Understand the certification

非技术背景进 Azure 体系的最便宜门票,$99 + 2 周拿一张永不过期的微软官方证书。

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals(AZ-900)是微软 Azure 认证体系的基础级入口,2018 年 9 月上线,截至 2026 年是微软所有 Azure 认证里持证人数最多、通过率最高的一张(社区数据显示充分准备的考生首考通过率约 85-90%)。和 AWS、GCP 同级证书相比,它最大的差异是永不过期 —— 一次 $99,终身有效,不用像 AWS CLF-C02 那样每 3 年续证。

为什么 AZ-900 在 2026 年值得单独讨论?因为微软在企业云市场的地位还在加速。Synergy Research 2026 年初数据显示 Azure 全球市场份额约 23-25%,仅次于 AWS 的 31%;微软 FY2026 Q2 财报里 Azure 营收同比增长 39%,是三大云里增速最快的。更关键的是 85% 的 Fortune 500 企业用 Azure,欧美大型银行、保险、政府、医疗几乎清一色 Microsoft 技术栈,这个市场是 AWS 短期内吃不下的。

AZ-900 考的不是命令行也不是 ARM 模板,而是"云是什么 / Azure 提供哪些服务 / 怎么计费和治理"这三件事。考纲三大领域权重:Cloud Concepts (25-30%)、Azure Architecture and Services (35-40%)、Azure Management and Governance (30-35%)。题型包括单选、多选、拖放和 case study,40-60 题、45 分钟答题时间、700/1000 通过。

这张证不会让一个完全没接触过 IT 的人立刻拿到云岗位 offer,但它能解决两个非常具体的问题:(1) 让 IT 销售、项目经理、市场人员、转行者看懂客户和同事在说什么;(2) 给打算考 AZ-104/AZ-204/AZ-305 的人铺一层概念地基,避免直接啃 Associate 级被术语淹没。微软合作伙伴企业还把 AZ-900 计入 Solutions Partner 等级要求的认证数,所以很多咨询/外包公司会让员工集体考。

  • 250+ practice questions with explanations
  • Two full mock exams for exam-day pacing
  • Clear beginner-friendly explanations without assuming prior Azure work
  • Permanent certification with no renewal requirement

1. 第一阶段:跑完 Microsoft Learn 官方学习路径(4-6 天)

直接去 learn.microsoft.com,搜 "AZ-900 learning path",里面有 3 个模块共约 10 小时的免费课程,由微软自己出,和考纲一一对应。这是全网最好的 AZ-900 资料,没有之一。重点过:云模式(IaaS/PaaS/SaaS)、责任共担模型、Region/AZ/Resource Group 的关系、Entra ID(原 Azure AD)、ARM、Cost Management、Azure Policy。这一步完成后你应该能自己解释 "为什么把虚机放在两个 AZ 里"。

2. 第二阶段:注册免费账户实际点一遍(2-3 天)

微软给新账户 $200 30 天试用额度。开一台 B1s VM、建一个存储账户、配一条 NSG 规则、看一眼 Cost Analysis 面板 —— 这些操作每个 5 分钟,但能把抽象概念变成肌肉记忆。考试有大量"哪个工具用来做什么"的题,亲手点过的人和只看视频的人正确率差 20% 以上。

3. 第三阶段:刷题 + 看错题解析(1 周)

至少做 200 道练习题,覆盖三大考试域。每道错题都要回去看官方文档对应的那一段,不要只记答案。AZ-900 题库变化不算快,但微软会在 case study 里换场景词,靠死记硬背很容易翻车。每天 50 题左右,错题第二天再做一遍。

4. 第四阶段:模考冲刺 + 预约考试(最后 3-5 天)

至少做 2-3 套全真模考(40-60 题,45 分钟),稳定 800/1000 以上再去考。低于 750 的话再补一周。考试可以选 Pearson VUE 线下或者 OnVUE 在线监考,新手强烈建议线下 —— OnVUE 对环境要求很严(桌面不能有任何东西、不能戴手表、要 360 度展示房间),紧张容易出问题。微软经常通过 Microsoft Virtual Training Days 活动发免费考试券,报名前先去官网搜一下,能省 $99。

