Verbal Flashcards

Cloud concepts, drilled without a screen.

Service categories, pricing models, and governance for AZ-900.

The terminology is the exam, and terminology drills badly from a slide deck.

What Vera actually is

A phone call with someone who is not there. You say the thing out loud, they answer the way a real person would, and you get to do it again — as many times as it takes, with nobody listening.

1She calls youA real phone call, about ten seconds after you tap. Lock screen, headphones, car — wherever you take calls.
2She plays the other personNot a coach reading tips. Azure Fundamentals Review, with someone on the other end who answers back.
3She pushes when you are vagueFollow-up questions, interruptions when you ramble, and a straight read at the end on what landed.

“What if I am bad at it?”Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.
“What if I do not know what to say?”She asks first and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.
“What if it is awkward?”It is, for about twenty seconds. Then it is a conversation, and nobody heard the twenty seconds.

Not practising doesn’t save you anything.

The ticket, the evening, the weeks of applying — all of it is spent before anyone says a word. The practice is the only cheap part, and the only part that changes how the rest goes.

What she'll actually ask

She asks these the way a real person would, then follows up on whatever you say.

  1. What category does that service belong to?
  2. What is the difference between these two pricing models?
  3. Which governance tool applies here?
  4. Is that IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, and why?
  5. Place this service you have not seen into a category.
More about this one

AZ-900 is mostly a vocabulary and categorization exam — knowing which service does what, which pricing model applies, and what the governance tools are for. That is well suited to verbal drilling and poorly suited to rereading slides, where everything looks familiar. Vera quizzes you on service categories and asks you to place unfamiliar service names into the right category.

What she listens for

Category placementPlacing an unfamiliar service correctly is the real test.
Model distinctionsIaaS, PaaS, and SaaS boundaries blur under pressure.
Governance recallThe compliance and governance portion is routinely underprepared.

“Everything looked familiar in the slides and I could not produce any of it. Ten minutes on the phone proved that.”

Common questions

Is AZ-900 hard?

Broad rather than deep. The difficulty is volume of terminology, which is what verbal drilling handles well.

Does it cover AZ-104 too?

Conceptually. Administrator-level content needs hands-on portal work alongside.

Is it current?

Azure changes frequently — verify service names and specifics against Microsoft Learn.

What if I am bad at it?

Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.

What if I do not know what to say?

She asks the first question and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.

What if it is awkward?

It is, for about twenty seconds. Then it is a conversation, and nobody heard the twenty seconds.
