AZ-104 : Microsoft Azure Administrator

The AZ-104 exam, also known as the Microsoft Azure Administrator exam, evaluates an individual's expertise in managing and implementing Azure's services, including storage, compute, network, and security. Candidates for this certification should have a strong grasp of each service across the full IT lifecycle and should take requests for infrastructure services, applications, and environments. They should also be able to make recommendations on services used for optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, size, monitor, and adjust resources as needed. As of my knowledge cutoff in March 2023, the cost of the AZ-104 exam is typically $165 USD, but the price can vary depending on the country in which the exam is proctored. Prices are subject to change, and it is always best to check the official Microsoft certification website or contact Microsoft directly for the most current information regarding exam costs.
