Learning o365 is not rocket science and is not going to take years. If it's going to open some doors and get you into IT (don't know what you're doing right now) - you should totally spend the time. Then you can move on with more advanced knowledge, experience and certs (including Azure path, if that's what you want to become good at).

I'd be pretty okay hiring someone with only a cert in O365, it's not touching infrastructure. But hiring someone with only a cert in Azure would be pretty scary.

And that's exactly what I said earlier, it's much easier to get a junior level position that utilizes O365

Right, some professions are easier to get in as junior level, simply because, I would imagine Jr level Helpdesk positions are more abundant, therefore less competitive. But I still don't know if that's the route he wants to go by focusing on O365. You sure can take it up to and likely past $200k, ive seen it. Just as you can take the other path in excess of $200k. But then we're back again to him just picking a path.

A helpdesk making more than $200k?... i'm sure you can count those instances on your fingers. The range is usually MUCH lower.
He needs to understand that he's not going to make anywhere near that for quite some time though. While making as much money as possible sounds great, it can very likely guide someone into making decisions that he/she is going to regret. I'd not want to do something i hate doing, even if i'm paid really well. Helpdesk/IT support in general is not something that anyone can or should do and usually is just a way to get into IT/a specific company.

Cause then, this could bring more people into ML and give them a place to look for themselves and figure out which would be better for them .

cause it's all in one place. and could give someone else a better understanding.

Yup, it's a good discussion to have, even if the result is "this isn't the right question to ask." That's great, so what IS the right question to ask?

My thoughts are: "what's more important to have a certification in to get a better job - O365 or Azure?"

You need to define what a "better job" for YOU is first.

@pmoncho Yup, it's in the attic. Having some skylights helps a lot.

Right after setting it all up

Your resume should be tailored to that specific job. Can't tell much without seeing the ad and job description. Who knows what the position you're going to apply for is and if it's a good match for the skills and experience you list.
You should begin with fixing typos first though..

A CDN needs an origin to pull the data from and THEN cache it. Azure blob storage is one of many options you can go with. Comes with pretty much unlimited space (in petabytes).

Security is such a broad topic, there is no such thing as THE BEST cert. You have to be way more specific

For live stats - hatop -s /run/haproxy/admin.sock -i 1
For historical data - prometheus and grafana

VMware tools start after the OS is up. Sounds like your issue has nothing to do with your hypervisor and has everything to do with your OS.
