Built an open-source app with 154 self-grading Azure labs for AZ-104 prep

I took AZ-104 last week and walked out with 689. Eleven points off the pass line. Brutal.

Looking back at what I missed, it wasn't the conceptual stuff. I had done the TutorialsDojo, but the real exam is on a different level with longer questions, messier context. I have scheduled another one 4 weeks later, hope I could be fully prepared this time.

Before the exam I'd started writing a little app with Claude for myself. Pick a scenario, do it in the portal, click a button, have it run az CLI checks against my real subscription and tell me whether I actually did it right. Never finished. After the fail I spent the week finishing it. Sharing it in case it may help anyone else.

Note: I only finished around 80 labs, will finish the rest of them in a month. Please let me know if there's any issue in any lab. Thank you :)

How should I safely deploy my commit when there are 51 old undeployed commits before it?

Yesterday, I was trying to add a feature to my company’s app. I am only an intern, so I wanted to be extra careful. The app is deployed to Azure App Service through Azure DevOps.

After I finished the feature and tried to push my changes, I noticed that the last successful deployment in the pipeline was around nine years ago. I also found a commit that has been stuck in the pipeline queue for almost nine years.

Between the last deployed commit and my new feature commit, there are 51 undeployed commits. None of these commits were made by me, and all of them are quite old, at least five years old. Because of that, I do not want those commits to go into the pipeline, since I am not sure what might happen if they are deployed.

However, I still want my own commit to be deployed. What operation would you recommend in this situation?

My idea is to copy the current master branch to a new branch, reset the 51 old undeployed commits, then apply my own commit and run that branch through the pipeline. Would this work safely?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently 10 days away from taking the AZ-104 exam, and honestly… I’m starting to panic.

Over the past few days, I’ve completed 4 practice exams from Tutorials Dojo, and my scores have all been in the range of 60%~70%. I haven’t been able to break past that, no matter how hard I try.

Now I’m seriously questioning myself — am I completely unprepared?

At this point, I’m not sure what the best move is:

Should I just keep grinding and hope I can improve enough in the next 10 days?
Or is it more realistic to postpone the exam and give myself more time?

I feel pretty overwhelmed right now and could really use some advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

Any tips, study strategies, or honest opinions would mean a lot.
Thanks in advance 🙏
