This is Day 2 of my 90-day cloud engineering challenge. Day 1 was about installing tools and getting familiar with the Azure CLI. Day 2 was different — instead of just running commands to learn syntax, I gave myself a real-world scenario and worked through it the way an actual DevOps engineer would on the job.
The Scenario
To push myself past "tutorial mode," I simulated a message from a team lead:
"Taiwo, we need a new environment for the payments project. Create a resource group for dev, one for staging. Tag them properly. Create a storage account in dev. List everything and send me a clean output. Then document it."
No step-by-step instructions. No exact commands handed to me — just a goal. That's closer to how real work actually shows up: as an outcome someone needs, not a tutorial to follow. My job was to translate that into the right CLI commands, tag things properly, and produce a clean, professional result.
