Microsoft Azure Network Engineer (AZ-700) training and exam prep - the job-role certification for designing and implementing Azure networking.
Group Enrollment with Friends or Colleagues |
Microsoft Azure Network Engineer (AZ-700) is Microsoft's job-role certification for designing and implementing Azure networking. It proves you can build and manage core networking (virtual networks and hybrid connectivity), design and implement routing and load balancing, secure and monitor networks, and design and implement private access to Azure services - using tools such as VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute, Azure Load Balancer, Application Gateway, Azure DNS, network security groups and Azure Firewall. The exam has about 40 to 60 questions and can include case studies. It is graded on a scaled score: you need 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000 to pass. Because scoring is weighted, 700 does not mean 70% of questions correct. The exam costs about US$165 (varies by region) and is delivered through Pearson VUE. There is no formal prerequisite, but Microsoft recommends networking experience and Azure administration knowledge.
Cloud networking is a high-demand, well-paid specialisation. AZ-700 proves you can design and run Azure networks, supports network engineer and cloud networking roles, and builds on AZ-104 toward Microsoft's expert architect certifications. As a job-role credential it carries real weight with employers - and Microsoft's free annual renewal keeps it current at no ongoing cost.
