The Microsoft AZ-400 Exam (Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions) is the next certification I am going to be aiming for. The exam information can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-400

This will play its part on the pathway to the Microsoft Certified DevOps Engineer Expert Certification and will give me a depth of knowledge across the Microsoft DevOps architecture!

The Microsoft Learn materials can be found structured as 6 discrete Learning Pathways (of which I am aiming to complete over the coming days) this blog post is Part 2 of my studies on the Learning Pathway:

• AZ-400 Develop an Instrumentaiton Strategy

This pathway is structured into 12 modules of which I have completed the final 7 modules:

• Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework – Performance efficiency
• Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework – Operational excellence
• Analyze your Azure infrastructure by using Azure Monitor logs
• Capture and view page load times in your Azure web app with Application Insights
• Instrument server-side web application code with Application Insights
• Monitor cloud resources
• React to state changes in your Azure services by using Event Grid

This initial Learning Pathway sets the scene with the baseline of tooling available to ensure any DevOps strategy has a good grounding and the operator has factored in a set of best practices based on the opportunity being worked on.
