AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure
Be thoroughly prepared for the exam and immediately learn how to build and manage modern cloud applications on Azure.
Applications increasingly run fully in the cloud. Microsoft Azure provides a powerful and flexible platform for that, from compute to data and AI. The AZ-204 certification teaches you how to develop, integrate, and manage modern applications on Azure. You’ll discover how to turn code into secure, scalable solutions and how to combine Azure services into robust software. This is an associate-level certification: you already have foundational knowledge, such as the AZ-900 certification or hands-on Azure experience.
Learn to build Azure applications with confidence
In this certification track, you’ll elevate your Azure development skills. You won’t just learn the exam material, you’ll gain hands-on experience with scenarios you can directly apply in real projects. After completion, you’ll be able to:
- Design, implement, and maintain cloud-native applications on Azure
- Build secure and scalable solutions using modern architectural principles
