During the holidays, kids get bored: the little ones, the bigger ones, and even the inner children in adults. And my inner child started yawning from boredom too. My MBA 4.0 students graduated with straight A’s. DevOps classes at WSB Merito – two groups completed their education, and the third one finally has a break. I defended my postgraduate thesis in Cyber Science with top marks.
Holidays. And holidays are a great time to finally do what I’ve been dreaming of for a long time – mentoring in learning Azure cloud from scratch. But this time, collectively, as part of the NTHW community. Something I often do with my students during classes.
🍾 Goal: to gain enough knowledge to pass the AZ-900 exam.
🏺 Scope: topics from AZ-900, plus Copilot and other AI services (from the AI-900 training). Of course, the three musketeers of security will be there too – Defender, Sentinel, and Intune – otherwise, they’d be offended (SC-900 exam).
📅 When: the entire month of August, from August 1 to August 31, 2025.
💾 Format: a few online meetings during the month, the rest will be daily practical tasks.
🫶🏻 Support: of course, there will be a dedicated channel on the Not The Hidden Wiki Discord → Discord link
📜 Will I get a certificate of participation at the end? Of course.
📚 How much material and how many tasks? A LOT 🙂
🤯 What will you need to learn? A laptop with browser access, a free Azure account (you’ll get instructions on July 31, 2025), and the motivation to learn.
👩💻 Who will lead it? Obviously, ME 🙂 I don’t (probably don’t) have “Top speaker at the Żwirek and Muchomorek conference” in my bio, I’m not a visionary or a magician – maybe a witch at most. I haven’t been on the 40 under 40 list, nor the 50 under 50, but I am on one very important list from Not The Hidden Wiki – the list of DELIVERED promises. Together with other mentors, I delivered #CyberAdvent, the first season of #NotTheHiddenKnowledge, season 2 of #HackujDobroczynnie, and I’ll deliver the August challenge too.
Price: You won’t pay 497 PLN to participate in this challenge, you won’t pay 89 PLN – because we share knowledge for FREE.
📌 Every morning, starting July 31, 2025, a link to exercises and tutorials will appear in the table on the polish version of this page.
We’ll follow familiar patterns. On Tuesdays, online workshops at 6:00 PM; Fridays are for online Q&A sessions, also at 6:00 PM for clearing doubts, discussions, etc. There will be one and the same link for both Tuesday and Friday meetings. We’ll meet on Google Meet.

Because I like bees, a bee will accompany us in our learning. The result of my cooperation with Copilot. No name yet, but something will come up 🙂
