40H to simplify this video. Thank you for this free content! You are one of the rare individuals that can simply explain a complex topic. 👍

[@AdamMarczakYT]

I appreciate that! It was a tough video to create :)

[@prashantbakshi2572]

Very well explained CAF core principals in concise and effective manner. It is easy to follow and understand this vast topic. Thanks you for posting this content. Very helpful! 👍

[@ArvindKumar-gn6bs]

I would like to thank you for your amazingly crisp and clear tutorials. With the teacher like you anyone can pass any exam. Today, I have passed my AZ-900 Exam with flying colours.Thanks a lot Adam!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Wow, thank you! Excellent new, congrats :)

[@BijouBakson]

Over 40 hours to prepare a 23-min course? Liked by default

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thanks! :D

[@camdenbarkley1893]

Thanks for putting all this time into this video and this whole series! You are helping me start my cloud career!

[@MrRockDeveloper]

Adam is the best instructor out there, period.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thank you so much!

[@gamaksaraswat7589]

Thank you very much! Adam for this precise content. The animations are quite catchy and the content is really easy to comprehend. Words are less to describe the effort you have put in to make everything the way it is. I express my gratitude to you.❣

[@Paulowe40]

Adam, thank you very much for your hard work and passion to this series. It was by chance I came across it. And I have learned so much from you. Looking forward to completing the rest of the videos and doing the exam. Thanks for your time

[@allanmow]

Thank you Adam. This is an amazing course. I've been going through different documentation and finally found your content is comprehensive and easy to follow and understand. Good job!!!!

[@Mursaat100]

So, i got this far and I am still impressed that this is free and all, but the section at 16:32 was very vague in my view. These are my notes: 1. Make Business Value Consensus (Value to Strategy) - It is a decision you need to make on a technical solution and identify a hypothetical customer need and map that to a business value that you can provide by building this solution. Then map this value to your cloud strategy. [What is meant by identifying a hypothetical customer need and why is this done? ] 2. Make an Innovation Guide (Tools) - Here you" decide on the tools that are available in the cloud to accelerate development of this solution, and build this MVP" [I am very familiar with MVP:s, but this was a very unclear sentence]

[@jsampayo7]

I've seen so far all of the videos up to this point. The quality in terms of content, visual aids, and highly well explained is AWESOME. But this video in particula, so far, seems to me the BEST. What a work you do Adam, I haven't seen so far any other material better than yours (trully). Thanks so much for being so generous on sharing your knowledge.

[@rupeshravi]

Wow! I appreciate the amount of work you have put in to build this content. I have been reading the Cloud adoption framework document for the past few days. I understand the effort it would take to assemble all the content you put up here. I think you are doing a great service to Azure professionals and Microsoft. Thank you for your great work

[@PrettyPennyClub]

I've commented on other videos on this series but this is an incredible distilling of information on this subject. Well done. Much appreciated.

[@praveenkathait]

Awesome presentation and content. The hard work you put reflects in your videos. Keep Sharing and make people learn more and more. You are a true motivation.

[@vinothangam1]

Respect for you and the great content! Thanks so much 🙏

[@gowrisandhya]

Hey Marc, Thanks for this wonderful content. It's way more than what is expected for the fundamental exam but loved and enjoyed every bit of it. just came out from Az900 with 820 score and I would dedicate this to you. Thanks a ton once again!!

[@KINJALKPARTHRA]

Thank you so much Mr Adam Marzack for compressing this 40hrs of content. We have a microsoft interview in few days, and it really saved a lot of our time. 🙇🙇🙇

[@vishalkumaragrawal4480]

why this course is free?? such a quality content i never found free on web... You are awesome Thanks a lot Adam

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Hehehe! Thank you :)

[@vinodranaveni]

Good is that skipping the udemy ad before watching this awesome tutorial for free. Thank you Adam. Still 6 episodes left out for me to complete your full playlist for azure 900.

[@shankarsharmas6414]

I would like to thank you Adam.. because of you today I cleared my Az-900 exam . Thank you for this wonderful content .

[@sreekanthreddylingamdinne363]

I never found a video(in-terms of cloud technology explanation) except your videos on azure. The explanations are at next level. I red the whole documentation of AD and RBAC on Microsoft docs and got sleep 😴. But when I was watching video about AD and RBAC I felt like 👍 now I’m a ACE in AD and RBAC. I have a only goal 🥅 for 2021 which is completing the azure fundamentals certification along with terraform. With your videos it is not going to be impossible thing for me. Exceptional videos.

[@lokaabhiram771]

Amazing work in bringing down these huge topics into clearly structured video Adam. This is beyond helpful for the AZ-900 preparation. Thank you very much for the great content..!!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@rstilekar]

This one is really amazing resource. Complex framework really simplified and shortened but still covering all needed details. This is best. Thanks Adam & keep up the good work for Azure community :)

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Great to hear! Thanks!

[@rgon3t]

I can't believe you spent 50 hours creating this for us. Nice job! It's an interesting subject, besides. None of the other KZbin based courses I watched, or the book I read, covered the Cloud Adoption Framework in any detail. They mostly glossed over this topic. Too hard I guess! I believe Adam's explanations adequately prepared me for the exam. Thanks!

[@jesperadamsen2489]

Awesome course, very well explained and way better than many paid courses. Keep up the good work :)

[@dramaticreviews6278]

Adam.. You are fantabulous..The way you explain is marvelous... Salute to you man

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Wonderful! Thank you :)

[@girishdeshi8171]

I am a big admirer of your work, such a simple insightfull explaination. Your videos have motivated me to learn azure cloud, I have cleared AZ-900 & AZ-204 certification with videos you have compiled. Though there are no videos related to 204 but videos which are in current playlist are good enough to cover 80% of the 204 subject. Thank you again for all this, keep inspiring.

[@kristiyanivanov7414]

Hi, could you give more information about the AZ-204 exam? What did you use besides the videos on Adam's channel to study, what was useful to you?
