This is now the third exam that’s released for Microsoft Azure. Based on the Skills measured, it is an exam that does not test you on how, but why you would do something.
The exam homepage is located at https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam-70-534.aspx.
Please note that the Microsoft Cloud is constantly changing and improving, so some of this content may be outdated or points to websites that no longer exists. Therefore, make sure to check the official exam home page to get up to speed before taking the exam. I’m trying to keep these lists updated, but please send me an email with any missing content 🙂
This exam is divided into six main categories, but as always, the topics described in this page or at the Microsoft Learning home page do not limit the questions you can be asked at the exam. The Exam is also a beta exam, that means that it most likely will change soon. Therefor, remember to check the Official page before entering the exam.
