Frequently
Asked Questions
Still have questions? Our counsellors are happy to help.
AZ-104 is not a formal prerequisite to sit AZ-500, but Microsoft strongly recommends it. AZ-500 assumes deep familiarity with Azure networking, storage, compute and identity management — all covered in AZ-104. Candidates without this foundation typically struggle with the platform protection domain.
