AZ-900 Study Roadmap for Azure Fundamentals
A strong AZ-900 roadmap follows Microsoft’s study guide and adapts to weak areas instead of relying on fixed weeks, exact timing claims, or local bank totals.

Open Microsoft’s AZ-900 study guide first and use it as the scope checklist. It explains the purpose of the document, summarizes the topics the exam may cover, and links to additional resources. Revisit it before final review in case the skills measured have changed.
Begin with cloud computing benefits and tradeoffs: OpEx versus CapEx, consumption pricing, shared responsibility, scalability, elasticity, high availability, fault tolerance, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud. These terms show up across the rest of Azure learning.
Next, learn the Azure building blocks: regions, availability zones, resource groups, subscriptions, management groups, virtual machines, App Service, Functions, storage accounts, Blob Storage, Azure Files, virtual networks, VPN Gateway, Microsoft Entra ID, and basic security services. Keep the goal at service recognition and comparison.
Review Azure Policy, RBAC, locks, tags, Cost Management, budgets, Azure Monitor, Azure Advisor, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, support plans, service health, the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, and ARM templates. These topics explain how Azure environments are organized, governed, monitored, and paid for.
Use the DotCreds Guided Course to keep the sequence organized and the DotCreds Practice Bank to find weak concepts. When you miss a question, return to Microsoft Learn or official documentation, then explain the distinction in your own words before practicing again.
Use these DotCreds paths when you are ready to practice, compare options, or keep studying.
Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals is the credential this DotCreds guide is organized around. Use this page to understand the topic, then move into practice or the guided course when you are ready.
Start with the beginner guide and study roadmap, then use practice questions to find weak areas before you spend time rereading everything.
It can be worth studying when the skills match your target role, current experience, and next job move. The related certifications page can help compare nearby options.
Study time depends on your background. Use a self-paced plan, review missed questions, and keep the official objectives close while you practice.
Start with a focused practice set, then use your missed questions to decide what to study next.
