AZ-104 Exam Scope and the Azure Administrator Role

This lesson orients you to the AZ-104 exam and the real Azure Administrator role it measures. You will map the certification objective areas to day-to-day administrator responsibilities: identity and governance, storage, compute, networking, monitoring, backup, and recovery.

You will also learn how to use the exam scope strategically. The goal is not to memorize a list of Azure services, but to understand what an administrator must be able to configure, interpret, troubleshoot, and maintain in a working Azure environment.
