The Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate certification is earned by passing AZ-104 — Microsoft Azure Administrator. This official exam tests skills for administering Azure environments and is delivered through Pearson VUE testing channels.
In AZ-104, you’ll be assessed across practical competencies covering common Azure administration tasks. The exam is designed to evaluate your ability to plan, implement, and manage core Azure services—so you should be comfortable with real administration scenarios rather than memorizing facts.
The exam is typically computer-based and scheduled through the vendor’s exam booking process. When booking, you’ll use your official voucher to get credit applied to your exam registration in the Pearson VUE portal. Microsoft and Pearson VUE set the official scoring and passing requirements; therefore, you should prepare thoroughly based on the published exam objectives and ensure you can complete the required administrative tasks confidently.
