Microsoft Azure Administrator

IT leaders often cite AZ-104 when documenting that the people who manage Azure identities, role assignments, storage access, and network configuration have validated administration skills. CBT Nuggets team reporting supports that record with per-learner progress, completion tracking, and completion exports for audit evidence. The auditor's control crosswalk determines how the credential maps formally to the framework the organization follows.

AZ-104 fits the cloud administrators, systems administrators, and infrastructure engineers who run the organization's Azure subscriptions day to day. Based on the linked course lessons, a certified team can own Azure AD roles and access, storage account administration, virtual machine deployment, and virtual network design across regions and zones. The same lessons also cover App Services, containerized workloads in Container Apps, and repeatable deployments with ARM templates and Bicep, scripted through PowerShell and Azure CLI.

CBT Nuggets Microsoft Azure Administrator courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Microsoft's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

From the admin console, managers assign the Microsoft Azure Administrator courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

The linked CBT Nuggets training totals about 17 hours of video, which gives a Training Manager a fixed baseline for planning assignments. The time it takes a team to certify depends on its starting point, including how much hands-on Azure administration each engineer already does and how much time each person can give the training.

CBT Nuggets updates Microsoft course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Microsoft restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
