Most detailed and informative video I’ve seen on KZbin regarding the Azure Cloud exams. Thanks Travis! Going to be taking my DP-203 exam soon and this was super helpful

[@emmanuelberaud8213]

I know it's silly, but I really like Travis' voice. It makes it easy to watch his videos from start to end, and I'm always looking forward to the next one!

[@webguru22]

He really does have a smooth radio announcer kind of voice.

OMG I had the same feeling for no reason lol

[@fatumasukar8718]

So true

[@Jk71780]

I cant tell how much you contribute to the community who want to take the Microsoft exams. No BS, no paid ad, no self- commercial, pure support. Those kind of videos are so rare nowaday. Please take a big thank from me sir

[@rishabincloud]

Hey Travis, great video! I recently did the AZ-204 without much prep, but have been working with Azure for more than a year. Really resonate about the open book, I used it in the AZ-204 and finished the exam right on time. In the past, I usually finished 15-30 minutes before the time allotted. Just a tip to not get lost looking at documentation.

[@babylonsjukan]

How did you manage all the detailed questions? I also have been working with it for over a year but majority of the questions are so detailed it is not something you really pickup when developing, you need to google. How did your prep look like? :)

[@tonyteja6755]

[@m-d-b]

I did not know about the open book - that's awesome. I'm taking AZ-104 soon and feel like I understand the concepts fine but was worried about remembering stuff like Powershell commands, SKU offerings etc. This really takes that pressure off, and it makes sense because in the realy world no one needs to know all that off by heart

[@TravisMedia]

Yeah it was new to me prior to this video. Though if you are going to use the docs for a few things, be sure to know exactly where to find it as there won't be any added time to the exam. I finished with like 3 minutes left! I think you can remember most the powershell commands as there's a pattern to them. While I didn't have the open book option, I may use it for things like VM sizes, etc. Best of luck on taking it!

[@madhuradeshmukh8557]

Hi Did you clear the exam? What resources did you use to study? I’m planning Az-104 next month

[@jamescyberops9882]

Yes, what Certification I need to talk like him?

[@duchuynh7948]

I agree with you 100%. Why do we have to memorize everything, and most of them we never used. Open-book tests usually slow you down. You actually need to study for your test. You only use open book for the one that you are not sure.

[@fezroldan9545]

Travis thank you for providing an up to date full guide on completing these certifications… makes it a lot easier than going to multiple channels to learn their processes individually!!!🔥

[@notoriousft]

Never read the full case study in the exam.too much unnecessary info. Refer to the parts when answering the question.

Great video thank you

[@williamngasso8436]

Travis articulate communicator, great teacher, proficient developer

[@seanjo5705]

Those against open book or the "it was hard for me so it should be hard for you" people are just no helping create the type of world I wanna live in. This nugget will be invaluable in passing the exam

[@curtisservice]

Excellent video. Thank you for making it. I'm 32, switching career paths from an HVAC tech to my passion; technology and development. I really enjoyed your video because of your positive energy, comforting voice, and the in-depth information you shared. Liked, saved, and subscribed. If KZbin doesn't work out, you could probably be a voice actor for motivational audio books or a coffee commercial... When you wake up in the morning to a flat tire and feel like you haven't gotten a good night's sleep in days because you're obsessed with your latest project. Reach for the brew with a mountain sunshine view, it's enough to start up your dead truck. Reach for the coder's cup! And when life doesn't go your way, PIVOT! 😅😅🏆🏆🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ Thanks again, brother!

[@DebugDynastySolution]

Thank you for creating such an informative video. It has made it much easier for me to understand where to begin, and I feel confident about starting now.

Thank you for this! I took many tech tests and failed miserably because I got too nervous (I get bad text anxiety). Knowing this is open book I feel less stressed about wanting to take this.

[@Esgarpen]

Getting any degree or certification at this point in history is basically your POC on: "I am this good at finding the relevant answer to any given question you throw at me." Not everything has to be held in that brain of yours - but where and how to find the answers to any question, that is a true skill to have - in my opinion.

[@thomtheunissen5827]

make sure to look locally for how much market share the cloud has! For me as an example, the story is a whole different. As of 2020, Microsoft Azure held the largest market share for cloud computing in the Netherlands, with 73% of the market. Within the healthcare sector, Azure’s share was even higher at 90%,

[@cel3ryCrunch]

Open book is a great idea and might sound like a cheat code, but don't be fooled. You won't have much time to do research on the spot during the exam - you get 50-60+ complex, scenario based questions and some labs (+/- for each exam), but such volume simply eliminates any chance of you showing up unprepared and passing. I studied for 2 weeks for my AZ800, open book concept was already introduced and I had 0 time to search around for answers. Failed twice, studied more, then passed.

[@digibloodonline]

Did not quite see the value with MS learn before watching this video, always tend to forget how good MS documentation actually is. Your recommendation for using it together with your training is such a good recommendation, I am using it daily myself now.

Any job in IT I've had, and with 17 years google box has been everyone's friend. There are many things you have have to know, but there are always times when you have to be able to research. So it makes it realistic. But not being able to understand what you need to research or what the problem is the issue with people who lie on a resume.

[@julianaf1101]

OMG knowing that I can see the documentation during the exam gave me so much peace 😮‍💨

[@jansteyn1978]

Yeah, that lookup of the VM sizes etc is the only thing it will help with quick. The benefit of learning to lookup that is it changes all the time.

Thank you! Means the world

[@thevagrantgaming]

I constantly see people recommend going AWS over Azure, but another thing people don’t seem to account for is where you live. Where I am in the Midwest Azure is way more common and beneficial. Because there are far fewer larger corporations and more mid level companies. And a lot of the big boys are government contractors who prefer azure. You aren’t finding a lot of startup companies here.

[@mohdashfaq123]

Thank you, very helpful

[@aipujols]

Hi Travis, great advices in the video. I want to share my opinion on the first advice, correlate learning with MS doc. It's great! I've been studying the certs with Examtopics, which is a great source, but I'm only remembering the answers and yet I don't understand the concepts of why I'm doing this. So I can actually pass the exams, but after that, I'd forget what are these services for or where can I find the relevant information. Maybe the next cert if I adopt your suggestion, I would have a better understanding!

[@CrazyCanuck55]

So you are cheating with brain dumps....and you wonder why you arn't understanding the underlying concepts

It's not "open book", but you do have access to Microsoft Learn

[@nesmandan1037]

They do memorize the details, or at least used to. My MCSE NT 4.0 with TCP/IP and Exchange Server and Win 95 client (thanks job) was no joke. Looking back, I conservatively read over 15,000 pages between the MS Press Resource kits, Exam Crams, 3rd party materials. I easily passed them, but there were ridiculous questions that I never would see in the real world.
