I'm a recent IT graduate working as a technician, and I have the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CCP) and AWS Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA) certifications. Since my company utilizes Azure in a hybrid setup, I'm wondering if it would be beneficial for me to pursue the AZ-900 certification. What do you think?

Honestly, with your background, you could probably pass the AZ-900 easily just based on what you already know about cloud concepts.
The AZ-900 covers foundational stuff like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, but if you really want to understand how Azure works in depth, the AZ-104 is a better choice.
The AZ-900 is pretty basic—it's often recommended for sales teams more than tech folks. If you're already certified with AWS, you might want to go straight for something like the AZ-104 instead.
Instead of taking the AZ-900, I suggest just going through the course materials to get familiar with Microsoft's terminology, then aim for the AZ-104 for more advanced knowledge.
Thanks for the advice! I was considering AZ-104 as well.
