Understand the certification

微软系企业云运维的硬通货 — 95% 的 Fortune 500 在用 Azure,AZ-104 是进 Azure 运维岗的简历门槛。

Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate(考试代号 AZ-104)是微软 Azure 体系里报考人数最多的 Associate 级认证,2024 年微软官方披露全球累计持证人数已经突破 45 万。它对标的是 AWS 的 SAA-C03,但定位不同 — SAA 偏"架构选型判断",AZ-104 偏"动手运维操作"。

这张证不止考你认不认识 Azure 服务,它会真的给你扔 PowerShell 命令片段、Azure CLI 输出、ARM/Bicep 模板让你读,让你判断"这条命令执行后会发生什么"、"这个 NSG 规则会不会拦住流量"。换句话说:它考的是真的能不能上手干活的运维能力,不是单纯的选择题套路。这也是它在企业 IT 部门含金量比较硬的原因 — HR 看到 AZ-104 基本能确定你不是嘴上谈兵。

考纲覆盖 5 个领域:管理 Azure 身份和治理(20-25%)、实施和管理存储(15-20%)、部署和管理 Azure 计算资源(20-25%)、实施和管理虚拟网络(15-20%)、监控和维护 Azure 资源(10-15%)。考试时间 100 分钟(实际加上同意条款约 120 分钟),40-60 道题,包括单选、多选、拖放、热点和案例分析(Case Study)。通过分数 700/1000,考试费 $165 USD。

为什么企业 IT 部门更偏 Azure?因为 Azure AD(现已改名 Entra ID)是企业身份的事实标准,再加上 Microsoft 365、Intune、Defender 这一整套生态,几乎所有用 Outlook + Teams + Windows 的公司都已经"被动上了 Azure"。这导致 Azure 在传统大企业(银行、保险、政府、制造业)的渗透率远高于 AWS。如果你目标是进入大型企业 IT 部门或者外企在华分公司,AZ-104 比 AWS SAA 更直接对口。

AZ-104 的另一个特点是 每年需要免费续期(Renewal Assessment)。微软会在你证书到期前 6 个月开放一份在线 renewal,约 25 题、不限时、可以查文档,通过即可续证 1 年。这是它和 AWS 认证(每 3 年重考、每次 $150)相比一个被忽略的优势。

Included in your preparation

  • 10 structured chapters covering the full admin exam scope
  • 400+ practice questions with explanations
  • Three full mock exams for pacing and review
  • Hands-on lab style practice for admin workflows
  • PowerShell and CLI focused exercises

1. 第一阶段:搭建 Azure 实操环境(第 1 周)

不要只看视频。第一周一定要做的是:注册 Azure 免费账户($200 信用 + 12 个月免费服务),装好 Azure CLI 和 Azure PowerShell(Az Module),跟着 Microsoft Learn 的 AZ-104 学习路径走完前 2 个 module。目标:能在 Portal、CLI、PowerShell 三种方式都创建一个 VM、一个存储账户、一个 VNet。这是后面所有学习的"肌肉记忆"基础。

2. 第二阶段:按考试域系统过一遍(第 2-5 周)

按 5 大考试域顺序攻克:Identity & Governance(Entra ID、RBAC、Azure Policy、Management Groups)→ Storage(Blob 存储层、Lifecycle、SAS Token、AzCopy)→ Compute(VM 大小、Availability Set vs Zone、VMSS、ARM/Bicep)→ Networking(VNet、Subnet、NSG vs ASG、VNet Peering、Hub-Spoke)→ Monitoring(Azure Monitor、Log Analytics、KQL 查询、Backup、ASR)。每个领域必须动手做 3-5 个实验,光看不做考试一定挂。

3. 第三阶段:刷官方题库 + 案例分析(第 6-7 周)

AZ-104 的题型比 AWS SAA 复杂得多 — 有拖放题(按顺序排步骤)、热点题(在截图上点正确位置)、案例分析(一个长场景配 5-8 道题)。MeasureUp(微软官方授权)和 Tutorials Dojo 的题库是公认最接近真题的。每天刷 30-50 题,错题必须对照微软官方文档重做。特别留意 PowerShell vs CLI 的命令差异,考试经常考"下面哪条命令能实现 X"。

4. 第四阶段:模考冲刺 + 实操复盘(第 8 周)

