About This Certification
The Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) is one of the most sought-after Azure certifications for IT professionals managing cloud infrastructure. It validates the knowledge and skills required to implement, manage, and monitor an organisation's Azure environment.
Azure Administrators serve as the primary Azure resource managers for their organisations. They collaborate with cloud architects, security engineers, and application developers to plan and implement Azure infrastructure that supports the organisation's cloud strategy.
The AZ-104 represents a significant career step for IT administrators transitioning from on-premises environments to Azure. With Microsoft Azure growing rapidly as a major cloud provider, AZ-104 certified professionals are in high demand across industries.
Unlike AZ-900 which never expires, AZ-104 requires annual renewal through a free online assessment on Microsoft Learn, keeping your knowledge current with Azure's rapid evolution.
