Passed Azure AI-900. Was a little worried because they just updated the test and I had little hands on experience in Azure but everything was covered in the learn module.

Stand back, this could get messy.

I just started ITIL foundations which I'm really enjoying being a daywalker in the IT field. Curious if companies actually care about it though.

I don't know the different ITIL certs but I can say I see them quite a bit in government job postings. Usually as a "nice to have". Get it and throw it on the resume.

I need about three fitty


It’s nice to get past some HR filters or make you stand out slightly against equal candidates. Not the worst cert to get, but also not a game changer.

Renewed my AWS Solutions Architect which I didnt even know was coming due soon. Now back to a year of no certs.

Hoping to get free time to just play around with k8s on my companies dime.

Not to try and braindump the test, but I'm assuming the written questions were from the learn module? Also the hands-on portions? I went through the learn module and got my free pass to take the test, but I want to make sure I'm prepared

Hows the Cysa+ regarded? Wondering if I should pursue that from Net+ I got last year

I got ahead of myself and assumed the Enterprise Skills Initiative would pay for the AZ-900 so i went ahead and bought a MeasureUp 1Year Subscription... BEFORE i researched and found out they no longer pay in full



do they even offer Exam Voucher discounts at all anymore?

It seems like it's neither positively or negatively regarded. Because it's not regarded at all. I had to explain to my boss that it refreshed my Sec+.

It did help me in 2-3 sections of CiSSP

I''ll probably take CASP to refresh both the CySA and sec+ next year.

It can check some boxes for US government IT jobs, either as a contractor or federal employee.

I knocked out my AWS Solutions Architect Pro and DevOps Engineer Pro, which aren't too bad if you use AWS daily. The most significant part is reviewing stuff you don't use too often, e.g., analytics or ML.

I've worked on the federal and now contractor sides of the house for government contracts, yet neither has emphasized certs. Just pass the clearance/public trust and do your job. Granted, I'm not in any management position, but I should knock out others without "cert padding." Maybe CISSP, but ignore the AWS Specialty certs for now.
