Who should take the AZ-305?
AZ-305 is a professional-level certification for experienced practitioners. It tests design judgment across complex, multi-service scenarios — not recall.
You lead design decisions
You're the person who chooses between architectures. AZ-305 validates that judgment against Microsoft Azure's own bar.
You have years of hands-on work
Professional-level exams reward breadth and battle scars. If you've operated production systems on Microsoft Azure, this is the credential that says so.
You hold associate certs
The step up from associate level: longer scenarios, more trade-offs, and the most senior individual credential Microsoft Azure offers.
What’s on the AZ-305 exam
Every lesson, question, and mock is weighted to match these official domains.
Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions
Designing logging and monitoring (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, log routing), authentication, identity management and authorization for Azure and on-premises resources, secrets, certificates and keys, and governance: management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, tagging, compliance and identity governance. Official weighting 25–30%.
Design data storage solutions
Choosing and sizing relational data stores (service and compute tiers, scalability, protection), semi-structured and unstructured storage that balances features, performance and cost, and data integration and analysis solutions. Official weighting 20–25%.
Design business continuity solutions
Designing backup and disaster recovery that meet recovery objectives for Azure and hybrid workloads, compute, databases and unstructured data, and high availability for compute, relational data and semi-structured and unstructured data. Official weighting 15–20%.
Design infrastructure solutions
Designing compute (VMs, containers, serverless, batch), application architecture (messaging, events, APIs, caching, configuration, automated deployment), migrations with the Cloud Adoption Framework, and network connectivity, performance, security, load balancing and routing. Official weighting 30–35%.
