Looking for official role-based AI learning paths and Microsoft AI ecosystem diagram
Hi,
For Q1 (Role-based learning paths), the most current official starting points I've found are:
• Microsoft Learn's AI Engineer path: covers Azure AI Services, Azure AI Foundry, and Copilot extensibility
• The Fabric Analytics Engineer path: good entry point for Data Engineers moving into Fabric
• GitHub Copilot has its own dedicated learning path on MS Learn now, under "GitHub Foundations" and beyond
• For Azure AI Foundry specifically, the AI-103 learning path touch it, though its relatively new as of April 2026
For a role-mapped overview, the Microsoft AI Skills Navigator (aka the AI Skills Fest resources) is worth bookmarking. It organizes content by role and skill level and has been updated more recently than the older career path pages.
For Q2 (Ecosystem diagram), I haven't found a single official Microsoft diagram that maps everything cleanly. The closest I've come across is the Azure AI Services overview diagram in the Azure documentation, and the Fabric platform architecture page.
If anyone has found a more consolidated official map, I'd love to know too, it would be genuinely useful for the training programs I run.
Hope this helps point in the right direction!
