I started the 100 Days of Cloud challenge in August 2021 as a way to expand my Cloud Skillset across Multi-Cloud environments. I have multiple Microsoft Certifications, and have already achieved the following:
- AZ-305: Azure Solutions Architect

- AZ-140: Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty
- AZ-204: Azure Developer Associate (achieved March 2022)

At the end of this challenge, I’d like to:
- Have the knowledge to create services across multiple cloud providers
- Be comfortable identifying and troubleshooting services across multiple providers
- Be comfortable identifying the best cloud service offering for a particular problem
- Understand Serverless Functions and their usage
- Become more comfortable in a programming language
- Gain knowledge of Ansible and Terraform
