Key learning domains for Azure Cloud include:
* Cloud Concepts & Fundamentals (AZ-900 equivalent): This foundational knowledge covers core cloud concepts (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), benefits of
cloud computing, and a high-level overview of Azure's architectural components, services, security, pricing, and support. This is the entry point
for anyone new to Azure.
* Core Azure Services:
* Compute: Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure App Service (web apps, APIs), Azure Functions (serverless), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for
container orchestration, Container Instances.
* Networking: Virtual Networks (VNets), Load Balancers, Application Gateways, VPN Gateways, DNS, and understanding network security

* Databases: Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL), Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL, Azure Synapse Analytics for data
warehousing.
* Identity & Security: Azure Active Directory (Azure AD - now Microsoft Entra ID), role-based access control (RBAC), security best practices,
Azure Security Center, Key Vault.
* Management & Governance: Azure Portal navigation, Azure CLI, PowerShell, Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates for infrastructure as

* Developer: Building cloud-native applications, integrating with Azure services, DevOps.
* Administrator: Managing Azure infrastructure, networking, security, and operations.
* Data Engineer/Scientist: Data ingestion, processing, analytics, machine learning, and AI services (e.g., Azure Machine Learning, Azure
Databricks, Azure Cognitive Services, Azure OpenAI).
* Solutions Architect: Designing scalable, resilient, and secure Azure solutions.
* DevOps Engineer: Implementing CI/CD pipelines, MLOps, automation.
Microsoft Learn is an excellent, free resource for structured learning paths, often aligning directly with Azure certification exams (e.g., AZ-104
for Administrator, AZ-204 for Developer, DP-900 for Data Fundamentals). Hands-on practice through Azure Free Accounts is crucial for practical
understanding.
