Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Training (AZ-104)

AZ-104 is the exam for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate certification, which proves you can implement, manage and monitor a Microsoft Azure environment. CertOcean's AZ-104 training teaches you to set up, deploy and scale Azure virtual machines, configure and manage storage, secure and monitor cloud infrastructure, and manage virtual networking and identities.

You need a score of 700 or more (on a scale of 1 to 1,000) to pass. The certification is valid for one year, and you can renew it for free with an online assessment on Microsoft Learn.

AZ-104 training gives you administrator-level skills in the main parts of Azure, including storage, virtual machines, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Site Recovery, virtual networks and backup. You learn to:

• Use the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, Cloud Shell and the Azure CLI
• Configure traffic distribution with Azure Load Balancer, Traffic Manager and Application Gateway
• Deploy and manage Azure Storage, virtual machines and App Service
• Integrate applications with Microsoft Entra ID and set up multifactor authentication (MFA)

AZ-104 training is a good fit for:

• IT administrators who want to manage Azure infrastructure
• Professionals preparing for the Azure Administrator Associate certification
• Startups and companies building their infrastructure in the cloud
• Cloud learners who already know the basics, for example from AZ-900

There are no formal prerequisites for this AZ-104 course. You will get the most from it if you have some IT administration experience, a basic understanding of cloud computing, virtualization, networking and databases, and some comfort with PowerShell and command-line tools.

You only need a computer with a modern web browser and a good internet connection. If you have any setup questions, our 24x7 support team will help.

You do all practicals and projects in a lab environment set up for the AZ-104 course, so you get real hands-on practice with Azure services.
