I got the results for D485 about a day after I submitted and passed it first try! A lot of folks seems to hate this class and I will say that the PA was kind of tedious but overall it was not that bad especially since I was unfamiliar with Azure Cloud and was able to learn as I go.
I forgot where I saw it but if you are about to take D485 - Cloud Security, I would say try to find the PA template as it gives you tips/notes on what they expect and it helped a lot with writing the PA. I knew what to look for, a hint on where it would be, and screenshots of what needs to be done. The books that they had you read was pretty good, I'm going to pick up a hard copy. The book is called: Cloud security handbook: Find out how to effectively secure cloud environments using AWS, Azure, and GCP which you can grab on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Security-Handbook-effectively-environments/dp/180056919X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DT7UX66TA05K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.q8wRh-XPeMlnkSYYQ7JEwA.NuGZnT9gFIV07nSi0B67M_igq_5nuvMLD0Uh80hxyho&dib_tag=se&keywords=Cloud+security+handbook%3A+Find+out+how+to+effectively+secure+cloud+environments+using+AWS%2C+Azure%2C+and+GCP&qid=1741757547&sprefix=cloud+security+handbook+find+out+how+to+effectively+secure+cloud+environments+using+aws%2C+azure%2C+and+gcp%2Caps%2C386&sr=8-1

I was able to finish this in one sitting so what I would suggest is to find the PA template and read through it as well as the requirements/scenario before starting the lab.
You have 4 hours to finish the lab but I'm not sure if progress resets so I would suggest to try and finish it all in one sitting with no interruptions.
After reading the PA Requirements/Template start the lab and go in order with the PA as they all relate to each other. I would say do the ones that requires screenshots first with the first set requires you to implement what you wrote about in the first part of the PA.
Here are something that I saw from reddit that helped and is useful:

I'm still job searching but I'm recovered from EUIC so now I'm back to being a professor locally with good form. I'm looking to get back into playing some games competitively. I'm thinking of learning MTG and getting back into Starcraft.
I done an interview for an IT Help Desk Position. It's not what I wanted to get into but it will get me a chance to get back into some hands-on work.
Anyways, I started the next class but it looks like I can drop it before the 21st with no repurcussion so if I don't finish it then, we are good. I'm just trying to get a head start for my next term.

Thanks for reading.
