About this exam
The Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900) Examination is a foundational certification exam for people beginning to work with data on Microsoft Azure. It assesses whether candidates understand core data concepts and can distinguish common data workloads and Azure services; it is not a measure of advanced engineering experience or a guarantee of employment. The exam may suit students, career changers, and professionals who want to demonstrate basic knowledge before pursuing role-based Azure data certifications.
DP-900 study areas include core data concepts and data roles, relational data such as tables, keys, and relationships, non-relational data, and analytics workloads in Azure. Candidates should be ready to recognize how transactional and analytical workloads differ and which Azure services fit common scenarios. The exam uses objective question formats, with the precise structure and measured skills subject to change. Review the current Microsoft exam skills outline before studying, and use practice questions to identify gaps rather than relying on memorized answers.
How to prepare for the DP-900 exam
- Start with Microsoft's current DP-900 skills outline and organize your study around its measured areas, including core data concepts, relational and non-relational data, and analytics workloads.
- Review Azure service documentation and compare services by their purpose and suitable use cases; pay particular attention to data roles and the differences between transactional and analytical workloads.
- Use timed, mixed-topic practice to spot weak areas, then explain why each answer is correct or incorrect. Recheck the official exam page for the latest skills outline and exam details.
