Reviews

This course really helps me in understanding the fundamental concepts of Azure.Thanks to instructor,learnquest and coursera in helping me achieving this feet.

I am so glad to complete this course and The content provided is simple and understandable.

Course is more on reading, ideally it should be more practical exercise like you actually create Resources, VMs, apply policies locks etc etc.

The course covered the essential information for familiarizing with how Azure works and is configured. The introduction to Azure PowerShell, CLI, and portal were very helpful.
