, for sure, absolutely. And and you know, I said once, you kind of get to the book and the labs, and you and you're kind of getting into that test mode. The practice exams are everything at that point absolutely. I can't even imagine trying to take an exam without a practice exam. First.
502
01:52:03.320 --> 01:52:04.760
Myles Brown: there are some like
503
01:52:05.020 --> 01:52:12.750
Myles Brown: third-party, like gray market, like exam.
504
01:52:13.190 --> 01:52:29.140
Tarik Rukab: These ones we think are reasonable. Right? Yes, and yes, so there's various channels out there, and I would say some definitely touch in the gray area, and, you know, teach their own. Of course, you know we're going to push the Microsoft, you know, recommended ones, but I also have to admit you know there's
505
01:52:29.140 --> 01:52:45.420
Myles Brown: if there's something that you've used in the past, that work for you, you know that may not be a bad thing, and you know sometimes when something works for me, I stay with that, you know.
506
01:52:55.790 --> 01:53:13.290
Tarik Rukab: in in the the end result was not what they wanted. And you know at that point good luck, you know, because you don't know who's really providing these. You don't, you know I wouldn't say they're actually reputable companies, but
507
01:53:13.680 --> 01:53:31.040
Myles Brown: agreement that we, you know, like you said you skip through when you're showing how to schedule an exam, but it says that you're not going to leave the exam. And and like, tell people the exact questions you got.
508
01:53:47.940 --> 01:53:55.460
Tarik Rukab: Yeah, and actually, that's a great price. Typically, you know, most study guys for around $89 and up. So I think that's a fantastic price.
509
01:53:55.790 --> 01:53:56.510
Yeah.
510
01:53:56.850 --> 01:54:10.810
Myles Brown: So I mean, Obviously, we don't have time to go into the deep dive on every one of these topics. We we're we're sort of finishing up one thing that I did want to put in. I'll let you get back to talking, but I'm just gonna throw in the the link
511
01:54:11.080 --> 01:54:21.690
Myles Brown: for our end, of course, survey. So just a little survey. I'll throw it into the chat if you can find it in the chat, and it's just a hyperlink. You can open it up just a couple of questions.
512
01:54:24.050 --> 01:54:41.990
Myles Brown: Yeah, yeah, like, yeah, there's a bit of a discussion about some of those brain dump type sites. And
513
01:54:41.990 --> 01:54:44.650
Myles Brown: I i'm not a 100%. Sure that that's true. But
514
01:54:46.180 --> 01:54:58.040
Myles Brown: yeah, but like like like set up says, you know, a easy one t0 4 is a very difficult exam, and you know whatever you can use as resources to help prepare.
515
01:54:58.710 --> 01:54:59.940
Myles Brown: But
516
01:54:59.990 --> 01:55:14.760
Myles Brown: okay, so let me just put the survey into the chat. That'll be just a quick one. I'll. I'll put it in again right at the very end. We we got a couple of slides that I just wanted to make sure we get to cover
517
01:55:15.630 --> 01:55:25.170
Tarik Rukab: what i'll do, you guys, I did want to do a little bit more with the technical deep dive.
518
01:55:25.400 --> 01:55:27.180
Tarik Rukab: and like I said, we.
519
01:55:28.160 --> 01:55:34.480
Tarik Rukab: we'll kind of get from there. But if there's anything that you guys would like to address in particular, please let me know.
520
01:55:36.130 --> 01:55:37.870
Now.
521
01:55:38.500 --> 01:55:46.650
Tarik Rukab: really, the test is not open book that is going to be the renewal exam there. So i'm glad you asked that guys. Let's clarify that. Now.
522
01:55:46.650 --> 01:56:12.390
Tarik Rukab: when you take the easy one or for exam, no, not open book in any way, shape or form. So at that point you have to have everything in the old log in there. Okay. But the renewal exam. So what you do get your a/C. One of 4 certification is going to be good for one year, and then so at that point you have to renew it each year. The renewal exam is free. You can take it anytime you want directly from your desktop, and it is open book.
523
01:56:12.450 --> 01:56:19.730
Tarik Rukab: Okay, but not the actual easy one of 4 0kay. So I want to clarify that because that would be a shocker.
