Things in the MS Learn documentation just clicks when I watch your videos. Thanks!

[@mikeparker5119]

Adam, this morning I woke up a mere mortal, tonight I go to sleep as a Microsoft Certified Professional. Thank you for the excellent content. I see from the many comments that people like me love your presentations - the few that comment about depth of subject etc. have to realise this is a study guide to pass the exam, not a walkthrough of every last function of a given feature! Keep doing these wonderful videos. I hope you may consider some other course next such as AZ-104.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Fantastic! Great story Mike! Glad to help you on your journey! AZ-104 might be a possibility, who knows!

Great job! Thanks for stopping by :) For az-204 I honestly don't know any course I would recommend as I just don't learn this way myself. I just google topics from the course skills measured PDF, read the docs and practice in Azure :) but it's a matter of personal preference.

[@SenthilkumarSV]

Good one Adam. Is it possible to set a policy to restrict developers deploying the stuffs from the local machines to Azure cloud? Example all the deployment should carry on using only build & release pipelines.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

As per episode, Azure Policy doesn't focus on users or user actions. That's what RBAC is for. You could take away permissions to create resources from users and only let dedicated devops principals to perform deployment.

[@125grigori]

Thank you for your awsome videos, help a lot to understand more about azure. I have a question and hope you can answer. Is it possible when creating a group to make it mandatory to name some owner for the group. Lets say if I want to create a group and if I dont namne someone as the groupowner while I am creating the group then it will not be posible to create the group. ? :)

[@getme9103]

Hi adam. Could you please tell me howmany videos are left in your playlist and by when will be all uploaded and will it be possible to pass the exam with thr current 31 videos? I would appreciate a reply on this. Thank you😊

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Always check the website. We got still 8 left :) Thanks for stopping by.

[@midlander3760]

I have a question that wasn't clearly covered. If a policy is applied to a resource group that already contains resources of a specific type and the policy disallows that resource type and there is no remediation policy, is that resource type removed when the policy is applied or is it allowed to remain on the premise that policies are only applied to newly created resources after the policy is applied. I think the latter but wanted to verify.

[@thapelomphahlele9500]

Hi Adam, do you have the AZ-104 Course lined up in the future by any chance? I'm willing to pay for it. I love how you teach.

I passed az-900 course on Monday. Your course was helpful but the az-900 learning objectives have been updated just thought I left you. Do you have any advice for doing the AZ 104? Will you be doing a course for the az 104?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Great job! Well, I might but can't share any details yet :) stay tuned for more. For az-104 I guess it depends on the person, if you like watching videos maybe try different online courses.

8:39 instead of 'Add' option I am see 'Create' option. Has the UI been updated? or does it depends on the resource group?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Yep, UI changed a little

[@s3mmy676]

Beautiful lesson as always. There's a typo in the last section.. You wrote "Reasource tags summary"

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Oh thanks! you are correct, silly me!

[@supersmart671]

After creating a custom policy, I tried to delete it, I don't see an option to do that. There is only an option to 'delete assignment' how can we delete a custom policy that is created?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Delete assignment first, navigate to definitions and then delete the definition.

[@p.c2750]

Hi Mr.Adam, how can i get a job with these certificates if i dont have experience? Would this be a wasted effort?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Making an effort and investing in yourself is always worth it long term. As to getting the job certificates are just part of it, personality, skills, confidence, experience, passion. All count. But certs definitely help. This does depend on the employer and the market though.
