Hey everyone! I'm currently managing a big Azure environment in my organization and have a solid grip on complex compute, networking, and core infrastructure services. I'm thinking about getting certified as an Azure Administrator and Solutions Architect. The catch? I'm an expert in Linux and Kubernetes, but PowerShell and Windows are just not my thing. I've got a lot of tooling experience with Bash, Go, Python, Rust, etc. So, I'm wondering if anyone who recently got certified can weigh in on whether PowerShell is necessary for these certifications? Can I accomplish everything using Azure CLI instead?

Honestly, if you’re comfortable with Go and the other languages you mentioned, adding PowerShell to your toolkit shouldn’t be a big deal. I mainly use it for quick scripts while managing Azure, but for anything substantial, I prefer using more robust languages like Go.
It's surprising how many people avoid PowerShell! I actually find it more enjoyable than Python and easier than Bash. The Azure CLI handles a lot, but if you want to implement more complex logic, you’ll likely need to use a language like Python in tandem with it. Plus, once you know Python, picking up PowerShell isn't a huge leap—it's all about those Cmdlets!
It sounds like you manage a decent-sized environment on your own? Just keep in mind that the Azure exams cover a broad range of topics. If you’re heavily focused on Kubernetes, you might want to get some exposure to other Azure services to prep properly!
