- [Instructor] In July of 2018,
Microsoft announced major changes
to exam certification structure.
They announced three new
Azure certifications.
Those being,
Azure Administrator,
Azure Developer,
and Azure Solutions Architect.
Let's examine each of these.
Starting with the
Azure Administrator certification.
For this certification,
you are now required to
write two exams.
AZ-100, Microsoft Azure Infrastructure
and Deployment,
plus a second exam.
AZ-101, Microsoft Azure Integration
and Security.
The same holds true for the
Azure Developer certification.
There are two exams.
As of this recording,
we do not know the names
or the numbering of these exams.
And the Azure Solution Architect
will also contain two exams.
A design exam and a tech exam.
This course is based on AZ-102,
Microsoft Azure Administrator
Certification Transition Exam.
In order to write this exam,
you must already have
Microsoft exam 70-533 under your belt.
And this exam will combine
objectives from AZ-100 and AZ-101.
Let's take a look at the
breakdown of this exam.
And as you can see,
evaluate and perform Azure
migration to Azure, manage identities,
and configure and manage
virtual networks,
make up the bulk of this exam.
And that's where you should
spend your time studying.
The other five components
make up the rest of the exam,
and you may need to spend
a little less time there for review.
To meet the objectives,
you'll need to know how to perform
configurations in the portal,
using Powershell, and the
command line interphase.
And what about future exams?
Well, right now it's a
wait and see scenario.
We do know that Microsoft
will be updating several certifications
and exams in 2018 and 2019.
Therefore, stay tuned for updates.
