Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate Exam Domains and Weightage

The AZ-104 exam is split into five domains, and each one carries a different weight toward your score. Here is how the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate exam divides its questions.

Domain 1: Manage Azure Identities and Governance (20–25%). 
Control who accesses what: RBAC, Entra ID, Azure Policy, and Management Groups.

Domain 2: Implement and Manage Storage (15–20%). 
Configure storage accounts, set access controls, manage blob tiers, and automate lifecycle policies.

Domain 3: Deploy and Manage Azure Compute Resources (20–25%). 
Deploy virtual machines, configure scale sets, and provision infrastructure using ARM templates and Bicep.

Domain 4: Implement and Manage Virtual Networking (15–20%). 
Build VNets, configure NSGs, set up load balancers, DNS zones, and Private Endpoints.

Domain 5: Monitor and Maintain Azure Resources (10–15%). 
Set up Azure Monitor alerts, query Log Analytics, configure backup vaults, and plan disaster recovery.

Every question on the AZ-104 exam maps back to one of these five domains, so the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate exam rewards depth across all of them rather than mastery of just one.

How to Prepare for the AZ-104 Exam?

This course follows a clear path to the AZ-104 exam, so you never have to guess what to study next. For a week-by-week plan, read our AZ-104 study guide.

Start with the video lectures to learn each domain, then use the 164 hands-on labs to build on real Azure infrastructure. Our guide to Azure Administrator hands-on labs shows which labs map to each exam domain.

Keep the AZ-104 cheat sheet open to cross-check RBAC, networking and storage commands. If networking is your weak area, start with AZ-104 networking concepts explained for beginners. Each practice test mirrors the real exam with scenario-based questions and explains every answer, so a wrong pick becomes a lesson, not a lost mark.

Not sure where you stand yet? Try our free AZ-104 sample questions first. When your timed practice test scores stay consistently strong, book the exam; you'll sit it already knowing how these scenarios feel.

The AZ-104 practice test set updates as Microsoft revises the exam blueprint, and the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate course keeps the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate practice test current alongside it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The AZ-104 certification does not require a technical degree. If you have basic IT familiarity and follow the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate course at Whizlabs, which includes structured videos, hands-on labs, and the AZ-104 practice tests, you can build the skills needed to pass the AZ-104 exam and move into an Azure Administrator role.

No. Whizlabs does not sell Microsoft AZ-104 exam vouchers. You schedule and pay for the exam through Microsoft Learn with Pearson VUE. Whizlabs provides the preparation: practice tests, videos, labs and a cloud sandbox.

Yes. The AZ-104 Hands-on Labs product includes 164 guided labs that run in a temporary Azure environment, so you don't need your own Azure subscription. The labs can be bought on their own or together with the practice tests and video course.

AZ-104 is an intermediate certification with no required prerequisite, so beginners can take it, but it is easier with basic IT knowledge. If you are new to cloud, start with AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals, then use the AZ-104 study guide, practice tests and hands-on labs.

Follow this four-step path: (1) Complete the AZ-104 course videos. (2) Practice each domain with the 164 hands-on Azure labs. (3) Work through the AZ-104 practice tests and read every explanation. (4) Take a full timed practice test. When you score consistently well on timed full-length tests, you're ready to book the AZ-104 exam, which requires a score of 700 or greater out of 1000.

The AZ-104 exam costs USD 165 in the United States. Microsoft sets the price by country or region, so check the current price when you schedule the exam on Microsoft Learn. The exam fee is not included in the Whizlabs course price.

AZ-104 is an intermediate-level, scenario-based exam that tests judgment rather than memorisation. You have 100 minutes and need a score of 700 or greater to pass. Candidates who practise hands-on, especially networking and identity, are better prepared than those who only study concepts.
