Frequently asked questions
How does AZ-305 differ from AZ-104?
AZ-104 configures; AZ-305 recommends. Questions describe requirements and constraints and ask which design you would propose: which storage tier, which identity topology, which failover approach. You are marked as an architect, not an operator.
Does AZ-305 alone grant the Expert certification?
No. The Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification requires passing AZ-305 and holding the Azure Administrator Associate certification from AZ-104, so the two exams together earn the credential.
Note on domain weightings
Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges. The figures here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current AZ-305 study guide.
