Everything you need to know about AZ-400 Exam

AZ-400, Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions, is the Expert-level exam for the Azure DevOps Engineer Expert certification, focused on combining people, process, and technology to deliver value continuously.

What the Exam Covers

  • Designing and implementing processes for source control and collaboration
  • Designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions
  • Implementing dependency management and application infrastructure strategies
  • Designing and implementing security and compliance in the DevOps lifecycle
  • Implementing an instrumentation strategy for monitoring and feedback

Prerequisites

  • Candidates must already hold either the Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) or Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204) certification before earning this Expert-level credential
  • Strong practical experience with both development and operations practices is expected

Who Should Pursue AZ-400

  • DevOps engineers responsible for CI/CD pipeline design and implementation
  • Developers or administrators moving into a dedicated DevOps role
  • Professionals aiming for senior technical leadership positions in engineering teams
Because AZ-400 sits at the intersection of development and operations, hands-on experience building real CI/CD pipelines is essential — theory alone rarely covers the scenario-based questions on this exam.
