Microsoft 365 Certified Fundamentals MS-900 Exam Guide

Chapter 1: Introduction to Cloud Computing

Microsoft 365 Certified Fundamentals: Exam MS-900 Guide, Second Edition is for individuals looking to prove their foundational knowledge of the considerations and benefits of cloud services and cloud models. This exam, revised in April 2021, primarily goes into the details of Microsoft 365 as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, its implementation options, and its benefits. It also covers some fundamentals of cloud services.

To cover all the topics of the MS-900 exam, this book will start by discussing cloud computing concepts. It is critical to understand that cloud computing is not only prevalent in everyday use but also has potential impacts at the enterprise level. The shift to cloud computing changes how technology is acquired, deployed, secured, and managed.

This foundation will also set you up for success in further certifications, should you choose to take more related technology exams. After going through this book, you will be well positioned to not only pass this exam but also, more importantly, demonstrate basic knowledge of the Microsoft 365 platform.

First, we will start with cloud computing by looking at how cloud computing is already part of your daily personal use. Then, we will expand to enterprise scenarios.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is cloud computing?
  • Benefits of cloud computing

Read the whole book and then focused on the new exam objects for 2022. The book gave tons of information and great practice tests, much better than MS Learn.

This book assumes you don't necessarily know all about cloud technology, so it begins with an explanation of cloud computing, including models and services. After that, the book gets specific, with its introduction of the core of Microsoft 365, how to deploy them and make them play nicely together. It covers all the areas of the test: deployment, analytics, security and compliance, pricing and support packages, and finishes up with a practice exam. Each chapter has assessments with answers indexed at the end of the book. The author works for Microsoft and clearly knows what he's doing.

I have a really good understanding of the material covered in exam MS-900 but I needed to be sure I was prepared and buffed up on the areas that I didn't know as well. This book is written in a manner that allowed me to skim sections I knew well and dive deeper into sections I didn't know as well. The summary questions gave me an opportunity to quickly check my understanding so I could focus my time better.This book is absolutely written for both a person who doesn't have the background and needs to learn it all or the person who knows most of the material and just needs to get polished up prior to the exam. It can easily be read cover to cover or used to spot check material. The authors did a fantastic job of organizing the material into groupings that easily allowed me to hit the 4-5 sections I need to learn better.This is a must get book for those preparing to take the MS-900 exam!

Overall well written. Easy to read. I used this and the Microsoft text for the MS-900, and would recommend using both, as some things are emphasized more in one book than the other (not something unusual, so I usually use two or three texts to study.)

This book is up to date and seems to cover the material I ask seeing in the practice tests far better than anything else I’ve looked at.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
