1.6. Reflection Checkpoint: Setting the Stage
You’ve completed the foundational phase of your AZ-104 journey. Before diving into the technical depths, pause to reflect and consolidate your understanding of the core principles that govern all effective cloud administration.
Scenario: You've just finished reviewing the core Azure concepts and interfaces. You need to consolidate your understanding and prepare for the next phase of detailed implementation.
Self-Assessment Prompts:
- Can you explain the purpose of a Resource Group versus a Subscription?
- What is the key difference between Microsoft's and the customer's responsibility for an IaaS Virtual Machine?
- When would you choose to use the Azure CLI over the Azure Portal, and why?
- How do Regions and Availability Zones work together to provide resilience?
Reflection Question: How does actively reflecting on these foundational concepts and self-assessing your understanding prepare you to integrate them into more complex administrative tasks and troubleshooting scenarios in the upcoming phases?
