AZ-204 is the certification that bridges your existing development expertise with Azure-native patterns. It teaches you to: Containerize .NET apps with Docker and deploy to Azure Container Instances or AKS Secure secrets with Key Vault and Managed Identities (critical for enterprise compliance) Implement CI/CD using Azure Pipelines (which is the core of Azure DevOps ) Integrate monitoring, logging, and tracing (App Insights, OpenTelemetry) Use Azure Service Bus, Event Grid, and Storage Queues for async communication This is not just a “developer cert.” It’s the foundation for becoming a Cloud-Native Application Architect. After AZ-204 — The Real Target: AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions Why AZ-400 is your ultimate goal: You’re not just writing code — you’re leading delivery teams . You understand that 80% of enterprise failures are not technical — they’re process failures . AZ-400 is the only Azure cert that treats DevOps as a discipline , not a toolset. It integrates: Azure Repos (Git) Azure Pipelines (CI/CD) Azure Test Plans Azure Boards (Agile) Azure Artifacts Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep) Security and Compliance automation Monitoring and feedback loops In Fortune 500 companies, the most respected technical leaders aren’t the ones who know how to click Azure Portal buttons — they’re the ones who: Automated the deployment of 100+ microservices using YAML pipelines Reduced production incidents by 70% through automated canary releases Designed the IaC standard (Bicep) adopted across 20 teams Mentored developers to shift-left on security and testing AZ-400 is the badge that says: “I don’t just write code. I design the system that makes code delivery reliable at scale.”
