Bro what is the point, there's no correlation between those articles and the course. Azure is a multibillion dollar industry. If you don't like the tech stack that's cool and all but these are valuable in that ecosystem.

Not a fan of blindly obtaining certifications. It's a waist of time. Unless you're absolutely proficient in the skill during an interview you'll just end up looking stupid and annoying the hiring manager.

Free Lesson Number 1: Microsoft Entra is replacing Azure
Entra is just a rebrand of the IdP… Azure as a Cloud ecosystem remains.

1)It's free T/M shaping of knowledge.
2) It gets more hits from employer searches
3) It's just another tool in your kit.
4) Even if you are not proficient, you can communicate this during the hiring process as well as your reason for obtaining it. It shows ambition and the ability to start and complete goals/tasks.

All other things being equal, it sets you apart from those that do not have it. This is coming from a person who used to think certs were a joke because most people back end up being literal certified idiots.

This is no different than any certificate you can earn from Coursera or other places. No job will "require" this, it's just a skill to add to a resume. While it won't hurt, it's not THAT beneficial. It will show employers that you are willing to learn at least.

Not as good as previous deals where an actually useful exam was offered rather than overhyped AI. But free is free and maybe I'll learn something useful or just waste 20 hours.
Overhyped? Have you seen what Sora can do?

Huh? Entra is just an identity management piece. It's not a replacement for the entire Azure.
