I'm new to Azure and recently completed the AZ-900/SC-900 certifications. As a cybersecurity student, I'm eager to gain more practical, hands-on knowledge about Azure before deciding on a specific certification path. I'm looking for free resources—not just those focused on certification—but general Azure learning materials, like YouTube videos or websites. Any recommendations?

I recommend starting with Microsoft Learn. It’s completely free and includes hands-on labs that you can try right in your browser. It's a great way to explore different Azure services without only focusing on certifications.
For video content, check out John Savill’s Azure channel on YouTube. He breaks down core Azure services and architecture in a really clear way, making it easy to understand.
Also, take advantage of the Azure free tier. You can create small projects like setting up a virtual machine, deploying a simple web app, or managing files with Blob Storage. Doing these projects is a fantastic way to learn practically instead of just watching tutorials.
You mentioned not wanting cert-focused content, but have you looked into the Applied Skills credentials? I haven't done them myself, but I've heard they provide some good learning paths that could complement your Azure knowledge.
I'm curious, why specifically are you interested in Azure? There are so many cloud platforms out there, I wonder what draws you to this one.
