Microsoft AZ-305 Practice Status: Azure Architect

Track Microsoft AZ-305 practice status for Azure Architect, review the route, and request an IT Mastery practice update.

AZ-305 is Microsoft’s Azure solutions architect design exam for candidates who need to justify service selection under security, governance, resilience, performance, and cost constraints.

This page tracks the AZ-305 practice availability for IT Mastery. Full simulator practice is not live yet, but you can review the exam snapshot, topic coverage, and related live Azure practice options.

Who AZ-305 is for

  • architects designing Azure solutions across identity, networking, storage, governance, continuity, and hybrid integration
  • candidates moving beyond hands-on administration into architecture trade-offs and design justification
  • teams deciding between Azure administrator, developer, and architect paths and needing the page that matches design-level questions

DomainWeight
Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions25-30%
Design data storage solutions20-25%
Design business continuity solutions15-20%
Design infrastructure solutions30-35%

What AZ-305 questions usually test

  • choosing the right Azure architecture for identity, governance, networking, storage, and continuity requirements in the same scenario
  • reading the constraint that matters most first: cost, security, region strategy, hybrid need, operational overhead, or resilience target
  • comparing multiple valid Azure designs and defending the one that is simpler to operate and scale
  • mapping administrator-level resource behavior into architect-level decisions about topology, policy, and long-term fit

How to prepare while practice is not live yet

  1. Start with identity/governance and infrastructure design, because AZ-305 usually rewards the candidate who reads scope, policy, and topology constraints correctly first.
  2. Practice naming the trade-off behind each answer choice: simpler operations, stronger resilience, lower cost, easier compliance, or better hybrid fit.
  3. Use the live Azure pages below to refresh current service behavior and platform vocabulary before dedicated AZ-305 practice is available.
  4. Request an update above if AZ-305 is your actual target so we know this route matters to you.
