About Microsoft Azure Certifications
Microsoft's Azure certification path is organized by role: Fundamentals (AZ-900, AI-900, DP-900, SC-900), Associate (AZ-104 Administrator, AZ-204 Developer, AZ-500 Security), Expert (AZ-305 Solutions Architect, AZ-400 DevOps Engineer), and Specialty tracks. Microsoft retires and updates exams aggressively — always check the current exam code on learn.microsoft.com before scheduling.
Most Microsoft role-based exams run 100–120 minutes with 40–60 questions across multiple choice, drag-and-drop, build-list ordering, hot-area, and case study items. Higher-level exams (AZ-305, AZ-400) lean heavily on case studies that test integrated reasoning rather than recall. The passing score is 700/1000, but the scoring model is not a straight percentage — questions are weighted by domain.
AZ-900 (Microsoft Azure Fundamentals) is the recommended starting point for anyone new to Azure. AZ-104 is the most-requested Azure credential in the job market, and pairs well with AZ-305 for cloud architect roles or AZ-400 for DevOps engineers.
