What is the Azure Developer Associate certification?

 

Azure developers design and build cloud solutions such as applications and services. They participate in all phases of development, from solution design, to development and deployment, to testing and maintenance. They partner with cloud solution architects, cloud DBAs, cloud administrators, and clients to implement the solution.

The Microsoft Azure Developer Associate certification is role-based and is designed to expand Azure development skills to meet future business needs. One exam is required to attain this certification: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure.
