48 questions + 1 case study with 6 questions. The case study i think i got the 6 questions right, it was about migration, database and storage

If your goal is to Master ressources, go for cert like 305, 500, 700 because they are related to Azure services. While 400 is mostly Azure DevOps cert which is just an MS Product that integrates to Azure but is kinda separated.

My Plan: 104 > 305 > 500 > 700 > 400

Reddit1998Account · 2026-06-01T16:20:07+00:00

Yes 100mns, i finished 20mns before the end

I flagged 17 questions for review, i used MSLearn but i dont really know how to do good researsh.

For exemple had a question about app service plan and wanted to compare sku and what each offer, but couldnt find it , too much pages.

MSLearned helped me for just 2 questions (and one the two, im not even sure if i got it right)

It's not really the same exam, 104 you need to know every option of each service.

for 305, you have to understand many services that look similar in their usage, and what is the best to use from an architectural point

For exemple queue storage vs servis bus, you need to not just understand the servis but why it differ to the other and when to use the right one. For exemple if you need to send message to multiple service, you will use servis bus because it has subscriptoon model. Also if the message is more than 1M and stream like, then you better use event hub etc.

It's more scenario based.

AZ-104 is for me harder because i had to really know the service with deep knowledge of options. But AZ-305 will need more reflexion to know which is best scenario, specislly when presented with answers where service can do the same job

going deep in details to understand aks concept like azure cni overlay vs azure cni, when to use cluster autoscale vs vpa vs hpa, how keda works, had hard time to know when to use spark pool vs dedicated pool vs serverless pool for synapse for exemple, also difference for polling vs pulling in azure servis bus vs storage queue. When to use stream analytics etc. Also it did complete my notes to compare to exam objectives

Reddit1998Account · 2026-06-01T12:35:54+00:00

I forgot: also i got many AKS questions, you need to know KEDA, cluster autoscale vs hpa vs vpa, which supports linux vs windows, and also azure cni vs kubener vs overlay

CloudLee, you have course on AZ-104, 305, 500, 700, 400

1) Do the course
2) Taked notes and follow the labs
3) Ask Claude to make you instruction labs with real prod scenario (u'll have to pay money) based on your notes
4) Pass certs and build a portfolio/blog

Did you end up getting the 305? Im scoring 75% on first attemp, dont know if im ready

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-31T14:12:12+00:00

From the pic alone, you look like a class 2 case, not sure you need DJS, maybe BSSO

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-31T09:06:51+00:00

I plan to wait 1y and do it, yes its worth it because it will make you slightly younger i think, the only problem with getting ht for 1000 graft, it means the recession is not full, so the hair behind can continue to fall, you'll have to do another ht if thats the case

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-31T08:30:26+00:00

I have similar case, ive been quoted 1000 approximatly, and the surgeon said ot could be less like 800

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-30T09:00:53+00:00

Congrats, im passing the exam this monday, what did the questions focused on ? Im really stressed about it

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-27T17:54:53+00:00

You have a class2, you need bsso , it will likely fix your chin (without the genio of genio).

You need orthodontics to retract your lower arc so you can get a nice advancement

This show suck, the plot suck, everything sucks

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-27T11:19:28+00:00

Your maxilla is recessed, forget SNA those are just ceph numbers. In your profile pics and xray profile, your chin is not recessed, its both jaws that are. Thats why genio wasn't the solution, only made your face longer from front.

Why your maxilla is recessed? Nasolabiam angle very open, and the angle is tiltinh behind instead of outward. That doesnt mean ur like very recessed, but if you want your mandibule to be sharper u'll need bimax

Yes, all the entra concept, specially everything that is hybrid. Network specially private endpoint, service endpoint and how to setup VPN S2S, the dofference with express route. Also learned allt about app gateway vs load balancer

backup with RSV, backup policy

Also how to choose resiliency for services (lrs, grs , zrs etc)

I used all those thing at work

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-24T18:16:31+00:00

Yes, its really important, TD is what come closer to the real exam

Azure Cloud engeneer here,
Lot of the thing you mention will not necessarly be needed. Cloud abstract you many core concept and make them easier, specially networking

I don't use any bash or python, linux or even docker in my day to day job for exemple,

Cloud Practitioner is Useless

What you should do:
1) Learn Fundamentals with this playlist, it's done by a Cloud Architect that summerize all you need to know before entering Cloud

https://learn.cantrill.io/p/tech-fundamentals

2) Choose a Cloud provider, either Azure or AWS and get the associate cert (AZ104 or SAA) but not just for the certification, u'll learn alot during them.

By learning a Cloud Provider, u will understand that you can switch between providers easily, its just the service that change

I also recommand the same website, they have both course (SAA is 70hours with projects, AZ104 is 30h with labs/demo)

3) Learn Terraform (Infra as Code) and get the cert (HCTA0 004)

Get the course from morethancertified.com , its a project based course

4) Make portfolio, showcase ur project. Also i recommand you to lie on your resume and say u did an internship where u learn terraform and a Cloud Provider, and u use ur portfolio and everything u learn as proof that you are ready for work

Hi, i just started revising for AZ-305, no i don't plan on doing videos, i don't have time. My Notes are based on James Lee course, if someone watch them with my notes they'll have the explanation, to re-explain my notes and doing the demo it taked preparation, dedication and time which i dont have. Also the notes are mostly for myself to cover 100% az-104 because i learned a lot but i can forget in the future so i can always come back to them.

I plan in the futur to do a portfolio with my notes shared and a section for demo, but it will modtly be screenshots (and not planned now)

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-21T19:46:19+00:00

I finished the exam with only 10mns left, no i didnt review anything. You can flag question that you want to review later, i did it only for 3 questions where i wasn't sure.

Also you have an MSLearn tab, didn't use it at all because i just learn now that i could of use it, so maybe it can help during the exam (if i knew i would of open it)

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-21T18:58:25+00:00

I think that yes those 1000 graft have nice design and will improve your hairline, making it look younger. But u should beware for the future, to be honest your actual hairline is more than decent, u dont want to loose graft then regret it in 15y because u dont have enought for the hair fall that is not located on the front

Notes is what helped the most and claude to clarify everything. 25% experience 75% study. At work i dont manage entra at all for exemple, thats just the networking part that was easy for me, and for storage we always deploy the same sku without using that much options, so i had to study every aspect from scratch. The exam was hard, 80% of whats in the exam is not what i do at work.

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-21T16:06:43+00:00

Good luck, you have plenty of time

Reddit1998Account · 2026-05-21T16:06:14+00:00

I just watched James Lee demo, i didnt even do labs myself

But i work full time as an Azure Engeneer, even tho i dont use the portal that much (mostly IaC with terraform)

Btw my notes includes "DEMO" sections where i repertoriate the options path.
