I'll still study for the certifications. I plan on learning them regardless, for my own benefit.

[heretolevitateme]

Remember when Microsoft removed the Start Menu?

[chrisbradley]

Maybe the next move will be CompTia removing a lot of the legacy equipment from their training.

Thanks to you Chuck, I now have my first Cert under my belt, the AZ-900!
And plan to continue along the Admin role path. Thank you for this and all your other insightful, relevant and inspirational videos!!! 🙏🏾
P.S. - you should read through (and reply in) the comments on this upload...lots of great feedback/questions...ah mean, it's only over a thousand comments! 🙂

Microsoft needs to explain this to employers that still required MSCE or other such certs. I suspect that a lot of people who formerly studied for Microsoft certs are now studying Linux.

While I totally approve of them getting more and more cloud certifications and role based certifications going, they are about 5 years too early in getting rid of the MCSE. I've worked with tons of companies from $500 million and smaller, and very few of them have switched to cloud fully. In fact, most of them haven't switched to cloud at all. They're mostly on prem organizations and still will be for 5 to 10 years. Cloud isn't economical for businesses below $500 million in many, many situations. So while definitely things are moving that way they're way too early in doing this. At least the MCSE should be continuing on for 5 more years. Hyperv clusters and standalone servers will still dominate many small to mid size businesses (500 mill and lower) for years to come. Sure, new startups will likely go cloud based to start, but existing small/medium businesses are a long way from major cloud implementations, but have server, dr, and database needs.

Well.... I think this is REALLY messed up. On-Prem isn't going anywhere as well and these skills are also very needed (and will be, for a long time).

I hate M$ for doing this. I've seen it coming for a while - it's in fact one of the reasons I started down a Cisco track to give me the option of swapping to network engineer roles. But Azure or cloud services has never grabbed my interest like Server or virtualisation did. Cloud services provide options that on-prem can't in terms of cost efficiency sure, but it feels too front-end, not back-end. Like I'm learning to click a button instead of understanding what the button does and why it exists. I can't provide the same guarantee of quality in Azure that I can with Server. My interest lies with on-prem infrastructure and until Azure gives me some wow factor, I'll probably only touch it when absolutely necessary. Also, Aussie internet still sucks. I can't imagine running big things in cloud instead of on-prem.

Interviewer: how do you tune a sql db?
Interviewee: spin up a new and bigger instance and migrate to it
Interviewer: you are hired (and shake hand)

The thing about the cloud, it's still somebody else's computer.

[wayneious]

Ironically we are pulling back to a more physical environment from the cloud. This is just silly.

[rodneyford]

Yeah I completed the MS-900. Now I'm working the MS-200 and MS-201. I'm an Exchange Administrator but after migrating my mailboxes to O365 and decommissioning my Lync server in favor of SfB Online, we began taking advantage of Microsoft's other services in O365 and Azure. As our needs grew, the more I had to learn about Azure, so these Role-based certs seem to be a good thing. FYI the Messaging Administrator Cert does cover On-Prem, Hybrid, and Cloud only environments. I've been waiting for CBTNugget videos for these new certs. It looks like you guys have started rolling them out now.

[mcsehoski]

There are a lot of small to medium sized businesses that have on prem servers relatively rural areas. These businesses almost can’t move to the cloud because internet access is expensive and unreliable still in these areas. They still need people building networks and operating servers on premises. Knowing azure is a great skill to have but what if your infrastructure is in a private cloud on VMware not running the azure stack? Facepalm!!!!

[gabi-swzw]

Just used your course on AZ-900 last week. Working towards 104 in two weeks!

[brettlaw]

That's an interesting way to get everyone's data.

[mwcool]

So glad I got my MCSA in SQL Server 2012/2014 a few years ago. It forced me to really know my stuff and led to a great job, looks like I got it in the nick of time!

[indarjones]

This is crazy Chuck...on premise is fundamental...VM's still run on physical boxes...This is wack

[audiencemember]

Microsoft is obviously looking to eliminate all on prem solutions. They'll probably come up with some special cloud based server that isn't designed to run on prem then phase out on prem solutions through lack of support and updates. The future is having all our computers hosted in large hives, your ISP will provide your OS through kubernetes or hosted docker containers.

Just a push to migrate everyone to Azure, marketing won this round
