Tip: AZ-204 rewards implementation instincts. In review mode, write a one-line “why” for every miss (e.g., “needs ordering + DLQ”, “prefer managed identity”, “Event Hubs is for streams”).

Suggested progression

  1. Domain drills (daily): 2× 20–30 question sets focused on one domain.
  2. Mixed sets (alternate days): 1× 35–45 questions combining 2–3 domains.
  3. Full mocks (final 10–14 days): 2–3 complete exams; review every miss and rebuild weak domains.

Timeboxing

  • Domain set: ~35–50 minutes
  • Mixed set: ~60–75 minutes
  • Full mock: ~120 minutes

Skills measured (by domain)

Microsoft’s published weighting (subject to change):

Domain Weight
Develop Azure compute solutions 25–30%
Develop for Azure storage 15–20%
Implement Azure security 15–20%
Monitor and troubleshoot Azure solutions 5–10%
Connect to and consume Azure services and third-party services 20–25%

What’s actually hard on AZ-204

  • Identity + auth nuance: picking the right auth flow, validating tokens, and choosing managed identity vs app secrets.
  • Secure access patterns: Key Vault vs App Configuration, SAS vs RBAC, and least‑privilege reasoning.
  • Messaging/event selection: Event Grid vs Event Hubs vs Service Bus vs Storage Queues (and why).
  • Compute trade-offs: App Service vs Functions vs Container Apps vs ACI (scale, cold start, ops, cost).
  • Operational thinking: Application Insights signals, alerts, and troubleshooting “why is this failing?” scenarios.

Readiness checklist

  • I can deploy a web API to App Service, set app settings, enable diagnostics, and use slots safely.
  • I can build/push an image to ACR and run it on Container Apps or ACI.
  • I can implement Functions triggers and bindings and handle retries + poison messages.
  • I can do CRUD and queries with Cosmos DB SDK, choose consistency, and use change feed.
  • I can use Blob SDK, metadata/properties, and lifecycle policies.
  • I can implement Microsoft Identity platform auth and call Microsoft Graph.
  • I can secure secrets with Key Vault and use managed identity in code.
  • I can instrument apps with Application Insights and build basic alerts.
  • I can publish and protect APIs with API Management and policies.

Study plan (efficient)

  1. Pick a timeline: 30/60/90-day Study Plan →
  2. Work the Syllabus task-by-task; drill immediately after each task.
  3. Keep a miss log: convert misses into one-liner rules (“Event Grid routes events; Event Hubs ingests streams”, “Prefer managed identity over client secrets”).
  4. Final 10–14 days: mixed sets + at least a couple timed runs; review every miss.
