Prerequisites

1. I’m fortunate enough to work as an Azure Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft Australia! Although security is not my specialisation, I do work in the Azure cloud environment in my day to day work.
2. I’m very experienced in taking cloud certifications (including both AWS and Microsoft Azure), so I know my learning style very well (I prefer to start from watching videos for the exam knowledge and I always take enough practice questions before attending the actual exam.) Here’s my cloud certification history for your reference:
