About this class

Azure Solutions Architect moves from operating and building on Azure to designing complete solutions. You learn to translate business requirements into architectures that balance security, resilience, performance and cost.

You practise choosing between services, designing identity and governance, planning data, compute and network layouts, and justifying trade-offs.

Who it's for: Experienced administrators, developers and engineers who want to design Azure architectures and lead technical decisions.

Prerequisites: Solid Azure experience, typically at Associate level (for example AZ-104 or AZ-204). Confirm current prerequisites for the Expert certification on Microsoft's site.
