Preparation and Selection Procedure:
Microsoft mostly focused on fundamental algorithms and data structures, and I would not label any question they asked me as “difficult”. But, since we are expected to write the entire code on paper, it is important to develop a habit of writing neat and clean code on paper.
For me, as a cloud-based internship the interview on azure fundamentals (AZ-900) and real scenario-based questions. By making it clear to the interviewer that I wanted to work on the azure-related project and that I’m here to build and contribute to your project.
Somehow, the Internship started a little bit late on 29 August 2022 and was completed on 22 October 2022. This time Microsoft allowed me to remote work cuz I'm not able to come to Bengaluru.
Why I’m selected?
My main motto is ‘’Learn together and grow together’’.
End of July my interview was started, As my past work experience with companies, as a freelancer and my life stories + soft skills.
23 July 2022, My mom's Birthday — I published my portfolio website www.yatharthchauhan.me — Along with that Microsoft was impressed during the interview, and I told about my journey and further general talk.
One point that was I already worked on my portfolio AI Chat-Bot. We all know that Microsoft announced Bing based on AI. So, we are discussing it and finally, after a really pleasant interview experience, it was one of the reasons why I was selected by Microsoft.
How was my first-day experience?
From the moment I logged in to my computer, I felt welcomed and supported by my team. They took the time to introduce themselves, explain their roles, and answer any questions I had. Despite not meeting them in person, I felt like I was part of the team from the very beginning.
While working from home can be challenging, Microsoft’s virtual onboarding process has made the transition smooth and easy. Throughout the day, I attended various virtual meetings and training sessions, where I learned about Microsoft’s values, products, and services.

Entry Level Project Work: SEO Automation Web
Task: A project to automate the generation of meta tags for any website. The goal is to improve the website’s search engine visibility and increase organic traffic. I need to develop a program that can analyze the website’s content, identify relevant keywords and phrases, and generate meta tags that are optimized for search engines.
Deploy Web on Azure Cloud:
As an intern, I had the opportunity to work on a project that involved deploying an application on the Azure cloud. It was a challenging yet exciting experience as I had to learn and apply new concepts to complete the task successfully.
To begin, I researched the Azure cloud platform to understand its features and services. I familiarized myself with the Azure portal and the tools available for deployment. I then worked with my team to configure the application for deployment on Azure.
Next, we created a new resource group and provisioned a virtual machine (VM) to host the application. We then installed the necessary software, including the web server and database, and configured the VM for production use.
Once the VM was ready, we deployed the application code and configured it to use the database hosted on Azure. We also set up a load balancer and configured SSL certificates to ensure secure communication between the user and the application.
Throughout the process, we encountered a few challenges, such as configuration issues and compatibility errors, but we overcame them by troubleshooting and seeking guidance from our mentors.
Overall, the experience of deploying an application on the Azure cloud was a great learning opportunity. I gained a deeper understanding of cloud computing and gained valuable experience working with a team to deploy a real-world application.
