Wow I only have az-900 and studied the AZ-104 material and I new almost all answers or at least understood the answer

Simple and easy to understand, to the point, and the content seems very relevant!

Kevin, your videos are always awesome. I thoroughly enjoy them. Thanks

These insights were helpful and right to the point. However, I don't find NoSQL documents more complex than traditional tables. I understand this video is meant to be high-level, but could you dive into the speed differences between querying data from a NoSQL database versus a SQL database? I've heard varying opinions on this. Let me give you a specific scenario: If you were building a financial database that required handling a large amount of numerical data, involving either aggregation or joining multiple tables, and needed to be highly flexible— which type of database would offer better speed, flexibility, and scalability?

This kind of content is helpful. Any chance you have an overview of some of the concepts that cloud engineering or Devops utilizes for us to dig into?

Would this also be cloud ops questions

Thanks for this video, it helped me a lot.

These are very basic, so much so that if you didnt know any of them you probably do not deserve the job so its useless in the form of interview questions better used as a learning tutorial for students
