Time to break into a little bit of technical review I think. So today I have spent some time reviewing from the ground up all the key learning points around Azure Identity and Governance. I’m following the MS Learn resources for the AZ-104 exam that can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/learn/paths/az-104-manage-identities-governance/

• Creating Azure Users and Groups in Azure
• Managing Users and Groups in Azure
• Self Service Password Reset (SSPR)
• Subscription Access using Roles Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Securing Azure Resources using Roles Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Create Custom Roles for Azure Resources using RBAC
• Control and Organise Azure Resources with Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
• Predicting Costs and Optimising spend in Azure
• Analyse Cost and Creating Budgets with Azure Cost Management
• Moving Azure Resources to another Resource Group
• Manage Device Identity with Azure AD Join and Enterprise Site Roaming

So looking at the content described above there is a lot to get through! There is an estimate of time to run through all the resources of around 4.5 hours on average, if you are familiar with some areas then try not to skip through them too fast as you may miss some added content and information.

The Microsoft Learn website has been drastically overhauled and content has been created in Ernest over the last few months to the extent that there are now a huge amount of new sessions and learning paths that I haven’t seen. I’m a big advocate of learning things from the ground up, just so that you don’t skip over that small little detail that you might think you already know!

Technology in general is changing at such a fast pace, and this is even more so with Microsoft technologies with new features to Azure and its components been developed and release in Preview or General Availability at a break neck speed. So, what you thought you knew yesterday may not necessarily be the case today!

In all honesty I had started looking at some of the earlier modules and then have spent a good 4-5 hours this morning and into the afternoon working through the other modules. It has been a great refresher of some areas, and great to run through this new content that explains some of the more new feature sets that I haven’t had a great deal of exposure to as of yet.
