This training covers the essentials that a Solutions Architect will need to use Microsoft Azure as their cloud platform for a project. The Azure Architect should have advanced experience and knowledge of IT operations, including networking, virtualization, identity, security, business continuity, disaster recovery, data platforms, and governance.
A professional in this role should manage how decisions in each area affect an overall solution.
The older Azure Architect exams AZ-303 and AZ-304 are got replaced with this new AZ-305 exam. Starting from 31st March 2022, you will need to pass this new exams AZ-305 along with the AZ-104 (Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate).
We are covering following exam topics practically:
- Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions (25-30%)
- Design data storage solutions (25-30%)
- Design business continuity solutions (10-15%)
- Design infrastructure solutions (25-30%)
