Reading time    8  minutes Hey guys!DP-900 Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals . This is your chance to have material that will make you pass the test without much difficulty and obtain your Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals certification.
This exam is an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of key Microsoft Azure data concepts and related data services. This exam is intended for candidates new to 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 analytics.
The value 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, covering only basic concepts, but the content is very comprehensive, that is, there is a lot to study, many different topics, but the questions they are not difficult.

Below I will make available the link to the official Microsoft learning path.
I will share this excellent material created by Eduardo Popovici  about the DP-900 test which is sensational!
Henrique Souza has a YouTube channel  sensational, where he posts several videos, and, among them, courses on some certification tests. And I'm going to share the playlist he made covering all the content of the DP-900 test.
