Certification Value
Azure Administrator Value in the Global Market
Microsoft Azure is one of the world’s largest cloud platforms, and every organization running workloads on it needs people who can manage identity, storage, compute, and networks securely and cost-effectively.
Course Overview
Overview
Azure Administrator Certification Course
Cloud administration is now a core IT skill. Organizations move servers, storage, applications, and networks to Microsoft Azure, and they need administrators who can set up secure identities, deploy virtual machines, protect data, and keep systems monitored and recoverable. The Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate credential, earned by passing the AZ-104 exam, proves you can do exactly that.
Our AZ-104 training course teaches you to work the way an Azure administrator works every day. You create users and groups in Microsoft Entra ID, assign Azure RBAC roles, apply Azure Policy, configure storage accounts, deploy virtual machines and containers, build virtual networks, and set up backup and monitoring, all in guided labs rather than slides.
The AZ-104 exam was updated on April 17, 2026. The skills measured are now weighted as follows: identities and governance (20–25%), storage (15–20%), compute (20–25%), virtual networking (15–20%), and monitoring and maintenance (10–15%). Our AZ-104 syllabus follows this latest outline, including ARM templates and Bicep files, Azure Container Apps, and Azure Backup vaults, so you prepare for the real exam and not an older version.
The Azure Administrator Associate certification is also a strong stepping stone. After AZ-104, you can move to expert and specialty paths such as Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305), DevOps Engineer (AZ-400), Azure Security Engineer (AZ-500), or Azure Network Engineer (AZ-700).
Start your AZ-104 online training today and take the next step toward a cloud administrator career.

Frequently Asked Questions
AZ-104 is the exam for Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate. It suits candidates who implement, manage, and monitor an organization’s Azure environment, including virtual networks, storage, compute, identity, security, and governance. Administrators often work with networking, security, database, and DevOps teams.
No, AZ-900 is not a requirement. However, Microsoft recommends hands-on experience with Azure, operating systems, networking, servers, and virtualization. If you are new to cloud concepts, learning AZ-900 topics first, or alongside our course, makes AZ-104 easier.
It is an associate-level exam, so it is harder than fundamentals exams. It tests hands-on administration, such as configuring a network security group, interpreting a Bicep file, or restoring a backup. Candidates who complete labs and mock tests usually find the questions far more manageable.
The skills measured, updated on April 17, 2026, cover identities and governance (20–25%), storage (15–20%), compute (20–25%), virtual networking (15–20%), and monitoring and maintenance (10–15%). The exam includes ARM templates and Bicep, Azure Container Apps, and Azure Backup.
The list price is USD 165. Microsoft shows the final price based on the country where the exam is taken, so the amount in India can differ, and taxes may apply. Confirm the current price on your Microsoft Learn profile before scheduling.
The exam typically has 40–60 questions and takes around 100 minutes, though the number and duration can vary. You need a score of 700 on a scale of 1–1000 to pass. Question types can include multiple choice, case studies, and interactive items.
Yes. Microsoft associate certifications expire annually, but you can renew for free by passing an online renewal assessment on Microsoft Learn, usually in the months before your expiry date. You do not need to retake the full exam.
Published salary data shows roughly ₹3–5L for entry-level roles, ₹5–8L for mid-level, and ₹8–15L for senior Azure administrators with 4–7 years of experience, depending on city, company, and skills. Adding Bicep, automation, and security skills moves you toward the higher range.
Common roles include Azure Administrator, Cloud Support Engineer, Cloud Operations Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, System Administrator (cloud), and Junior Cloud Engineer. With experience, many professionals move into cloud engineering, DevOps, and architecture roles.
AZ-900 is a fundamentals exam covering cloud concepts and core Azure services. AZ-104 is an associate-level exam focused on hands-on administration. Take AZ-900 first if you are completely new to the cloud, and AZ-104 if you want a job-ready, role-based credential.
Choose by goal. AZ-305 is for solution design, AZ-400 for DevOps, AZ-500 for security, and AZ-700 for networking. AZ-104 is a strong foundation for each of these paths, and the hands-on skills carry over directly.
Follow the latest skills measured, practise every topic in an Azure environment, use the free Microsoft practice assessment, and take timed mock tests. Our live AZ-104 online training adds trainer-led labs, lifetime session recordings, and practice questions, so you can revise at your own pace.
