AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — prep for the 20 July 2026 skills outline (in Russian)

Exam-focused preparation for AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, built strictly against the skills measured as of 20 July 2026. Nineteen required units cover all three domains at their official weights: cloud concepts, Azure architecture and services, management and governance. Every service is taught as pain, then solution, then cost — because the exam asks which option fits a constraint, not what a service is called. A dedicated unit untangles the pairs candidates confuse most: Advisor and Monitor and Service Health, VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute, RBAC and Policy and resource locks, Cool and Archive, availability zones and region pairs. Three optional units cover databases, traffic delivery and secrets — useful at work, explicitly out of exam scope. Course text is in Russian; Azure service names stay in English, as you will meet them on the exam and in the portal.

Your lesson is in your language: your assistant leads it.

  • Material: Russian
  • Exam: Russian — taken on the site, not translated
How it works

Your assistant takes the course material from our server and leads the lesson in your language.

The exam is taken on the site, without an assistant. Exam questions are not translated: this is decided for every course.
