The AZ-104 exam validates the skills required to implement, manage, and monitor an organization's Microsoft Azure environment. It tests a candidate's ability to manage identities, governance, storage, compute, and virtual networks, ensuring they can maintain a secure and efficient cloud infrastructure. This exam is designed for Azure Administrators who have experience implementing and managing cloud solutions. It is a rigorous technical exam that requires a deep understanding of both the Azure Portal and command-line tools like Azure CLI and PowerShell. Prerequisites are not mandatory, but it is highly recommended that candidates have a foundational understanding of cloud concepts, ideally achieved through the AZ-900 certification, and at least six months of hands-on experience with Azure services.
