AZ-104 — Microsoft Azure Administrator
Core learning · AZ-140
Learn the role, one area at a time
Work through the official guide and its learning resources. Use these three study blocks to organize your notes; the official skills outline remains your complete coverage checklist.
- 1.Host pools, session hosts and capacity planning
- 2.Identity, access, profiles and application delivery
- 3.Monitoring, scaling and user-experience troubleshooting
Hands-on consolidation
Put it into practice
Plan a desktop service for two user personas. Document host pool choice, profile storage, access controls and how you would diagnose a slow sign-in.
Ready to move on when…
You can connect design decisions to user experience, security and operating cost.
Use a dedicated lab and synthetic data, never an employer's production environment. Check licensing and costs before provisioning; budget alerts do not stop spending. Remove resources when finished.
Review & exam planning
Find gaps with our AZ-140 test
Try the test, explain each missed answer and return to the corresponding learning topic. Repeat the practical task where needed. A practice score is feedback, not proof of certification readiness.
