Study plan
Use Microsoft Applied Skills-style learning: every module should prove one concrete task such as deploy, secure, automate, analyze, monitor, or govern.
Connect Azure developer services to identity, secrets, monitoring, pipelines, data, and security operations before moving into certification review.
Build evidence packs with portal or CLI output, access model, deployment state, logs, alerts, policy state, and rollback instructions.
Hands-on labs
Deploy an Azure API or web app with managed identity, Key Vault access, environment variables, logs, health checks, and rollback evidence.
Create a Sentinel-style security triage worksheet with identity signals, alert evidence, containment decision, and escalation note.
Design an Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipeline with build, test, scan, approval, deployment, verification, and rollback.
Build a data pipeline design using Data Factory-style orchestration, storage, SQL or lakehouse targets, quality checks, and cost evidence.
Create a Power Automate workflow that supports a business process with trigger, approvals, audit trail, error handling, and reporting.

Practice questions
What makes Microsoft Applied Skills different from broad exam study?
Applied Skills focus on proving a specific scenario task, such as deploying, securing, automating, or monitoring a solution, with observable implementation evidence.
What should Azure learners capture after a deployment lab?
They should capture deployment output, resource configuration, identity and secret access, logs or metrics, health checks, cost notes, and rollback or cleanup instructions.
