Five phases. Each one ends in something you built.

In this trade the build is the examination. A phase is not complete until the artifact exists in a repository with your name on it. Every phase closes the same way: a one-page recap that draws the classes together, then a build that proves them.

Phase OneFoundations
Nine classes · AZ-900

Resource hierarchy, identity, RBAC, policy — the governance instincts that separate an engineer from someone clicking through a portal.

Build I
A governed subscription: management group, environment separation, role assignments, and two policies — expressed as code, not clicks.

Phase TwoCore Infrastructure
Seven classes · AZ-104

Networks, compute, storage, private endpoints, DNS — the depth most self-taught engineers are missing.

Build II
A two-tier application with storage the public internet cannot reach, fronted by an application gateway, resolving through private DNS.

Phase ThreeThe DevOps Core
Nine classes · AZ-400 (partial)

Bicep and Terraform, GitHub Actions federated to Azure without a single stored credential. This phase is the difference between two salary bands.

Build III
A complete GitOps loop: a pull request that plans, a merge that deploys, a gate that waits for a human, and no secret anywhere in the repository.

Phase FourOperate, Secure, and the AI Question
Sixteen classes

Containers, monitoring, KQL, DevSecOps, FinOps — and three classes on AI as infrastructure, not theory.

Build IV
Observability and cost guardrails across everything you have built to this point. Diagnostic settings, a KQL alert that matters, and a budget that shouts before the invoice does.

Phase FiveProof & Payoff
Capstones + Class 42

Build the receipts, then go get hired: three portfolio capstones you can hand an interviewer, and the class on turning them into an offer.
