New Microsoft Azure Certifications

Microsoft has recently announced new certification exam tracks for Azure Administrators, Developers and Architects. Here are the line ups that should help you move your career with right certifications. 

The three new Microsoft Azure Certifications are:

• Microsoft Certified Azure Developer
• Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator
• Microsoft Certified Azure Architect

These certifications would essentially split the previous MCSA/MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure track and introduce new exams for individual certification track. 

So far I only have limited information available about all the exam numbers for each individual track, as recently Microsoft has made BETA exams available for Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator track. 

• If you don’t have 070-533 exam certification from previous tracks then doing the following exams would would provide you Administrator track certification.
  • AZ-100: Microsoft Azure Infrastructure and Deployment
  • AZ-101: Microsoft Azure Integration and Security
• If you previously passed 070-533 exam, you can do the following Recertification/Transition exam to earn the Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator credential.
  • AZ-102: Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition

These exams are still in BETA, would commence general availability in coming months.  Will keep you posted about newer exams for other tracks as we get to know more.
