Overview

The AZ-200: Microsoft Azure Developer Core Solutions and AZ-201: Microsoft Azure Developer Advanced Solutions, have now been retired by Microsoft. These two certification examinations have been replaced by AZ-203: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure, an examination that would help participants earn Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification. This course helps participants prepare for the AZ-203 examination. It discusses tasks and processes such as developing Azure infrastructure as a Service compute solutions, develop Azure Platform as a Service compute solutions, develop for Azure storage, implement Azure security, monitor, troubleshoot and optimize solutions; and connect to and consume Azure services and third-party services.
