AZ-900 - Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals

The AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals) program is the entry point of the Azure certification path, with no prerequisites. It covers cloud concepts (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, public/private/hybrid, benefits and the shared responsibility model), Azure architecture and services (Regions, availability zones, compute, networking, storage, databases), and Azure management and governance (identity with Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, policy, cost management and the Trust Center).

The course pairs concepts with real portal work: you explore virtual machines, storage accounts, virtual networks and Azure SQL, examine Entra ID and role-based access control, and use the pricing calculator and Cost Management — preparing you for the AZ-900 exam and the associate certifications that follow.

Key Features:
  • The foundational Azure certification — no prerequisites
  • Cloud concepts: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and the shared responsibility model
  • Azure architecture: Regions, availability zones, resource groups
  • Core services: Virtual Machines, Storage, VNets, Azure SQL

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the AZ-900 certification?

AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals) is Microsoft's foundational Azure certification — validating understanding of cloud concepts, core Azure services, and Azure management, governance, security and pricing.

No — AZ-900 has no prerequisites and suits both technical and non-technical roles. The course builds cloud and Azure concepts from the ground up with guided portal practice.

If you're new to Azure, yes — it builds the vocabulary and mental model that make AZ-104 much easier. Experienced engineers sometimes go straight to AZ-104.

It's Microsoft's cloud identity service, formerly called Azure Active Directory. It handles authentication, MFA, conditional access and RBAC — and appears throughout the exam.

Yes — you work in the Azure portal exploring VMs, storage, networking, identity and cost tools, so concepts are concrete rather than theoretical.

Through Pearson VUE at a test centre or online with a proctor. We guide you through registration and scheduling.

Microsoft role-based certifications are valid for one year and renewed free through a short online assessment you can take from anywhere before expiry.
