Hey everyone! I'm really new to Azure and just completed the AZ-900 and SC-900 certifications. As a cybersecurity student, I'm looking to gain more practical, hands-on knowledge about Azure before deciding on further certifications. I'm specifically interested in finding free resources, like YouTube videos or websites, that provide guidance on Azure itself rather than focusing on certifications. Any suggestions?

Have you thought about the Applied Skills credentials? I know you wanted to avoid certs, but people have shared positive feedback about those. They might be worth considering for practical skills.
I'd recommend starting with Microsoft Learn. It’s free and includes hands-on labs that you can access directly from your browser. It's a great way to explore the different Azure services without just focusing on certifications. For video content, John Savill's Azure channel on YouTube is fantastic—his explanations about core services are really clear and easy to follow.
Another great way to learn is to utilize the Azure free tier. Try creating small projects like setting up a virtual machine, deploying a simple web app, or storing files in Blob Storage. Building these small projects can teach you a lot more than just watching tutorials.
I’m curious why you chose Azure over other platforms like AWS or Google Cloud? Just wondering what draws you in!
