Azure Azure Fundamentals

About this Exam

The Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) is the entry-level Azure certification designed for anyone wanting to demonstrate foundational knowledge of cloud computing and Azure services. Similar to the AWS Cloud Practitioner, it does not require deep technical skills but validates understanding of cloud concepts, core Azure services, Azure pricing and support, and cloud security and compliance fundamentals. The exam covers infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and serverless computing models. You will learn about Azure regions, availability zones, resource groups, and subscriptions. The AZ-900 is particularly valuable for professionals in Microsoft-heavy organizations where Azure adoption is growing, and it serves as the foundation for more advanced Azure certifications like AZ-104 and AZ-204.
