This repository is meant to help you get certified in Microsoft Azure. It contains various resources and links to help you level up in developing applications for Microsoft Azure. Feel free to help out with new resources if you find any relevant ones. The information in this repository is basedo on the skills measured in the exam. You can read the details here on the Microsoft website: Exam AZ-203: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure
Azure can be quite intimidating because of the vast amount of services and options. Therefore it would make sense to choose a specific learning path in order to learn how Azure can be used within the area you work in. I would recommend everyone getting started with Azure to visit the Microsoft Learn portal. The portal is a great resource for getting familiar with services in Azure.
The exam consists of these areas:
- Develop Azure Infrastructure as a Service Compute Solutions (10-15%)
- Develop Azure Platform as a Service Compute Solutions (20-25%)
- Develop for Azure storage (15-20%)
- Implement Azure security (10-15%)
- Connect to and Consume Azure Services and Third-party Services (20-25%)
Each area will be described with links to the individual subjects.

I have created a set of Tinycards to help you practice for the exam. However, the exam does require you to code. The cards will therefore only be for yourself to practice knowledge regarding central concepts of the subjects.
EXAM AZ-203: Flash Cards for Practicing
The code samples are created by Microsoft and contain samples for each of the project areas. Only the areas where programming is necessary is represented in the samples. Some of the areas are primarily focused on the portal.
- Develop Azure Infrastructure as a Service Compute Solutions (10-15%)
- Develop Azure Platform as a Service Compute Solutions (20-25%)
- Develop for Azure storage (15-20%)
- Implement Azure security (10-15%)
- Connect to and Consume Azure Services and Third-party Services (20-25%)
It is possible to find relevant exam questions online. Here are a few links to relevant questions to help you prepare. These are closer than the flash cards to how your exam will actually look.
