I'm a computer science graduate with some IT experience, and the Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) exam doesn't seem especially difficult for me. I'd like to prepare quickly and avoid paying for a formal course. Is a good YouTube course combined with Microsoft Learn and other free study materials enough to pass?

Microsoft Learn’s official AZ-900 learning path can be enough on its own. It covers the exam objectives directly, so use it as your core study material and supplement it with videos or practice questions where needed.
AZ-900 is mainly a broad overview of Azure services and what they’re used for, rather than a hands-on or deeply technical exam. If you have some Azure familiarity, you can probably prepare quickly with free content.
Yes, free resources should be enough for AZ-900, especially if you already understand basic IT and cloud concepts. John Savill’s course is a popular option, but watch a sample first to make sure his teaching style and pace work for you.
Free study material is fine for this certification, but don’t just memorize service names. Make sure you understand the basic concepts and how the services differ, since that foundation will make later Azure certifications much easier.
