Overview
With the huge boom in demand for cloud computing services, the demand for Microsoft-certified cloud administrators has also shot up. The worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow by a whopping 20.4% in 2022, with the market reaching $494.7 billion, up from $410.9 billion in 2021, according to the most recent forecasts by Gartner. According to the same predictions, in 2023, the end-user spending on the cloud would reach nearly $600 billion. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is forecast to experience the highest end-user spending growth in 2022 at 30.6%, followed by Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) at 26.6% and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) at 26.1%.
The best way individuals can make the most of this immense demand for the cloud is to sharpen and validate their skills with an official Microsoft certification. One of the most popular Microsoft certification courses in the AZ104: is Microsoft Azure Administrator. Candidates for this Microsoft Azure Certification should have subject matter expertise in implementing, managing and monitoring an organization’s Microsoft Azure environment. An individual who has the Azure 104 certification would ideally be responsible for implementing, managing, and monitoring identity, governance, storage, compute, and virtual networks in a cloud environment, plus provision size, monitoring, and adjusting resources when needed. An AZ-104 Azure certified administrator would usually be a part of a larger team that would be dedicated to implementing an organization’s cloud infrastructure.
Cognixia’s live instructor-led online Microsoft Azure AZ104 training & certification covers the official Microsoft exam outline spanning the five domains of this Microsoft Azure certification, viz. Manage Azure identities and governance, Implement and manage storage, Deploy and manage Azure compute resources, Configure and manage virtual networking, and Monitor and backup Azure resources. As an official training partner for Microsoft, Cognixia offers the authorized AZ104: Microsoft Azure Administrator training in a live, online, instructor-led modality with all the official recommended labs per Microsoft guidelines.
