Microsoft Azure Fundamentals

The exam tests your foundational understanding of cloud computing in general and Microsoft Azure in particular. You need to be able to describe core cloud concepts as well as Azure architecture and services in areas such as compute, networking and storage. You are also tested on the features and tools used to manage, secure and govern Azure environments, including cost management and governance. Passing the exam gives you Microsoft's recognized proof of your Azure foundation and is a natural starting point for further specialization in the platform.

Exam focus areas:

• Describe cloud concepts (25–30%)
• Describe Azure architecture and services (35–40%)
• Describe Azure management and governance (30–35%)
