Summary
In this chapter, we covered the details of the AZ-801 Microsoft certification exam and included strategies to review the overall objectives and plan for success. We learned how the exam functions and flows, as well as learning how to prepare for the exam depending on your choice of exam location. We also worked to set up a Microsoft 365 E5 license and advanced Azure Active Directory Premium licensing for our Azure tenant lab. We then established a local Hyper-V lab on a device of our choice and established Windows Server 2022 virtual machines for use throughout the exercises in this book. Finally, we completed a cursory review of the state of the cloud and how these services help your business thrive.
In the next chapter, we will be learning about security for on-premises and hybrid infrastructures. We will start with securing the Windows Server operating system and will investigate a best practice approach to enhance the security posture of your devices utilizing the available Microsoft tools and controls, consistent with the AZ-801 exam objectives.
