Hey everyone! I'm diving into Azure and looking for the best way to learn it as a beginner. I know there are tons of YouTube videos out there, but I really prefer reading documentation. The official docs are super comprehensive, though, and I'm just trying to grasp the fundamentals to get started. Any suggestions?

Azure has a ton of features, and it can be overwhelming. Start by figuring out what aspects you want to learn. For instance, there's a big focus on identity management as well as resource organization. Identifying your needs will guide your learning path.
I think it’s crucial to know what you want to achieve. For backend development, I've written about using Azure functions, SQL server, event grid, service bus, and storage account features. These could be a solid starting point!
It really depends on what specific areas of Azure you're interested in. If you're focusing on administration and security, the CIS Azure Benchmark is an excellent resource for identifying best practices.
If you're new to Azure, I'd recommend checking out the Microsoft AZ-104 docs and labs. They provide a solid foundation to build upon. Also, you don’t have to digest everything at once; tackling it in smaller chunks can make it easier!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely look into those specific features.
