AI-900: Exam Resources
Audience Profile for the Exam
Candidates for this exam should have foundational knowledge of cloud services and how those services are
provided with Microsoft Azure. The exam is intended for candidates who are just beginning to work with
cloud-based solutions and services or are new to Azure.
Azure Fundamentals exam is an opportunity to prove knowledge of cloud concepts, Azure services, Azure
workloads, security and privacy in Azure, as well as Azure pricing and support.
Candidates should be familiar with the general technology concepts, including concepts of networking,
storage, compute, application support, and application development.
Azure Fundamentals can be used to prepare for other Azure role-based or specialty certifications, but it is not
a prerequisite for any of them.