524
01:56:19.790 --> 01:56:21.020
Tarik Rukab: You bad buddy.
525
01:56:42.320 --> 01:56:43.150
Tarik Rukab: And
526
01:56:43.370 --> 01:56:50.000
Myles Brown: and the miles. Is there anything that you want me to show here?
527
01:56:50.290 --> 01:56:52.620
Oh, it's past all these. Yeah.
528
01:56:53.850 --> 01:57:12.540
Myles Brown: Okay. So we made this a limited time Promo: Just because of this session that we're offering. So we got a promo code that normally the a. Z. 104 class is something like 2,300. Us. You get it for about 40% off, which is 1,400,
529
01:57:12.540 --> 01:57:31.870
Myles Brown: and it comes with the free practice test. So that's the measure up and the the Exam voucher. So you know it's all in one bundle. You also. We're we're recording those classes, so you'll get 90 day access to the recording of your class, but it is a limited time thing. So march 30 first.
530
01:57:31.940 --> 01:57:35.860
If if you want to click on that easy 104
531
01:57:36.060 --> 01:57:39.140
Myles Brown: that that link. That's a hyperlink there. Targ.
532
01:57:45.270 --> 01:57:47.290
Myles Brown: Oh, where did it open
533
01:57:48.460 --> 01:57:50.090
in a browser somewhere?
534
01:57:53.260 --> 01:57:56.370
Myles Brown: Actually here i'll, I'll just share my screen for this part.
535
01:58:00.130 --> 01:58:01.320
Myles Brown: Okay?
536
01:58:01.590 --> 01:58:11.090
Myles Brown: So if you click on that link, it takes you t0 0ur actual class. So so there's where you see the normal price. If you flip down to view schedule. You'll see all our upcoming ones.
537
01:58:11.140 --> 01:58:24.390
Myles Brown: so we've got one coming up pretty soon. March fourteenth, but then the twentieth t0 20, eighth into April, and and so we've got a lot of these dates, and if it says gtr that says it's guaranteed to run.
538
01:58:24.400 --> 01:58:29.420
Myles Brown: so as soon as one person signs up for that class. We're going to run that class.
539
01:58:29.430 --> 01:58:34.120
Tarik Rukab: Now, Tip, typically these class. This class is popular enough that you will get
540
01:58:34.240 --> 01:58:44.590
Myles Brown: at least a handful of people, maybe a dozen, you know, and so that guarantee to run means you don't have to worry about it getting cancelled and cancelled on you. So we've got a lot of dates coming up.
541
01:58:44.610 --> 01:58:50.100
Myles Brown: If you picked one of these dates, say, I decide I want to try March twentieth, and I say, enroll
542
01:58:51.680 --> 01:58:53.820
Myles Brown: click on that.
543
01:58:53.830 --> 01:59:01.040
And it says, okay, Well, here's your price. Well, if I go and add that promo code, which was a Z, 104
544
01:59:01.100 --> 01:59:01.970
Myles Brown: off
545
01:59:02.690 --> 01:59:17.670
Myles Brown: you guys for offer, or maybe I don't know 40% off All of a sudden. The price goes down t0 1400 and then there are some free add-ons here. So there's the role-based certification exam.
546
01:59:17.710 --> 01:59:33.490
Myles Brown: You can add that in, and the price is free and the az 104 practice test that's the measure up desk. and so that's also free. So you can bundle those in, I think, even if you forget to bundle those when you, when you use the promo code. They're they're going to send you that info, anyway.
547
01:59:34.030 --> 01:59:45.300
Myles Brown: And so that's that's how you would go about setting that all up. And I guess so that's the promo code a. Z. 1 4 0ff.
548
01:59:45.540 --> 01:59:55.360
Myles Brown: And again that'll be, you know, in the slides that you either download from the chat where tar. Put it in, or we'll email it to you afterwards as well.
549
01:59:55.760 --> 02:00:10.200
Myles Brown: And then this was an idea of some of those upcoming dates. It's a 4 day class. Most of them are 9 t0 5 Eastern time. I think there may be some that are on the West coast. Let me let me just go back and see
550
02:00:10.230 --> 02:00:11.610
Myles Brown: that schedule
551
02:00:12.050 --> 02:00:14.310
Myles Brown: forward. 4.
