Azure Developer
Targets Azure application developer roles. AZ-900 builds cloud literacy, AZ-204 validates cloud-native development skills, and AZ-400 adds the DevOps engineering credential for teams building and shipping software on Azure.
AZ-900 establishes cloud and Azure fundamentals before you specialize in application development. Understanding the platform you are building on makes AZ-204 concepts significantly clearer.
AZ-204 validates the ability to build, test, and maintain cloud applications on Azure. It covers compute, storage, security, and API integration — the core skills for Azure application developers.
AZ-400 adds the DevOps engineering credential — CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and continuous monitoring using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. Requires AZ-104 or AZ-204 as a prerequisite.