至少做 3 套全真模考,稳定 80% 以上才能去考(AZ-104 实际比模考稍难,留出 5-10% 的 buffer)。最后一周重点过:NSG 规则计算(出入站优先级)、Storage Account 复制策略(LRS/ZRS/GRS/RA-GRS 区别)、VM 备份策略、KQL 基础查询。考试当天注意:案例分析题不能回头,做之前一定要把所有相关 tab 看完再答题。

Career value

为什么企业市场上 AZ-104 比 AWS SAA 更"对口"

AWS 在创业公司、互联网公司里是绝对的主流;但当你看银行、保险、能源、政府、医疗、制造这些"传统大企业",Azure 的市场份额经常超过 AWS。原因很简单:这些公司原本就用 Active Directory、Exchange、SCCM、Windows Server,迁云的时候顺手就上 Azure,因为身份和权限是无缝衔接的。Synergy Research 2025 Q1 的数据里,Azure 在企业市场(>10000 员工)的占比达到 38%,AWS 是 33%。

这意味着如果你简历投的是四大行、保险公司、政府部门、制造业 IT、外企在华办公室,AZ-104 的"识别度"通常比 AWS SAA 更高 — HR 一看就知道你能上手他们现有的基础设施。

AZ-104 持证者实际拿到的薪资范围(2026 数据)

  • 澳洲 Sydney/Melbourne:Azure Administrator 起薪 AUD 105k-130k,3-5 年经验 130k-155k。如果同时有 AZ-104 + AZ-305 + Terraform 经验,能冲到 165k+。
  • 美国:USD 120k-175k,纽约/旧金山 +20-30%。Azure DevOps 方向(AZ-104 + AZ-400)平均比纯运维高 25%。
  • 中国一线:北上深的 Azure 运维岗 RMB 28-52 万,外企(微软、IBM、埃森哲、德勤)会更高。
  • 新加坡:SGD 90-140k,金融业(DBS、UOB、星展)对 Azure 需求特别大。

最适合考 AZ-104 的人

  1. 传统 Windows/Linux 系统管理员转云:你已经懂 AD、DNS、DHCP、组策略、PowerShell — AZ-104 几乎是为你量身定制的,学习曲线最平。
  2. 从 AZ-900 升级:你已经过了 AZ-900 但发现它太基础(Fundamentals 只考概念),想真的进 Azure 运维岗,AZ-104 是必经之路。
  3. 企业 IT 部门 DevOps 起步:如果你的公司用 Microsoft 365 + Azure AD,团队需要有人管 Azure 资源 — 这张证 + Bicep/Terraform 就能拿下大部分内部岗位。
  4. 想做混合云 / 多云架构:AZ-104 + AWS SAA 双证组合在 2026 年的招聘里非常吃香,因为大企业普遍是混合云战略。

不适合考的人:完全没有任何 IT 基础的转行者(先考 AZ-900);只想做应用开发不碰基础设施的纯软件工程师(考 AZ-204 Developer 更对口);已经做 5 年以上 Azure 架构的资深工程师(直接冲 AZ-305 Solutions Architect Expert)。

Preparation tips

  • **申请 ESL +30 分钟加时**:母语非英语考生免费多 30 分钟,报名时在 Accommodation 里申请。AZ-104 题量大、阅读量大,多 30 分钟非常关键。
  • **Case Study 不可回头**:考试中的案例分析做完进入下一部分就回不来了,做之前一定要确认所有题目都答完,包括"标记复习"的题。
  • **关键词敏感**:看到 "least privilege" → 想 RBAC + 自定义角色;看到 "lowest cost storage" → 想 Cool/Archive Tier;看到 "highly available across zones" → ZRS 而不是 LRS;看到 "private connectivity" → Private Endpoint 而不是 Service Endpoint。
  • **PowerShell vs CLI 命令格式**:PowerShell 用 `Verb-Noun` 格式(New-AzVM、Get-AzStorageAccount),Azure CLI 用 `az resource action` 格式(az vm create、az storage account list)。考试会故意混淆,记清两套语法。
  • **用排除法**:每道题先快速排除 1-2 个明显错的(比如把 Blob Storage 用来跑 SQL Server),剩下的答案再仔细比较。AZ-104 的"陷阱选项"通常是"技术上可行但不是最佳实践"。
  • **考前一晚不要硬刷**:AZ-104 是阅读量很大的考试,考前应该睡足。临场反应比多记 50 题答案更重要。

