AZ-104

Microsoft Azure Administrator

Your First Real Job Title

This is the certification that turns “I’m learning cloud” into “I work in cloud.” AZ-104 is genuinely achievable for someone building on AZ-900 — you don’t need years of experience; you need structured hands-on practice, which is exactly what we build the course around.
We put you inside a real Azure environment from early on, because that’s how the confidence actually gets built — not by reading about virtual machines, but by creating, breaking, and fixing them yourself.

Who This Is For

People ready to move from understanding cloud concepts to actually running cloud environments. Ideal after AZ-900, or for anyone with some general IT background ready to specialize in Azure.

What You Walk Away Able To Do

  • Manage identities and access using Microsoft Entra ID with real confidence
  • Configure Azure storage and know which option fits which situation
  • Deploy and manage virtual machines and other compute resources
  • Set up networking that actually connects the way it’s supposed to
  • Monitor environments and know what to do when something breaks

How the Exam Works

One proctored exam built around real scenarios — you’re tested on judgment, not memorization, which is exactly why hands-on practice matters more than flashcards here.

What Comes Next

AZ-104 is the credential most Azure job postings actually name. From here, most people either specialize (AZ-500 for security) or move toward architecture (AZ-305).
