Who this is for
Some prior Azure exposure helps; this path is about the governance layer wrapped around infrastructure, not the infrastructure itself.
How this path works
Each cluster below links to its real lesson page. Go in order the first time through — later clusters assume the ones before them. Once you've done a full pass, use it as reference.

Certification this path maps to
Being honest: no single Microsoft certification targets this exact role. AZ-305 (Solutions Architect Expert) plus real experience with Microsoft Purview and Azure Policy is the practical marker most employers look for.
Where this leads
Solutions Architect is the broader design-focused path this often feeds into. Cloud Security Architect is the security-specific equivalent.
