Haha... I guess you've been on an MS Learn scheme huh! I felt the samestart. The MS Learn isn't very practical, it's too much theory and not enough practice. Going through these questions do put you in a work type of environment and therefore gives you more practical experience. It will settle, don't give up. Best wishes

I did the AZ-900 course (and passed the exam), the AZ-103 course, the AZ-104 course from Microsoft Learn and the MOC course for AZ-104: as always, the exam's topics are too many and too big to be covered by those learning materials. Experience counts up to a certain point: you can have 3 years of experience (more then the 6 months required for the exam, as per Microsoft Docs page) and you still could not pass the exam.

Same applies to Microsoft paid instructor-led AZ104 courses. I can't see how somebody can successfully pass the exam exclusively with az104 course material.

I did the official MS course and the instructor themselves tell you that the course is not enough to pass and you need to put way more work to pass the test.

Good to know cause our instructor literally told us to proceed with the exam prep session right away after the course so that the knowledge gained from the course remains fresh for the exam!!! What a load of bullcrap! And indeed looking at the full list of questions found here the Microsoft provided courses are definitely not enough.

I somewhat disagree. I am for one certainly not here to memorize answers. What is the point of getting the certificate without knowing the matter?! Whenever I end up on a question where I feel that my knowledge is shaky or downright lacking I can do some research and actually learn / understand what I couldn't have if I had only limited myself to Microsoft's "official" way of preparing for the exam. It is kind of messed up but yeah if one believes that he can pass the exam solely on what's being taught by Microsoft you will be in for a rude wakening.

So let me get this straight. All this advanced cloud computing stuff and the way they do this is by having people physically mail physical disks to an Azure data center?

Yup. Some servers are NEVER allowed to access any external sources, so the only way to create backups is manual. There is also the issue of data sovereignity. Their original motivation was that some data is just too large to transfer over network in a given amount of time, but considering today's speeds, I'd say that unless you have thousands of terabytes of data to transfer, you can probably send it over the network in batches with no problem.