552
02:00:17.540 --> 02:00:18.870
Myles Brown: See
553
02:00:21.030 --> 02:00:22.050
Myles Brown: what's going on
554
02:00:27.350 --> 02:00:31.540
Myles Brown: back to this class and view schedule.
555
02:00:32.850 --> 02:00:40.330
Myles Brown: Let's see Eastern time Eastern time. Most of them are Eastern. usually slight. One Pacific in there somewhere.
556
02:00:41.540 --> 02:00:47.100
Myles Brown: Oh, I see we're we're putting it in Eastern time, even though this is an 11 till 7. So that's
557
02:00:47.560 --> 02:00:52.900
Myles Brown: that. That's more catering towards our Pacific Time Zone people.
558
02:00:53.270 --> 02:00:54.970
Myles Brown: So are there more of those.
559
02:00:56.700 --> 02:00:59.260
Myles Brown: I know. This. One's 10 am. T0 6.
560
02:00:59.880 --> 02:01:08.260
Myles Brown: So, because they're virtual. You're from home, you know. You don't have to commute. S0 7 am on the Pacific Time zone. Maybe isn't the worst thing in the world.
561
02:01:08.670 --> 02:01:16.120
Myles Brown: We have another promo. You know. Everything we've talked about so far has been really focused on the Az 104.
562
02:01:16.260 --> 02:01:25.570
Myles Brown: But basically. If you take any azure power platform, Security, Microsoft, 3 65 0r dynamics Course
563
02:01:25.750 --> 02:01:35.050
Myles Brown: you can add on the the exam voucher for free. And so we've got that going until the end of March.
564
02:01:35.140 --> 02:01:40.980
The validity date. It's only a 6 month, voucher. So you gotta take the the exam in the next 6 months.
565
02:01:41.230 --> 02:01:55.850
Myles Brown: So everything we talked about so far has been pretty easy 104, and an azure really specific. But this is kind of a more General Microsoft thing, and Just the last thing I wanted to say is that exit certified does a lot more than just Microsoft.
566
02:01:55.850 --> 02:02:04.390
Myles Brown: and and we use this. We call it the Cloud centrix diagram to kind of hit home that you know we're we're really
567
02:02:04.670 --> 02:02:06.470
Myles Brown: primarily cloud
568
02:02:06.520 --> 02:02:18.910
Myles Brown: base stuff, right? So we're partnered with the 4 kind of big cloud vendors, and then all of the things around, moving to the cloud, maybe embracing micro services, doing kubernetes.
569
02:02:19.020 --> 02:02:39.110
Myles Brown: whether it's automating things with ansible and terraform or devops, type stuff or or analytics. You know, we we partnered with a lot of these companies that have authorized training programs, and then something like kubernetes where it's sort of hey? It's an open source thing. Anybody can hang and sign and say, we do Kubernetes training.
570
02:02:39.110 --> 02:02:42.800
Myles Brown: So we try and go and vet and find out who's got the best to breed training
571
02:02:43.000 --> 02:02:57.480
Myles Brown: for kubernetes. And so that's what we that's what we do. So we put a couple of things just@theendourobviouslyourwebsiteisexcertified.com. This is an email you can send a question to. If you have a question about
572
02:02:57.600 --> 02:03:04.790
Myles Brown: about taking a course, or you know you just go to the website, and and you can enroll directly. But we got phone number as well.
573
02:03:06.210 --> 02:03:17.850
Myles Brown: Basically You know we we wanted to do this in 2 h, so I put that in. We can write our 2 h. Let me put in the Survey link one last time
574
02:03:18.730 --> 02:03:23.280
Myles Brown: in case it got lost in the mix for people, because I know people will have
575
02:03:23.520 --> 02:03:26.560
Myles Brown: have to jump if they've set things.
576
02:03:27.990 --> 02:03:43.140
Myles Brown: This diagram just shows me how much I don't know. Yeah, I built that diagram, and I was like, oh, man, it's it's really there's there's a lot more than we do like. I I think I think our course catalog has 9,500 different classes.
