CAMPUX · Azure Zero to Hero

100 Days of Azure.
Zero to hero.

Learn the cloud, build real project evidence, and practise explaining your decisions. This free roadmap guides you through 42 classes, four milestone builds, three capstones, and a final job-search class. Plan on about ninety minutes a day; pause or stretch the calendar whenever you need.

Start Day 1 → See all 100 daily tasks I have experience → find my start

The lessons are free. Running Azure resources can incur charges: check each lab’s cost notes, set a budget alert, and remove practice resources when you finish.

Five phases100 daily sessions

From first concept to portfolio proof.

The 100-day learning route Five phases move from cloud foundations through core infrastructure, DevOps, operations and security, then capstones and job preparation. IDAY 01 IIDAY 21 IIIDAY 37 IVDAY 57 VDAY 91
  1. 01–20Foundations + governed subscription
  2. 21–36Core infrastructure + private application
  3. 37–56Git, IaC + automated delivery
  4. 57–90Operate, secure, observe + AI
  5. 91–100Three capstones, then job preparation
Every phase has a practical outcome. The last eight days build your portfolio; the final two help you present it.
01 · The rhythm

One session a day

Read a class and do its drills, or sit down for a build. Roughly 90 minutes, ten hours a week. Miss a day? Pick up where you left off — the order matters more than a perfect streak.

02 · The proof

Four builds, three capstones

Each phase ends in a milestone build, and the last stretch is three capstones. You finish with real projects and the words to defend them — the thing "no experience" is really asking for.

03 · Your starting point

New or experienced

Start at Day 1 if cloud is new to you. If you already work in cloud, answer a short self-check and get a suggested day to begin.

What the Azure Zero to Hero roadmap covers

Not a playlist of logos — a sequenced path through everything a junior Azure cloud engineer is expected to have touched, each mapped to a class and a hands-on build:

Cloud fundamentals · AZ-900Identity, RBAC & governanceVirtual networks & connectivity Compute, storage & databasesGit & branching strategiesInfrastructure as Code — Bicep Infrastructure as Code — TerraformCI/CD — GitHub Actions & OIDCReviewed delivery workflows Containers & AKSMonitoring, KQL & alertingSecurity & DevSecOps Cost management & FinOpsAI infrastructure on Azure3 capstone projects

Prefer to learn by doing? The hands-on CAMPUX labs give you do-it-yourself exercises. Use the cost and cleanup notes before you run cloud resources in your own subscription.

Already have cloud experience? Find a sensible starting day.

Rate each area honestly. We’ll suggest the earliest stretch to review, based on your answers—not score you or promise a job. If you are unsure, choose “I need more practice.” Earlier classes remain available as refreshers.

This is a self-check, not a formal placement exam.

The full route · 100 daily tasks

One clear session at a time.

Each class gets a learning day and a practice day. Builds and capstones are broken into scope, implementation, and evidence tasks. Check off a day when its work is done.

The hundred days are a planning frame, not a promise. Some classes are tracks of several parts (Compute has six, Kubernetes seven, API Management eight), and those days list the parts inside them. If a part's first result is not done, take another day before you tick it. Finishing late with every checkpoint met beats finishing on day 100 with half of them skipped.

You finish with receipts, not a certificate alone.

Complete the plan and you have three capstones, four milestone builds, and a completion certificate you can verify — plus the interview vocabulary to walk through all of it. Then the real work: the Start-here path for your first two weeks of job-hunting, and the roles this maps to.

Questions people also ask

Is there a free Azure Zero to Hero course?

Yes — this is one. The 100 Days of Azure plan is a free Azure Zero to Hero course: all 42 classes, the hands-on labs, the four milestone builds and the three capstones are free, with no card and no paywall. It sequences them day by day from what the cloud is to a portfolio you can defend. You only ever pay for an exam if and when you choose to sit one.

Can I download the 100 Days of Azure roadmap as a PDF?

Yes. Use the Save as PDF button on the roadmap and your browser prints the whole 100-day plan to a clean PDF you can keep or pin up — no email wall. The living version on the site is better for actually doing it, because it saves your progress as you tick off each day, which a static PDF cannot.

Does the plan cover Terraform, Bicep, and CI/CD?

Yes. The DevOps stretch takes you from Git through infrastructure as code with Bicep and Terraform, then CI/CD with GitHub Actions. It finishes with a GitOps milestone build. Containers and AKS, monitoring with KQL, security and cost management each get their own days, and the last classes introduce AI infrastructure.

Does this prepare me for AZ-104 and AZ-305?

The roadmap covers many Azure topics that also appear in certification objectives, but it is not a substitute for checking the current exam guides or a complete exam-preparation course. Use Microsoft’s exam objectives to find any areas you still need to study.

Can you learn Azure in 100 days?

A consistent 100-day plan can build a strong Azure foundation and a portfolio of work. This roadmap includes 42 classes, four milestone builds, three capstones, and interview practice, but it cannot guarantee job readiness or an offer. Use project feedback and the skills you still need to explain to choose what to study next.

How many hours a day is the 100 Days of Azure challenge?

About 90 minutes a day, or roughly ten hours a week. Each day is one class read plus its drills, or a hands-on build session. You can go faster if you have more time, or stretch the 100 days over a longer calendar if life is busy — the order matters more than the pace. Missing a day is fine; just pick up where you left off.

Is the 100 Days of Cloud challenge worth it?

The value depends on the work you complete and the feedback you get. The roadmap gives you milestone builds and three capstones to practise design, implementation, documentation, and explaining trade-offs. Treat the checklist as a guide, then use review and practice to identify what to improve.

Do I need coding or a computer science degree to start?

No. The plan starts from what the cloud is and assumes no prior experience or degree. You will pick up the little bit of scripting and Git you need along the way, in the classes that cover them. Curiosity and showing up most days matter far more than a background in computer science — plenty of people make this switch from non-technical jobs.
