The Azure Overview
It has been over 3 years when Microsoft announced and released a few major changes in the existing Azure certification path, in 2018 at Ignite Conference. This announcement was no less than the beginning of the modern era of technology. The changes in the certification tracks were made to make the Azure certifications more role-based.
Along with the arrival of the new Azure certifications, the news contains the retirement of some of the existing Microsoft Azure exams at the end of 2018.
Even in 2020, with the announcement of new Azure Services, Microsoft replaced some of the new role-based Azure certifications and launched the new ones, on the basis of the feedback received from the exam takers. However, AZ 900 certification is still the entry point for any other Azure certification. Let’s go through this Azure learning path to get the most recent updates of Azure Certifications.
The new role-based Azure certifications establish a learning path from the Azure Fundamentals level to the Associate level and then to the Expert level. There are five Microsoft Azure Certifications paths for five different roles particularly based on Azure; the roles are –
- Azure Fundamentals
- Azure Administrator Associate
- Azure Developer Associate
- Azure Solutions Architect Expert
- Azure DevOps Engineer Expert
- Azure Security Engineer Associate
- Azure Data Engineer Associate
- Azure AI Engineer Associate
- Azure Data Scientist Associate
- Azure IoT Developer
- Azure Architect for SAP Workloads
