We learned how to view alerts and understand basic analytics.  I highly recommend the free courses provided for Microsoft Associate Learners. Note: Microsoft Entra is now the update title for  Azure Active Directory (Azure AD ).  Stay tuned for more information on how this powerful cloud architecture works  as we'll continue getting hands on with in through February.

  I've been enjoying Neil Anderson's Cisco Packet Tracer labs a bunch. Learning to manually make changes to devices via Cisco IOS has been a fun and challenging experience. Highly recommend his courses!
