What is Azure Administrator Associate?

The Azure Administrator Associate certification validates skills in implementing, managing, and monitoring an organization's Microsoft Azure environment. Azure Administrators commonly handle tasks such as managing Azure identities and governance, implementing and managing storage, deploying and managing Azure compute resources, configuring and managing virtual networks, and monitoring and backing up Azure resources. This certification is typically pursued by individuals who manage cloud services that span compute, storage, networking, and security. They have a deep understanding of the full IT lifecycle, take requests for infrastructure services, applications, and operating environments, and make recommendations on services to use for optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, size, monitor, and adjust resources as appropriate.
