You could add a knowledge of azure storage to your CV.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/storage/
We use a standard azure sql database for generic relational data but we now store files in blob storage, log and audit data in table storage and we make a lot of use of queues. We then have PowerBI pointing at all of the above for reporting.
It's useful to know when and when not to use traditional sql storage and also how to query these new storage types.
Not sure of any of these courses would help:
https://openedx.microsoft.com/
I was initially sceptical of the benefit of all of these but now find it incredibly flexible and useful - the only problem is trying to keep up with all of the new developments on the platform.
Hope this helps.Comment

I can't see anyway of associating my azure account with my partner account even though they share the same email address. In fact because they share the same email address it may even stop you doing this, I watched a 5 min vid from MS on how to associate a new email with an organisation followed the steps and yep its already associated. But Azure is telling me it cant apply the offer because my login is not a ms partner.
FFS microsoft pages just break all over the place.
UPDATE2. Just typed everything out on the MS Forum for Azure, then told MS believes my post was spam and then redirects me to a spam forum. Lost the post!
BTW with the Action Pack you have 3 MSDN Pro subs each eligible for for another £65/month Azure credits or so, but can't be pooled and can't be used for "production" stuff legally.Comment

Waiting for a reply but the priority has been downgraded from two hour support to 24 hour support. If it all works will be a fantastic deal. I also have a office 365 using the same email that I pay for so hopefully can replace that also.Comment

Originally posted by woohoo View PostThanks for the info. I've raised a ticket on Azure, followed some other steps and I now have two accounts on Azure with the same email address. Unfortunately, the wrong one has azure credit - £75 a month!

Office 365 bit is easy, just go to the admin page on the office365 and change the assigned license from your current to one of the E3 licenses from the MPN. you can find the license key for the 5 E3 licenses in https://partners.microsoft.com > Orders&Benefits > view License keys > Microsoft Online services. don't forget to cancel your old sub.Comment

I did manage to get azure support to sort it after complaining on twitter about lack of support.Comment
