Hey everyone, I've just passed the AZ-104 along with AZ-900 and AI-900, and I'm eager to gain some hands-on experience to better understand how to use the Azure platform effectively for future job opportunities. I've recently been laid off and want to build a strong portfolio that showcases my skills to potential employers. I'd really appreciate some guidance or project ideas that could help me on this journey. Thanks a lot!

I was in your shoes not too long ago after getting laid off too. Focusing on using tools like Azure CLI and Terraform really boosted my hands-on experience. I started by building a multi-tier application using a project from GitHub, which taught me about CI/CD processes. It took a while, but I eventually landed a role in cloud architecture. Keep pushing forward, you'll get there!
Are you leaning more towards the Entra/Infra part of Azure, or are you interested in solutions like networking or serverless applications? Identifying your focus area can help shape your projects better. It could really enhance your portfolio to highlight the specific skills you're developing.
I see myself using a few of those sectors since I'm a quick learner. I do have some basics with Compute on the solutions side and know a bit about Entra ID for user management.
What would you suggest for the Entra side? I'm also interested in Intune and how it fits into things.
