So what is it?

Azure Cert Prep is a static website plus repository of hands-on challenges for Microsoft Azure certification exams. The pitch in the README is that learners should build the resources rather than only read about them, so every skill in the official study guide is paired with steps to create, configure, and troubleshoot a real Azure resource. The site lives at azurecertprep.github.io. Five exams are covered with full coverage of their official domains: AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals with 24 challenges, AZ-104 Azure Administrator with 28, AZ-305 Solutions Architect Expert with 50, AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert with 51, and SC-500 Cloud and AI Security Engineer with 52. Each exam page maps challenges to weighted domains so a learner can see where their time is going. Each challenge follows the same shape. It states the exam skills involved, frames a scenario for a fictional company called Contoso Ltd, and gives hands-on tasks with Azure CLI, PowerShell, and Portal instructions in side-by-side tabs. Success criteria can be ticked off as the learner finishes each step. Hints are hidden behind an expandable section. A break-and-fix mode introduces deliberate misconfigurations for troubleshooting practice. A short knowledge-check quiz finishes each challenge, and a cleanup script removes the created resources so costs do not run up. To remove setup friction, the repository includes a GitHub Codespaces configuration. One click opens a browser environment with the Azure CLI plus Bicep support, Azure PowerShell, AzCopy, and the jq and yq processors already installed. A free GitHub account gives 60 hours of Codespaces per month, which the README claims is enough to finish all challenges. A real Azure subscription is required, the README links to the free $200-credit account and the $100-credit student account. Basic IT background is assumed, but no prior Azure experience is needed. Other features listed include interactive decision-matrix tables, a self-assessment checklist, progress tracking via the browser's localStorage, deeper validation labs with real-world troubleshooting, bilingual English plus Brazilian Portuguese content, and an instructor or coach guide with full solutions. The site is built and deployed to GitHub Pages from this repository.
