Reviewer's verdict

A 30-minute glossary. It's not a course for anyone who builds software, just a list of product names to memorize for an exam.

Who it's for

Absolute beginners needing a quick map of Azure compute product names.

Who should skip it

Developers or engineers looking for how to build or deploy anything.

Pros

  • Extremely fast to complete.
  • Covers the official names for VMs, Containers, and Functions.
  • Updated recently with correct product marketing.

Cons

  • No hands-on component; purely a vocabulary list.
  • Knowledge check questions are simple recall of marketing copy.
  • Oversimplifies complex services to a single paragraph.

The 'Knowledge check' is a five-question quiz that just asks you to parrot back the one-line description of a service. You could pass it without reading the module just by guessing which marketing term fits the blank. It feels like prep for a sales certification, not an engineering one.

This isn't really training. It's a tour of a product catalog. It tells you that Virtual Machines exist, that Containers exist, and that Functions exist. That's it. There's no lab, no sandbox, no 'try this command.' Nothing to build. You just read the names of services. I get that it's for the AZ-900 exam, but calling it training for a 'Developer' or 'DevOps Engineer' role is a stretch. It's a glossary with a progress bar.
