I am in the network world from long time, worked mostly with Cisco and after the CCNA I took also the CCNP and the CCIE. I was expecting a network certification Azure related and finally here we are! I am very happy with this and will take the exam as soon as possible! Thank you!
Thanks for keeping us up to date! I will continue to follow you.