577
02:03:43.230 --> 02:03:48.430
Myles Brown: Now, there's a lot of them that we don't ever really offer, because they're so niche that you know
578
02:03:48.730 --> 02:03:51.370
Myles Brown: we don't have public schedule for everything.
579
02:03:51.730 --> 02:04:01.470
Somebody's asking. What type of prior learning should we know to successfully get the most out of the az 104, and somebody asked earlier, do I need to take the 900 first?
580
02:04:01.520 --> 02:04:20.620
Tarik Rukab: And and I said, the answer is not No, but it it can help right
581
02:04:20.620 --> 02:04:31.290
Tarik Rukab: ideally with the az 900, for we're gonna give you the terminology, and once you get that Well, now, it's getting to the you know, into the trenches with it now with the
582
02:04:31.330 --> 02:04:34.010
Tarik Rukab: the a/C. One of 4 guys is a great
583
02:04:34.010 --> 02:05:03.900
Tarik Rukab: learning book, because it gradually brings you in. You know they're going to tell you about the
584
02:05:03.900 --> 02:05:20.510
Tarik Rukab: conditional access. So it's a great course, no matter what guys. And you know, even if you're not taking the exam. It it's a great course just to learn. You know it's, you know, without it. It. You know it. It's the starting point to administer azure in my my my opinion. So it's
585
02:05:20.510 --> 02:05:28.340
Tarik Rukab: a great class, no matter what, even if you don't want to get certified, and I would say. For the most part you really don't have to have any prerequisites. But
586
02:05:28.550 --> 02:05:41.890
Tarik Rukab: if you don't understand the terminology of cloud, like what is infrastructure as a service software as a service. You know. You know the differences and things like that, and you're not very familiar with virtualization. And a/C. 900 is definitely gonna be a great course for you.
587
02:05:41.950 --> 02:05:54.710
Tarik Rukab: and and I would recommend it personally. But at the same time, if you say I just want to take a z one 0 4, and I need to learn azure and how to administered it, and I need to deploy resources. Then it's a perfect class for you
588
02:05:56.130 --> 02:05:56.980
Myles Brown: excellent.
589
02:05:58.640 --> 02:06:08.200
Myles Brown: all right. Well, I want to thank you dark for for taking the time today to do this. This has been really
590
02:06:08.540 --> 02:06:27.480
Myles Brown: said it was great. We'll stick around for a couple of minutes if people have more questions, but but we're at our we're a little past our 2 h, so I I don't want to take you longer than we need to. If if you can get a chance to do that, survey that'd be great. It's only about like 6 0r 7, you know short questions.
591
02:06:27.570 --> 02:06:36.380
Myles Brown: You will get an email. There'll be the zoom link, and probably a little password. I think it's password protected. But they'll give you the password. It's an email.
592
02:06:36.430 --> 02:06:44.920
Myles Brown: So you can watch this again. And you should also get the Pdf. Email to you, because sometimes people have trouble downloading it through the
593
02:06:45.070 --> 02:06:46.230
Myles Brown: through zoom.
594
02:06:47.880 --> 02:06:49.200
But
595
02:06:50.700 --> 02:06:58.260
Tarik Rukab: thank you so much, guys for joining and guys, it has been a pleasure. I really hope you enjoyed it. I'm seeing a little bit of feedback there, and
596
02:06:59.100 --> 02:07:16.780
Tarik Rukab: once again thanks so much for joining us. We're like we were very excited about it. We hope that we got you fired up for the Az one t0 4, course an exam? Somebody asked, Can we combine the discount to learn as a group? If you got a group. Yeah, we'll we'll figure out a a similar kind of discount to give you for sure.
597
02:07:16.990 --> 02:07:17.550
Yeah.

02:07:17.600 --> 02:07:19.090

02:07:24.040 --> 02:07:36.450

602
02:07:47.060 --> 02:07:51.800
Myles Brown: Well, i'm not seeing any new questions coming in, so I think maybe
603
02:07:53.920 --> 02:07:55.980
Myles Brown: we will shut it down.
604
02:07:57.290 --> 02:07:58.200
Myles Brown: Thanks again.
