AZ-100: Microsoft Azure Infrastructure & Deployment

OVERVIEW
Building Strategic Influence in Matrix Organizations

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform for building, deploying and managing services and applications from anywhere, and at any time. With Azure, you can also add cloud computing capabilities to your existing network through PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) or IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) model to explore the IaaS architecture of Microsoft Azure.

The all new AZ-100 Microsoft Azure Infrastructure and Deployment certification validates an individual’s expertise as an Azure administrator, focussing on their abilities to manage the cloud services including storage, security, networking and compute capabilities within the Microsoft Azure cloud.

This new certification track has eliminated modules that are out of scope for most Azure professionals and including every relevant skill that they would need to be successful.
