This is a very detailed course covering maximum Azure DevOps exam prep. Allan has explained how to create resources from the administrative part and then how we can implement them through CI/CD. I have just cleared the Azure DevOps 400, and this course was very helpful. Exam tip: do read all the official documentation from Microsoft Learn and do things practically so it helps you learn the concepts more precisely. Thank you!

The intro with brief history on project model gives some sense as how it evolved into a new model while we transform to the DevOps culture., a good beginning.

I have successfully passed AZ-204 and Alan’s course is one of the major factor but content of this course AZ-400 are little outdated and most importantly every video starts with 7 seconds irritating sound. Please remove the 7 seconds from the start of every video.

This course covers a lot and the author does a good job with example projects and going over important details. This is the second course by this author I took and will definitely take more.
By Björn Behrens on 3/18/2026
It is great & very detailed, but sometimes the big picture seems to be missing. For example, it might be better, to desribe hiw you actually build a *real* setup of a develop, stage and production environment (incl. common workflows, like dev -> stage -> production) and how to configure that securely from the start (for example database passwords as part of an Azure DevOps pipeline? Really?).

This course is really good. The concepts are explained clearly and are easy to understand. The hands-on labs are also very good and help reinforce the learning.
