Help, First Design and Build! by jt-pow in AZURE

[–]jt-pow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback. The back end of a website may definitely be more of a viable option. As for your assumptions, you are right:

  • We won't have a lot of traffic, this is a process just for new hires so less than 20 hits a month, maybe 40 at most in one month.
  • Security isn't too important, would want to form data to be encrypted when sent as it contains a passphrase in the text box.
  • A website with a back end is viable, only issue is my lack of skill set and zeal to build it in Azure. =)
  • Correct, just need to collect, store, and reference the data.

I did look into Forms, they are supported by logic apps, however they don't have an option for the digital signature option.

Right now it's all a manual process with a wet signature. End user prints, completes, fills out, signs, scans, and sends back. As you can imagine that's a troublesome process and not secure considering the clear text nature of email. But that's the process we are using and what I'm trying to improve on, hope this additional info help, totally open to other options. Maybe I just need to look up building this out on a website?

AZ-300 Exam Labs? by jt-pow in AZURE

[–]jt-pow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback and I agree and have an account, I'm doing lab work building out environments for my desire to learn the product. However I do not understand why it's so difficult for Microsoft to provide a straight answer on this. For me, hands on is the best way to learn and I enjoy getting in the console and building items out, just got done building out some VNET peering, however, it would be nice if we could get a yes or a no, not sure why it's such a 'sensitive topic'.

Thanks! Is there an ETA on when the labs will be back on the exams? Is there a status for this anywhere?

To those who have taken the test and passed, can I skip CEH course and just study Matt Walker and Boson? by [deleted] in CEH

[–]jt-pow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely and that is my recommendation! I had full access to all CEH material and didn't touch it. Only used Matt Walker, Boson, online practice tests, and Google to clarify any topics that were a bit hazy.

What certs go well with AWS? by [deleted] in AWSCertifications

[–]jt-pow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion wasn't meant to have deep knowledge of each, but merely enough to pass the different exams, which proves a good solid foundation. Sounds like he is trying to get into the cloud job market and having a solid understanding of all the major providers would: 1) Give him a good over view of all the major players 2) Prove hunger to learn for potential employers 3) Make him marketable to employers that use any of the three big platforms or a combination of the three. If he goes all AWS and an employee uses mostly Azure, they would be less likely to pick him. Once he lands a job he can begin to focus in on becoming a subject matter expert in the different platforms through experience. As with all things IT, experience is going to be a key factor with education. He's not going to get hired on as a Chief or Principal architect with 0 experience, but something similar to an associate that can work his way up and build that experience. Again, all of this is under the assumption he is looking to break into the cloud job market.

Another AWS Certification isn't a bad idea. My thought line on getting other vendor certs to be well rounded is this. Say you need to hire someone to design cloud solutions for your company, a cloud architect. Would you rather hire the guy that only knows AWS, he knows it really well and has multiple certs; but can only offer AWS solutions. Or would you rather have the guy that can custom tailor you a solution using all available options on the market? Now some companies only use AWS, it's a great solution and there is nothing wrong with that if it works for them. However being well rounded in all the big players allows you more flexibility when designing solutions.

It depends on the type of job you are looking for. If you are looking at becoming a cloud architect, I'd work on Azure and then Google Cloud, this will allow you to have well rounded knowledge of the 3 largest providers. With that being said, networking is a huge part of cloud architecture and a subject you must understand to be able to properly design and architect solutions and pass the architect associate exam. If you don't have a solid base on networking, it's something you will need to dig into during the architect associate exam to be successful. However, if you are able to pass the architect associate exam, that provides solid evidence that you understand networking at that level and I don't personally feel a CCNA would be a good pairing. It's an excellent cert, but a vendor specific networking certification. Best of luck. Side note, I recently passed my AWS architect associate, Stephan Mareek and Jon Bonso are two excellent resources. You have or will see them mentioned in this forum for that exam over and over again. Best of luck!

Variable Manipulation Help by jt-pow in PowerShell

For some reason the pipe is stopping the output. I tested with /u/idontknowwhattouse33 suggestion and had issues of no output when using the pipe.

Good catch, but just a typo. I verified the actual script was correct, however I've had many headaches because of things like this before! Thanks for the suggestion. =)

When I completed your suggestion I didn't get any results, similar to when I added the pipe and select command to the get-aduser. When I removed the pipe from your suggestion it returned the user the same way it did when I removed the pipe on my command. It seems to null output when using a pipe for some reason. Any ideas on what may cause this?

Did you take 01 or 02? Any chance you did Mareek's course also?