Career value

先说真话:AZ-900 单独拿不会让你工资跳一级

社区和招聘数据反复验证一件事 —— AZ-900 是 Foundational 级别认证,对应的不是某个具体岗位,而是"具备 Azure 基础认知"的标签。mscertquiz 和 cbtnuggets 的薪资分析都指出:AZ-900 单证持有者的薪资增幅大约在 7-15%,主要体现在内部转岗、获得面试机会、或者从非云岗位进入云相关项目。真正的薪资跃升出现在 AZ-900 + AZ-104 组合或者 AZ-900 + 1-2 年 Azure 实操经验之后,澳洲市场上 Azure Administrator 岗位中位数能到 110k-130k AUD。

这张证最有价值的三类人:

  1. IT 销售 / Pre-sales / Customer Success:客户问 "我们要不要把 SQL Server 迁到 Azure SQL Database?" 你必须能立刻答出 "Managed Instance vs Single Database 的差别和定价模型"。AZ-900 给你的就是这套词汇表。微软自己的 Partner 体系也强制要求销售岗持证。
  2. 传统行业 IT / 银行保险 / 政府的转云人员:你公司用了 30 年 Windows Server + Active Directory + SQL Server,现在要上云 —— 99% 的概率上 Azure 而不是 AWS,因为 AD、Entra ID、Intune、M365 已经在那里。AZ-900 是你转向 Azure Admin 的第一台阶。
  3. 完全零基础的转行者 / 在校生:相比 CLF-C02,AZ-900 题目更直接、概念更简明,作为人生第一张 IT 证书心理负担小。考完再决定要不要继续走 Azure 路线,沉没成本只有 $99 + 2 周。

不适合考 AZ-900 的人:

  • 已经有 1+ 年 AWS 实操经验、想加薪的人:你的简历缺的是 AWS SAA/SAP 而不是 Azure 入门证,AZ-900 在这里几乎没有杠杆作用。
  • 想直接做 Azure DevOps / 架构师的工程师:跳过 AZ-900 直接冲 AZ-104(Administrator)或 AZ-204(Developer)效率更高,AZ-900 的内容会被这两张证完全覆盖。
  • 预算紧张只能考一张证、且目标是美国/澳洲创业公司技术岗:北美和澳洲创业生态偏 AWS,CLF-C02 + SAA-C03 路径在这种场景下投入产出比更高。

Preparation tips

  • **优先抢免费考试券**:每月微软都办 Microsoft Virtual Training Days,一天免费在线培训 + 完成后送 AZ-900 考试券,能省 $99。报名前先去 events.microsoft.com 搜 "AZ-900 Virtual Training Day"。
  • **ESL 加时**:母语非英语的考生可以申请 ESL Accommodation 多 30 分钟,AZ-900 原本只有 45 分钟答题时间,加完是 75 分钟,差别巨大。报名时在 Accommodation 选项里勾选。
  • **Case Study 留到最后做**:考试中后段有一个 case study(5-7 题围绕同一个场景),占用时间多。先把前面单选和多选刷完,剩下时间集中啃 case study,避免前面卡住后面没时间。
  • **关键词敏感**:看到 "lift and shift" 想到 IaaS / VM;看到 "fully managed" 想到 PaaS / App Service / SQL Database;看到 "ready to use software" 想到 SaaS / M365;看到 "consumption based" 想到 Functions / Logic Apps Serverless。
  • **多选题题目会告诉你选几个**:题目明确写 "Select 2" 或 "Select 3",按要求选,多选少选都算错。多选题在 AZ-900 里大约占 10-15%。
  • **线下考试优于在线**:OnVUE 在线监考对环境要求严苛(桌面清空、360 度展示房间、不能离开座位),新手紧张容易出问题,有 Pearson VUE 实体考点的城市优先选线下。

