Microsoft Azure AZ-104 Certification Training Course
Implement, manage, and monitor Microsoft Azure — the Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) work. This is not AZ-900. AZ-900 is an optional primer only.
Implement, manage, and monitor Azure — not cloud vocabulary.
Accumentum’s Microsoft Azure AZ-104 Certification Training Course prepares Azure administrators to implement, manage, and monitor Azure. The work is the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate exam (AZ-104).
This course is not AZ-900. AZ-900 is an optional primer only. Postpone AZ-104 if you are still on cloud vocabulary; start here when you are ready to administer identities, storage, compute, networks, and monitoring in Azure.
What you will be able to implement and manage.
Entra, RBAC, and governance
Microsoft Entra ID, role-based access control, Azure Policy, resource locks, and tags.
Storage
Storage accounts, shared access signatures, Azure Files, and Blob storage.
Compute and IaC
Virtual machines, scale sets, containers, App Service, plus ARM and Bicep.
Networks, monitor, and recovery
Virtual networks, Bastion, load balancing, Azure Monitor, Backup, and Azure Site Recovery.
Who Should Attend
- Azure administrators who implement, manage, and monitor Azure.
- Systems, network, and identity professionals expanding into Azure administration.
- People with AZ-900 or equivalent Azure fundamentals who are ready for administrator work.
- Learners still on cloud vocabulary should postpone AZ-104 and use AZ-900 as an optional primer only.
Prerequisites
- AZ-900 or equivalent familiarity with Azure is recommended; AZ-900 is not this course.
- This training is for administrators who implement Azure, not for AZ-900 beginners.
- Postpone this course if you are still building cloud vocabulary.
- Hands-on practice with Azure identities, storage, compute, and networking supports AZ-104 exam readiness.
