Speak guys!
In this article I would like to share with you a free study material for the certification exam DP-900 Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals. This is your chance to have a material that will make you pass the exam without too many difficulties and obtain your Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals certification.

This exam is an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of core data concepts and related Microsoft Azure data services. This exam is intended for candidates starting out in the cloud data environment.

Candidates should be familiar with relational and non-relational data concepts and with different types of data workloads such as transactional or analytical.

The cost of this test is 60 dollars for Brazil, you will have 90 minutes to finish the test and it has 40 to 60 questions. The level of the questions is basic, so the questions are very superficial, without requiring much knowledge or experience, charging only basic concepts, but the content is very comprehensive, that is, there is a lot to study, many different topics, but the questions are not difficult.
