As an Enterprise Architect, i believe you would need to have a great understanding of the nature of your business.. Around asset depreciation (in effect does it make sense for you to close down your datacenter?), how outsourcing contracts affect your P&L etc. Also around what the outlook of the business is - is your business looking at net new business models or possible adjacent markets? If no, then a cloud migration/transformation probably doesn't make alot of sense (also, if the answer to that question is no - do you think your organisation will survive in the next 5 years?).
Reason being is a cloud migration/transformation will never be cheaper than running things on-prem/outsourced, not unless your workload was purpose-built for the cloud - from an architectural PoV, this is what the industry calls "cloud-native".
Now, if you're still with me - then that means that you have good reasons for moving to the cloud. I would advise to start small - never, ever do a big-bang. Approach this like you would a scientific experiment. Form a hypothesis, have a controlled group and variable group, then evaluate, learn, and adopt. If you're wrong, pivot, then try something else. If you're right, build on top of that then scale.
You will probably realise that doing things this way sound alot like Agile - and they are similar. You might also feel that existing tooling and your organisational structure doesn't allow for that kind of work - as you will optimize for speed and getting quick feedback from your stakeholders (or customers). This is the fundamental problem of cloud adoption within enterprises - enabling a large organisation to work in this way, while making sure that you're not breaking any laws or regulation. Organisations who fail at this simply move their costs to the public cloud provider, then complain that it's too expensive without achieving real value, then decide to move back on prem (costing millions again).
This will require : a) Organisational change - grouping people not by function, but by the value they deliver towards a company goal or outcome and b) Cultural change - a culture that embraces change, and the failure that comes with it. And not resting on your laurels once you achieve success; and lastly, c) Architectural changes - towards decoupling, independence, and resilience.
There's alot of content out there (including the ones you mentioned) that will help out for C - Architectural changes, but not much for the first two.. It is, arguably the easiest part of the three, unfortunately.
Oh, and one more thing - there's this thing called DevOps as well - not the tools surrounding it, but rather the discipline and culture that comes along with it. I'd recommend you to read https://www.amazon.com.au/Phoenix-Project-DevOps-Helping-Business/dp/0988262592 before anything else.

Alongside Microsoft learn I had bought this book (not mine). It helped me out a looot, but I think reading smthn like that would be an overkill for AZ-900. If you're planning on taking AZ-300/301/302 after AZ-900, I'd recommend smthn like this book. And like I said in the post, MS learn alone will cover maybe 70% of the content (what I noticed in my exam).
You can look towards Exam AZ-103 Study & Lab Guide: Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator book available on Amazon @https://www.amazon.com/dp/1070810681. The book covers Exam Topic lessons & Lab Exercises. Students will create a Hybrid Topology as they progress through Chapter labs. There are 190 lab exercises.

I found a book that deals MUCH more with the exam questions than the official Exam Reference for the exam. It's [Microsoft Azure Development Cookbook] (https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Azure-Development-Cookbook-Second-ebook/dp/B00NXWI0PE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473166935&sr=8-1&keywords=Microsoft+Azure+Development+Cookbook#nav-subnav).
not OP, but guessing it's this guy... i have one myself that's the only reason i recognized it.

Edit: eh, it's not...but it's close.
