Learning path for online self-study for Azure Solution Architect Expert Certification...?
Deleted
From my experience the learning path helps but is not sufficient to pass the exams.
My advice is to take the exam objectives from the side and find each on docs.microsoft.com.
You can also google for it and i am sure multiple sources provides already a compiled list of links where for most of them docs.microsoft.com is the main source.
Good luck!
Regarding a collection of links there is already one resource that did that. have a look at this:

https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2020/04/az-304-study-guide-microsoft-azure-architect-design/
You may also want to look at this to track your learning:
https://build5nines.com/free-oss-exam-self-assessment-tool/
You can find all of the assessment sheets also on Github https://github.com/Build5Nines/exam-assessments/tree/master/Assessments
I hope that helps

All the resources recommended are great.
Don't forget to take a look at the Azure well-architected framework also https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/azure-well-architected-framework/.
Keep in mind our certifications focus on assessing how you apply what you know to solve real business challenges. All these resources can help you reinforce your knowledge, but you’ll still need real-life experience with the role and with the platform.
Any to reinforce what everyone has said so far, practical hand-on experience is very necessary for the Solution Architect exams, so get yourself an Azure subscription and work through using each of the topics in the exams.
Thanks, Julian. I'll do that. I agree that doing some hands-on "tinkering" helps turn "abstract" concepts into tangible understanding.
I'm actually pretty excited about this as I have a lot of software engineering experience and solution architecture and enterprise architecture experience. So I think the combination of my background, the learning material and the hands-on tinkering will be a good multi-disciplinary approach.
