[b]Requirements[/b]

Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) or Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204): It is recommended that you have either of these certifications, as they provide a strong foundation in Azure, which is essential for the AZ-400 exam.

Hands-on Experience: At least 1-2 years of experience working with Azure DevOps or similar tools is recommended. This includes familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, source control, build and release management, and infrastructure as code (IaC).

Development Skills: Understanding basic programming or scripting is helpful. Knowledge of languages like PowerShell, Bash, or any other scripting language is a plus.

IT Operations: Familiarity with IT operations, system administration, and infrastructure management is crucial, as DevOps blends these disciplines.

Agile Methodologies: Knowledge of Agile and Scrum methodologies is beneficial, as DevOps often works in conjunction with Agile frameworks.

Core Azure Services: You should be comfortable working with key Azure services such as Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure App Services, and Azure Monitor.

Source Control Systems: Experience with Git or similar version control systems is necessary, as it is integral to managing code and configurations in DevOps workflows.

Networking Fundamentals: A basic understanding of networking concepts like DNS, TCP/IP, VPNs, and firewalls.

Security Practices: Familiarity with security best practices in cloud environments.
