AZ200

AZ-200, also known as Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure, was a Microsoft certification exam used as part of the Azure Developer Associate certification track. The exam evaluated a candidate’s ability to design and implement cloud-based solutions on Microsoft Azure. Key areas included implementing and developing Azure compute solutions; connecting to and consuming Azure storage; implementing security by using Azure identities; monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing Azure solutions; and working with data services, messaging, and integration services. The format typically included multiple-choice questions, case studies, and scenario-based tasks, sometimes with performance-based lab exercises. The exam was intended for developers responsible for building and maintaining cloud applications and services.

AZ-200 has been retired and replaced in the Microsoft certification program by AZ-204, Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure. In the current track, candidates pursue AZ-204 to earn the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate. Some training resources that previously aligned to AZ-200 have since been updated to reference AZ-204.

Prerequisites were not strictly enforced, but Microsoft recommended hands-on experience with Azure development, proficiency in a supported language such as C#, JavaScript, or Python, and familiarity with core Azure services including App Service, Functions, Storage, Cosmos DB, and Key Vault.