Common mistakes

  • **把 Azure AD 和 Active Directory 当成一回事** — Azure AD(现在叫 Entra ID)是云端身份服务,和本地 Windows Server 上的 AD DS 完全是两套东西。考试每次都考这个区别,混淆必错。
  • **搞不清 Region / Availability Zone / Region Pair 的层级** — Region 是地理区域,AZ 是 Region 内独立机房,Region Pair 是跨 Region 的灾备配对(比如 East US ↔ West US)。三个概念用在不同的高可用场景,必须分清。
  • **以为所有服务都按使用量计费** — Azure 有 Reserved Instance(1/3 年预付折扣最高 72%)、Spot VM(最高 90% 折扣但可被中断)、Hybrid Benefit(自带 Windows/SQL 许可省钱)。题目经常考"以下哪种最省钱",只知道按需付费就会选错。
  • **Azure Policy 和 RBAC 的职责分不清** — RBAC 控制"谁能操作什么资源",Policy 控制"什么样的资源被允许创建"(比如禁止在某个 region 开 VM、强制所有资源加 tag)。一个管人,一个管资源,考试爱混着考。
  • **忽略 Service Trust Portal、Trust Center、Service Health 这三个名字相似的工具** — 每次都有 1-2 题专挑这种细节,前两个是合规文档,最后一个是查 Azure 故障状态。提前背一下别考场愣住。

Before you register

What is the exam format and passing score for AZ-900?

The AZ-900 exam has 40-60 questions (multiple choice, multiple response, and drag-and-drop), with a 45-minute time limit (approximately 65 minutes including setup). The passing score is 700 out of 1000. The exam fee is $99 USD, available at Pearson VUE test centers or via online proctoring. The AZ-900 certification never expires — no renewal required.

Can non-technical professionals take the AZ-900 exam?

Absolutely. AZ-900 is the Azure entry-level certification, designed specifically for non-technical audiences. It suits sales, marketing, management professionals, and even students. The exam is conceptual, testing understanding of cloud computing and Azure services without requiring coding or CLI skills. Microsoft sometimes offers free exam vouchers through Microsoft Virtual Training Days events.

What are the key domains covered in AZ-900?

The exam covers three domains: Describe Cloud Concepts (25-30%), Describe Azure Architecture and Services (35-40%), and Describe Azure Management and Governance (30-35%). Key topics include IaaS/PaaS/SaaS differences, Azure regions and availability zones, Azure AD (Entra ID), Azure Resource Manager (ARM), and cost management tools.

How long does it take to prepare for AZ-900?

Candidates with IT background typically need 1-2 weeks, studying 1-2 hours per day. Complete beginners should plan 3-4 weeks. Azure offers free Microsoft Learn learning paths that work best when combined with practice questions. Consider signing up for an Azure free account ($200 credit) to experience services hands-on. AZ-900 is the easiest to pass among all Azure certifications.

What is the difference between AZ-900 and AZ-104? Which should I take first?

AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals) is foundational — it tests what Azure offers and what it can do, suitable for everyone. AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) is associate-level, testing how to manage and operate Azure resources with hands-on skills. AZ-104 covers CLI/PowerShell, network configuration, VM management, storage, and identity management. Start with AZ-900 for a broad understanding, then choose AZ-104 (operations), AZ-204 (development), or AZ-305 (architecture) based on your career path.

Does AZ-900 certification help with job hunting?

AZ-900 provides direct value for non-technical roles (IT sales, cloud consulting, project management) by demonstrating Azure cloud literacy. For technical roles, AZ-900 is the entry point into the Azure certification ecosystem, leading to more technical certifications like AZ-104/AZ-204. Microsoft partner companies typically require employees to hold a certain number of Azure certifications to maintain partnership tiers, and AZ-900 counts toward that requirement.

我是项目经理岗位被公司要求考的,原本以为很水。结果第一遍做模考只有 620。回头老老实实把 Microsoft Learn 过了一遍,重点把 Region / Availability Zone / Resource Group 这一组概念彻底搞清楚后,第二次模考就 820 了。最大教训是不要轻视基础概念课。

完全非技术背景,纯销售。最难的是 Entra ID、RBAC、Azure Policy 这一块的治理概念,因为日常工作完全不接触。建议非技术同学把 governance 这一章多看两遍,考试这部分占 30% 还专挑细节。免费考试券是真的有,我是参加 Virtual Training Days 拿到的。

Sydney IT Sales · 792/1000 · 3 weeks

我有 AWS CLF 的基础,AZ-900 真的就花了一周。两边概念 80% 重合,主要是学 Azure 的命名(VPC → VNet, IAM → Entra ID, S3 → Blob Storage, Lambda → Functions)。建议有 AWS 经验的人不要从头学,直接拿一份 AWS-Azure 服务对照表硬背 2 天,然后直接刷题。