Common mistakes

  • **只看视频不动手** — AZ-104 是动手考试,看 100 小时视频不如做 20 个小时实验。每个核心概念(VM、Storage、VNet、Backup)必须自己在 Azure Portal 上搭一遍。
  • **忽略 PowerShell 和 Azure CLI 命令** — 考试一定会出"哪条命令完成 X 操作",光会点 Portal 是不够的。重点记 `New-AzVM`、`az network nsg rule create`、`Get-AzStorageAccount` 这类高频命令。
  • **把 NSG 和 ASG 搞混** — NSG(Network Security Group)是规则集合,ASG(Application Security Group)是把 VM 分组让 NSG 规则更好写。考试很爱出这种"组合拳"题。
  • **Storage 复制策略混乱** — LRS(同机房 3 副本)、ZRS(跨可用区)、GRS(跨区域异步)、RA-GRS(跨区域异步可读)必须背熟,差一个字母就错。
  • **案例分析题先答后看** — Case Study 给的背景文档很长(5-8 个 tab),很多人着急答题没看完所有 tab,后面发现关键约束在最后一个 tab 里。先花 5 分钟过完所有 tab 再开始答题。
  • **忽略 Renewal Assessment** — 很多人考完就忘了 AZ-104 每年要续。证书到期前 6 个月微软会发邮件提醒,免费在线考 25 题就能续,千万别让证过期。

Before you register

What is the AZ-104 exam format and passing score?

The AZ-104 exam contains 40-60 questions with a 120-minute time limit. Question types include multiple choice, drag-and-drop, and case studies. The passing score is 700/1000. The exam costs $165 USD and the certification must be renewed annually.

What is the difference between AZ-104 and AZ-900?

AZ-900 is a foundational certification covering Azure cloud concepts and basic services. AZ-104 is an Associate-level certification requiring hands-on skills to manage Azure resources. We recommend passing AZ-900 first to build a solid foundation before preparing for AZ-104.

What domains does the AZ-104 exam cover?

The exam covers 5 domains: Manage Azure identities and governance (20-25%), Implement and manage storage (15-20%), Deploy and manage Azure compute resources (20-25%), Implement and manage virtual networking (20-25%), and Monitor and maintain Azure resources (10-15%).

How long should I study for AZ-104?

With Azure fundamentals (or AZ-900), plan 6-8 weeks of systematic study at 1-2 hours per day. Focus on hands-on practice with Azure Portal, PowerShell, and CLI. Without prior experience, allow 10-12 weeks and start with AZ-900 content first.

Do I need to know PowerShell and CLI commands for AZ-104?

Yes. The AZ-104 exam includes PowerShell and Azure CLI questions requiring you to read commands, understand outputs, and select the correct commands. Focus on resource creation, network configuration, and RBAC-related commands.

How does AZ-104 certification help my career?

AZ-104 is the core Azure administrator certification and a prerequisite for advanced certifications like AZ-305 (Solutions Architect) and AZ-400 (DevOps Engineer). Certified professionals see an average salary increase of 15-20%, with growing global demand for Azure administration roles.

我做了 6 年 Windows 域控管理,AD、GPO 闭眼睛都能搭。学 AZ-104 最大的感受是 Entra ID 跟传统 AD 的概念几乎一一对应,过渡非常顺。难点反而在 Networking — NSG 优先级和 ASG 那块卡了我一周。Bicep 完全是新东西,我跳过没考,直接靠 ARM template 应付的。

考过 AWS SAA 再来考 AZ-104,最大的不适应是题型 — AWS 全是单选场景题,AZ-104 有拖放、热点、case study,节奏完全不一样。建议至少留 1 周专门练这些非选择题。考前我在 MeasureUp 上刷了 600 题,案例分析占了将近一半时间。

我是大四毕业前考的,先花了 4 周过 AZ-900,然后 9 周准备 AZ-104。零基础的话强烈建议这个顺序,直接冲 AZ-104 会被各种概念淹没。考试时拖放题做错了 2 道,险过 722。简历加这个证后面试的回复率从 10% 涨到 30% 左右,最后入职了一家外企的 Junior Cloud Ops 岗。
