Why Azure Administrator (AZ-104)?
The AZ-104 certification is the most valuable mid-level credential in the Azure ecosystem. It validates that you can configure, manage, monitor, and secure Azure environments end-to-end—the exact daily skills hiring managers are actively looking for.
While AZ-900 proves you understand cloud concepts, AZ-104 proves you can operate Azure in production. You will learn by deploying ARM and Bicep templates, configuring Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), managing VNets, and scaling containers and virtual machines.
Prerequisite: Familiarity with operating systems, virtualization, networking, and foundational cloud concepts (AZ-900) is highly recommended.
