Hi Patrik, fantastic video and its true it can be overwhelming. I am currently pursuing the cloud architecture through this learning path Az900,204,104 and 305. What do you think is the best time-frame to reach Architecture Expert Level because I think I am putting to much pressure to complete in small space of time

[@PatriksTechLightning]

Hi ! Glad to hear the content is useful. The time frames to obtain a certain certification all depends on: prior knowledge & experience, ability to learn and answer multiple choice questions. In a six month period you should be able to reach Architecture Expert certification. It's possible to get it done a lot sooner if all you want is a pass. Good luck !

Patrick, your videos are amazing. Very easy to digest. Some questions I have specially with CAF and landing zones is how would you design an Azure environment for an enterprise who will mostly use IaaS services. I understand it's recommended to have multiple subscriptions but it seems vnet peering costs will creep up

[@PatriksTechLightning]

Hi and thank you for the kind words ! There are two recommended ways from Microsoft to deploy an Application. 1) Each application in a seperate subscription (like you mentioned) or 2) Isolate each application to a dedicated vNet Going for either of these two options will indeed incur vnet peering costs. Technically, you may easily be able to fit the entire environment (including shared services) in one subscription. But this is not really scalable while making security and governance more difficult. Remember: today the enterprise may mainly use IaaS... What about tomorrow ? Design your infrastructure to ensure the Enterprise can grow unrestricted and take full advantage of the cloud.

@@PatriksTechLightning thanks Patrik! One thing is that our company does not serve any applications to user. Our move to the cloud is mainly to move things such as file servers, domain controllers and the usual applications that are not created with the cloud in mind and run on windows VMs and require IIS and SQL servers. Because of the same these applications are not easily scalable (beauty of the cloud). The company might create small applications for internal use but nothing big to serve to outside customers (I understand our users are "customers", they are a very small user base)
