Nice one Microsoft!
As you may have noticed from previous posts, I like Azure but it's nowhere near as good as it could be. I was suprised when I received an email the other day stating that I hadn't claimed my "MCSA" badge on some social network (Acclaim?) which was confusing.
The requirements for MCSA when I took the 70-534 and 70-533 exams to gain the Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate was to pass all three of the 70-{532-534} series of exams.
It looks like the requirements were changed in September 2016 and have applied retroactively, so now I can say that I'm an MCSA: Cloud Platform!
