I am a big admirer of your work, such a simple insightfull explaination. Your videos have motivated me to learn azure cloud, I have cleared AZ-900 & AZ-204 certification with videos you have compiled. Though there are no videos related to 204 but videos which are in current playlist are good enough to cover 80% of the 204 subject. Thank you again for all this, keep inspiring.

I've seen so far all of the videos up to this point. The quality in terms of content, visual aids, and highly well explained is AWESOME. But this video in particula, so far, seems to me the BEST. What a work you do Adam, I haven't seen so far any other material better than yours (trully). Thanks so much for being so generous on sharing your knowledge.

[KINJALKPARTHRA]

[shankarsharmas]

I would like to thank you Adam.. because of you today I cleared my Az-900 exam .
Thank you for this wonderful content .

[sreekanthreddylingamdinne]

I never found a video(in-terms of cloud technology explanation) except your videos on azure. The explanations are at next level. I red the whole documentation of AD and RBAC on Microsoft docs and got sleep 😴. But when I was watching video about AD and RBAC I felt like 👍 now I’m a ACE in AD and RBAC. I have a only goal 🥅 for 2021 which is completing the azure fundamentals certification along with terraform. With your videos it is not going to be impossible thing for me. Exceptional videos.

[PrettyPennyClub]
