After almost 2 months, I'm back :D

[@WedHashim]

glad you are back and thanks for time and effort sharing your knowledge with us i start learning cloud after watching your videos

[@amirmir3244]

So happy to have you back.

[@chimpo131]

please go back where you came from😂😂😂

[@robh5695]

Thank you, Gwyneth! This is great. I am currently upgrading my knowledge so this is perfect. All the best to you and all who read this!

[@user-gr4um1qj8u]

I had to come back and say thank you for the plug. I saw your tweet over a month ago, checked the video then went straight to Microsoft after watching. I have done: "Configure secure access to your workloads using Azure networking; Configure SIEM security operations using Microsoft Sentinel; Deploy and configure Azure Monitor; Deploy containers by using AKS; Secure Azure services and workloads with Microsoft Defender for Cloud regulatory compliance controls; and Secure storage for Azure Files and Azure Blob Storage". I'm about to take the "Implement security through a pipeline using Azure DevOps" assessment.. My focus is more on cloud security and administration hence I went specifically for those ones. This boosted my confidence as well as my resume. Keep up the great work. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@jeremymason8305]

I am trying to transition from the Finance/Account Management industry into the IT industry, specifically Cloud security, as I believe that the Cloud is the future of business. I definitely appreciate your videos for their ease of understanding and concise planning on how to get into the cloud. I have learned so much from watching your videos! Your 6 Month Cloud Study Plan video is by far the best and most informative plan/study guide that I have found on the internet. Keep up the great work!!!

[@broadestsmiler]

Super neat stuff! I will definitely have to take a look at this. Thanks for letting us know about these opportunities!

Genius marketing play by microsoft (I think?), the more incentive people have to learn microsoft cloud, the more likely it is those people will choose to deploy services with microsoft products down the line.

this looks similar to what GCP has been doing with their "milestones" to certifications, very cool.

[@gregorybedoyan7804]

I'm very new to Tech and I have been looking to self-learn some things (Starting out with The Odin Project) Which obviously is a completely different thing as it focuses on Web Dev instead of Cloud computing. I just checked the applied skills, and they seem to be intermediate. I do have very basic fundamental knowledge of the Tech industry as a whole as I worked in a sales role for tech companies without being the technical guy. Any chance these 'courses' will still be doable for a guy such as myself? Just want to benefit from it before they start pricing these, otherwise I will continue learning the web development side of things till I get a grasp on how Git, and tech stacks work.

[@borntodoit8744]

suggestion : while the video focus is to evidence based reskilling to get the job - do not forget to network to get a job. You will find it literally is a game changer (you can get the job just because your face fits). 80 percent of people go about job hunting the hard way (through the front door - apply, interview, testing, offer). 20 percent get it the easy way (they cultivate the badge "youre a good guy" by reputation or conversation, they are recognised as "your face fits"). I kid you not you can get into any technical job and ensure you agree they train you up as part of the deal (mix of self taught, informal or formal education). You have sales skills - so sell yourself with people skills before you even consider all this technical certification and project work which frankly is buying into a mindset of "i want to be an employee" (wage slave).

[@brownsense1]

Do AWS have anything similar? I'm currently in an AWS re/start program and i would love to access something like this for AWS.

[@nijatrzayev9962]

I ma taking AWS Solution Architect training, I guess it would not be suitable for to spend time for this yes? Suggestion from you plz. I think it d better for AWS this kind of lab skills would be available whoever preparing for AWS cert exams, I know both are in demand now, considering right thing at the right time.

[@ravic6115]

I hope they bring back some sort of voucher system for this once they start charging since they got rid of the vouchers for virtual training days.

[@sealleone2565]

How do you log into the labs. Did you create a vm on azure before running. Asking because I don’t see any passwords on the instructions on how to access the sandbox environment

[@MadeByGPS]

the password is there in the instructions, check carefully.

[@TechMrBedyson]

I wish Microsoft can have azure subscription simulation where you can just practise like Cisco packet tracer

[@worldnewscurrentaffairs5551]

If I am correct it appears the course begins next year.

[@user-by6yw9rw7l]

Is it possible to do on your own azure portal because on my laptop for some reason its super small i can't even see all the options for azure like when i log into my portal that i have the subscription for

nope not at all, and I know it should be there cause i have done this Microsoft labs before but this time there is nothing even the image for labclient when i click it nothing happens @@MadeByGPS

Seems like it's not exactly "free" since you need an Azure subscription to complete the practice exercises.

[@MadeByGPS]

No you don’t, you just need a Microsoft learn account.

[@maveriks463]

Hmm... They should be free for rhose who have passed certs....

[@Mavo1989]

This is very old did this 2 years ago... if you have a microsoft account and partnership or even a MSDN been around for so long

[@jo-fe9mb]

you dont need certs if you have a job

[@MadeByGPS]

Depends.

[@josersleal]

then once its a thing evcery job will demnad it. then you have to go through coding interviews with stuff you never use, study for your certs and study for microsoft check. none of these are usefull in the real world.

I'm having a hard time reading your comment, could you reword it so we can have a productive conversation please.

Another product pusher video. Reported.

If you don't find use, totally fine. It's free and actually helps you gain skills.

@@MadeByGPS No one is going to learn anything from it that will land someone a job. So you can stop peddling that nonsense. And nothing is really free. You can stop that nonsense, too.
