The last Friday, I passed the Microsoft exam AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions. For the first time, due to the global pandemic, I have taken the exam using OnVUE’s online proctored exam mode, and I must say it is a very convenient alternative.

This exam, in my opinion, is complex due to the knowledge that must be had of all the technologies involved. If you plan to take that exam, please note that in this exam, you will need to demonstrate your knowledge and skills to implement and design DevOps practices for version control, compliance, infrastructure as code, configuration management, build, release, and testing by using Azure technologies.

Here is a list of the skills and objectives measured on this exam:>
