Frequently asked questions

How much code reading is on AZ-204?

A lot. Questions show C# or Python snippets against the Azure SDKs, ARM templates and CLI commands, and ask what they do or why they fail. You choose and complete code rather than authoring it from nothing.

Which services carry the exam?

Functions, App Service, Container Apps, Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, Entra ID authentication, Key Vault, API Management, Event Grid and Service Bus. Compute plus the integration services cover more than half the scored content.

Note on domain weightings

Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges (for example 25 to 30 percent). The single figures shown here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current AZ-204 study guide.
