So, my employer suggested that it would be good for me, professionally, to get my certifications up to speed, and told me to pick a few that I found the most relevant at their expense. As I mainly deal with networks and Linux servers, and have done so for decades at this point, this was easy enough: renewing my CCNA that I took some 20 years ago, as well as getting my CCNP. The latter of which is closely related to what I already do.
However, my employer decided that I must pursue at least one Microsoft certification, and I honestly don’t know where to start, as the only microsoft software I use is Outlook.
I’ve been thinking of my status as the walking embodiment of the “old man yells at cloud”-meme, and thinking it’s probably time to turn into “old man embraces cloud”. I know that a lot of our infrastructure runs in azure (something with which I have no experience. I did use some Oracle cloud VMs at one point, that’s it.), and I know there was a huge ordeal last year that involved doing a lot of dataprocessing on temporary azure architecture, and I figure I should probably get in on that at some point.
Is perhaps something Azure related my best bet?

Even though this comment is deleted, you just know it was an insufferable Linux user bleating about something irrelevant 😂
Nah, I just spoke about how OP could try and look for a cert for powershell with a focus on 365 admin, then I realized that that the other suggestions probably was better and mine seemed put of place and I went to delete it, acxidentally hit the downvote arrow and didn’t fix it before deleting my comment
