Sounds great! Alas, it's all Azure and I'm an AWS guy. Hopefully AWS does something like this soon.





Also azure services are utterly frustrating to work with. They will have too many strange quirks. the portals load super slow and UI breaks constantly with error codes because azure uses unexplained and incomplete merges of services and data that is never clean or tested. I pity the folks that need to live with it.

You're right, and I appreciate your pity.

Yes, every time I'm on a client using Azure I mutter under my breath. An example of a quirk is that you cannot turn on private endpoints on an Azure Function. You have to delete and recreate the resource. WHYY?!?

It's wild that this post has 9 "likes", but the post that it responded to has only 1 "dislike" (& no "likes"). This post basically confirms & agrees with the original post, so what am i missing (why the discrepancy)?

Just pick one and go with it. But IT is a massive umbrella...networking, sysadmin, security, cloud, dev/coding, AI, etc. If you're new to IT, just start off with CompTIA A+ and go from there.

For AI Fest Skill certification, I completed "Accessibility in practice". Got the voucher. Anybody has an idea where to claim that AI Fest Certificate for credbly? I can't find it anywhere.
Or, do we have to complete all playlists under developer etc?

Edit: Found out, it says in the doc provided
"Q. How long will it take to receive my Credly badge? A. You will receive your Credly badge via email by June 19th following the close of the event."
