    Is the Azure Fundamentals Certification Worth It in Washington D.C.?

    The Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Certification (AZ-900) is a foundational credential that validates an individual’s basic knowledge of Microsoft Azure’s cloud services. This certification exam is often the first step toward obtaining associate level and expert level certifications, furthering yourself along with one of the Microsoft Azure certifications paths.

    Validating your basic understanding and knowledge with the Azure Fundamentals certification is beneficial in various ways. Perhaps the most important benefit of obtaining Azure certifications is the earning potential they provide. The following are some of the roles and salaries that Microsoft Azure certified employees enjoy in Washington, D.C.:

    • Azure Architect - $105,451 - $215,648 per year
    • Azure Developer - $104,397 - $185,595 per year
    • Azure Cloud Engineer - $47,980 - $210,375 per year
    • Azure Administrator - $26,890 - $166,085 per year

    Besides higher earning potential, there are various benefits to learning Azure and obtaining credentials:

    • Azure is widely used. The Microsoft Azure platform is one of the most widely recognized and utilized cloud services providers in Washington, D.C., and worldwide.
    • More professional opportunities. Because the Azure platform is so widely used, more organizations want to hire IT professionals who have experience using it. Azure credentialed candidates are more likely to be employed in those situations because their certifications show that they have the specific knowledge that companies are looking for.
    • Demonstrates dedication. The Azure Fundamentals certification, as well as other Azure credentials, show an individual’s commitment to continued learning in the IT field.

    How Hard is the Azure Fundamentals Certification Exam?

    The certification exam for Microsoft Azure Fundamentals is designed to test your foundational knowledge about cloud services, particularly those offered by the Azure platform. While this course is optional and it is not a prerequisite for other Azure certification exams, it will help you to prepare for certification exams you take in the future. For candidates who have minimal experience with cloud services or Microsoft Azure, this certification exam will be difficult. The test covers the basic concepts of cloud computing as well as topics that are specific to the Azure platform.

    The following are the subjects that are included on the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certification exam:

    • Benefits and considerations of cloud computing services
    • Differences between Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS).
    • Key differences among cloud models (Public, Private, and Hybrid)
    • Fundamental architectural elements of the Microsoft Azure platform
    • Core Azure products and solutions
    • Pricing and support for the Azure cloud computing platform

    There are 40-60 questions on the exam, and you have to attain a score of 700 or above to pass. You are allotted 85 minutes to complete the test. Students who are prepared for the AZ-900 exam (through experience with the platform or a Microsoft Azure training course) and who have taken practice tests, will have a much easier time successfully passing the exam and earning the certification.
