About this exam
The Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Examination is an entry-level certification exam that checks your understanding of core cloud concepts and how Microsoft Azure delivers services. It is designed for people beginning a cloud career, including IT support specialists, administrators, students, and decision-makers who need foundational cloud terminology. You do not generally need prior Azure experience or another certification to sit the exam. AZ-900 establishes basic knowledge; it is not a test of advanced Azure administration or hands-on engineering skills.
The AZ-900 exam covers cloud computing principles, benefits, and shared responsibility; cloud models and consumption-based pricing; and the differences among IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. You should also review Azure architecture and services, including regions, availability zones, and region pairs, along with management and governance concepts. The exam is timed and may use different question formats, so check the current Microsoft exam page for the latest skills outline and delivery details. A focused review of official materials and practice questions can help reveal topics that need more study.

- Review Azure regions, availability zones, region pairs, pricing, and governance. For each concept, practise explaining when it matters rather than memorizing terms in isolation.
