    This book is not downloadable using an MSDN subscription. It would have to be purchased via one of the online retailers linked above, however, this title is currently out of print. A new edition will be available later this year.

      Hi Kim,Is there a rough date for the new book to be launched? Would this also mean that the exam content is due to be more focused on the ARM side of Azure, as opposed to the Classic? I am planning to take the 70-534 exam in the next few months.

        Hi Gary,We're roughly expecting an updated edition this fall - possibly in October. Unfortunately, we can't speak to the content of the exam (ARM side vs Classic). However, you can find helpful details on exam coverage here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/exam-70-534.aspx.
