MS-900 covers cloud fundamentals and the SaaS model with a focus on Microsoft 365 offerings. It reviews productivity and collaboration services, security and compliance handling, and subscriptions, licensing, billing, and support.
MS-900 is designed to provide foundational understanding of adopting cloud services using the Software as a Service model, with Microsoft 365 as the primary focus. The course begins by establishing cloud fundamentals, including an overview of cloud computing and Microsoft cloud services. It also introduces Microsoft Azure and clarifies differences between Microsoft 365 and Office 365.After the initial cloud framing, the course shifts into a structured review of Microsoft 365. This includes comparing Microsoft on-premises services to Microsoft 365 cloud services and examining how Microsoft 365 supports enterprise mobility and collaboration. The intent is to help learners understand what capabilities move to the cloud, what changes operationally, and what benefits and considerations typically accompany that shift.The program then explores Microsoft 365 capability areas. One module focuses on productivity and teamwork solutions, including collaboration tools and file storage and sharing services. Another module covers business management capabilities, including device management concepts through Microsoft Endpoint Manager and insights through analytics and reporting. These sections support the practical question many organizations face: which services and capabilities are relevant to our operating model and user needs.Security, compliance, privacy, and trust are a dedicated focus in the course. The program includes security principles and solution areas, identity and access management, threat protection, cloud security, information protection and governance, and compliance management. It also includes managing risk, discovery, and audit, indicating that compliance is treated as a set of ongoing operational responsibilities, not just a procurement checkbox.The course concludes with the commercial and support layer that organizations must understand to operate Microsoft 365. It reviews Microsoft 365 subscriptions, licenses, billing, and support, and the program includes licensing options, support offerings, service lifecycle, and cloud deployment selection. This combination gives learners a baseline to evaluate Microsoft 365 adoption decisions and communicate clearly across business and IT stakeholders.
MS-900 is useful when you need to align stakeholders on what Microsoft 365 actually is: a set of cloud services with operational, security, and licensing implications. The course is not only about apps. It frames identity, compliance, and support as adoption-critical topics, which is where many migrations run into friction.As you work through the content, pay attention to the comparisons between on-premises services and cloud services. Those comparisons often drive decisions about governance, device management, and the division of responsibility between internal teams and the provider.Finally, treat licensing and support as operational design inputs. Understanding licensing options and support paths influences how you plan rollouts, set expectations, and handle incidents.
