Hello! In this new entry I’ll share details about the newest Azure Certification Exams which are currently in Beta, meaning that you can get a nice 80% discount on the price.

According to the Microsoft Learning Blog, three new role-based certifications have just been released (and there are more of them coming in the next months!). They are focused on Azure technology:

I’ve already talked about the first one here on my blog, so let’s discuss the other two.

1. Microsoft Certified Azure Developer

This certification is for you if you design and build cloud solutions, applications and services. Azure technologies such as storage, security, compute and app services should be familiar to you. You should pass two exams in order to achieve this certification:

However, if you have already passed the Exam 70-532 Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions, then you have to take the AZ-202: Microsoft Azure Developer Certification Transition (beta) exam instead.

Are you interested in taking any of these exams? Then use the following codes to receive an 80% discounted price!

For the AZ-200 exam, the code is AZ-200-GLAZING.
For the AZ-201 exam, the code is AZ-201-QUIVERY.
For the AZ-202 exam, the code is AZ-202-FJORDIC.

Important: These codes are limited. The first 300 people who use them will get the discount (300 people per code/exam), so if you are interested hurry up and use them when prompted for payment! Also important, you must take the exam no later than October 30, 2018.

2. Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect

This certification is for you if your expertise focuses on business requirements translations into secure, scalable and reliable cloud solutions. Moreover, you have experience on networking, virtualization, security, disaster recovery, and data management, among other Azure technologies. You should pass two exams in order to achieve this certification:

AZ-300: Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies (beta)
AZ-301: Microsoft Azure Architect Design (beta)

However, if you have already passed the Exam 70-535 Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions, then you have to take the AZ-302: Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Certification Transition (beta) exam instead.
