About this exam
The Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate credential is intended for developers who build, deploy, and maintain cloud applications on Microsoft Azure. Candidates often search for the AZ-204 exam, historically associated with this certification, to assess practical skills in implementing Azure solutions rather than general cloud concepts alone. It is relevant to software developers and application engineers working with Azure services. For a 2027–28 plan, verify the current Microsoft Learn certification page first: exam availability and certification requirements can change, and an older exam may be retired or replaced.
Key study areas include configuring, deploying, and scaling Azure App Service applications; creating Azure Functions with triggers, bindings, and durable workflows; and working with Azure Container Registry and Container Instances. Candidates should also review Blob Storage uploads, access tiers, and lifecycle policies, along with the other objectives on the current exam skills outline. Question formats and emphasis can change, so prepare to apply concepts to practical scenarios rather than memorize definitions. Timed question practice can help you spot weak areas, but use Microsoft’s official outline to guide what you review.
How to prepare for the Azure Developer Associate exam
- Download the current Microsoft Learn exam skills outline and map each objective to a service or development task you can explain or perform.
- Review App Service, Functions, containers, and Blob Storage by comparing configuration choices and working through realistic deployment and troubleshooting scenarios.
- Use timed practice questions to identify gaps, then revisit the relevant Microsoft Learn documentation; confirm the exam’s current format and availability before scheduling.
