About the Azure Fundamentals Exam

The Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) exam is designed for anyone wanting to demonstrate foundational knowledge of cloud services and how Microsoft Azure delivers them. It's the entry point to Azure's certification ecosystem and is suitable for both technical and non-technical professionals.

Unlike more advanced Azure certifications, AZ-900 does not require hands-on experience with Azure. It tests your understanding of cloud concepts, core Azure services, Azure pricing and support, and fundamental security and compliance features. This makes it ideal for sales professionals, managers, students, and IT beginners.

Microsoft frequently offers free AZ-900 exam vouchers through virtual training days, making this potentially a zero-cost credential. Even at its standard $99 price, it's one of the most affordable cloud certifications available and provides a solid foundation for the entire Azure certification path.
