Day 550 Of 100 Days of Cloud: Ringing In The New Year Right

January 3, 2022 is Day 550 of 100 Days of cloud. I started this challenge July 5, 2020. It has been a learning experience.

Since Day 525 of 100 Days of Cloud, I have completed

• 12/13–12/16 — Attended SC-300 the Microsoft Certification Week for Partners
• 12/16 — Sit for the AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect Expert beta exam
• 12/19 — Accepted into the Google Cloud Jumpstart Program
• 12/22 — Oracle Cloud extended its free exam prep and certification promotion until Feb. 2022
• 01/02 — Complete the AZ-500 December 2021 Microsoft Cloud Skills Challenge for a free voucher

SC-300 Microsoft Certification Week for Partners

This free 4-day training saved my fanny with the AZ-305 beta exam because none of the training prep materials covered Azure AD from an administrator’s viewpoint. I never forgot how on day 4 the instructor reviewed entitlement management and that was the correct answer on the exam. I wrote both companies about my experience and how to update their product.

Since then I also received my free exam voucher and practice exam. I will sit for this exam first quarter 2022.
