FAQs

What is the difference between AWS and Azure?

AWS is market leader with a broader offering. Azure excels in integration with the Microsoft ecosystem (Office 365, Active Directory, Teams). If your company already uses Microsoft, Azure offers superior native integration. Both are solid choices.

How much does the AZ-104 Azure Administrator exam cost?

The AZ-104 exam costs 165 USD (~155€). It includes 40-60 questions over 180 minutes, including hands-on labs. The passing score is 700/1000. Microsoft regularly offers free vouchers at events.

Is Azure suitable for small businesses?

Yes, Azure offers SMB-friendly options with Azure Free (€200 credit for 30 days) and pay-as-you-go pricing. Services like App Services, SQL Database and Functions allow starting at low cost. Integration with Microsoft 365 simplifies management for SMBs.

Which Azure certifications are most in demand?

Most in demand are: AZ-104 (Administrator) for ops, AZ-204 (Developer) for devs, AZ-500 (Security Engineer) for security, and AZ-305 (Solutions Architect) for architects. Our training prepares for AZ-104, the most versatile certification.
