Hi everyone! I'm starting a new role after spending over four years with AWS focused on Cloud Security. My new job involves a significant amount of work with Azure and other Microsoft services. I'm looking for recommendations on forums or YouTube channels that could help me navigate this transition better. Additionally, I'd love to know which resources are best for learning about Azure security, Sentinel, and Defender. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this has been covered before!

Check out the Azure Architecture Center on Microsoft's docs; it's a solid resource. They also have a page specifically designed for people transitioning from AWS, which could really help you get up to speed. You should also look into John Savill's YouTube channel for fantastic content on Azure topics, including certifications and familiarization resources.

I used to work with AWS too, and I found that Microsoft Learn is the best starting point. They have a dedicated section for AWS professionals that makes learning Azure a lot easier. John Savill's content on YouTube is also highly recommended for quick and clear explanations, especially concerning Azure Defender and Sentinel.

CloudExplorer99: Thanks for the tips! Iโ€™ll definitely check out John Savillโ€™s videos.
