I was recently recommended Forrest Brazeal’s Cloud Resume Challenge after a discussion with a friend about how to get some hands on experience in the Microsoft Azure cloud environment. For those of you unfamiliar with the challenge Forrest describes it as a “hands-on project designed to help you bridge the gap from cloud certification to cloud job. It incorporates many of the skills that real cloud and DevOps engineers use in their daily work.”
-The challenge essentially is to build and host a resume website with a visitor counter in the cloud and gain your first cloud platform certification. That sounds simple on the surface but the design of the challenge requires you to use multiple Azure services (CDN, Function App, Azure Cosmos DB etc..), configure DNS for your custom domain, write some python code and implement CI/CD using GitHub. The following diagram shows how it all works together.
