Requirements / Prerequisites
- Foundational Windows Server Knowledge: A solid understanding of core Windows Server roles and features (e.g., Active Directory Domain Services, DNS, DHCP, file and print services) in an on-premises environment is essential.
- Basic Azure Fundamentals: Familiarity with fundamental Azure concepts, including Azure Virtual Machines, Azure networking (VNets), Azure Storage, and Azure Active Directory, is highly recommended. While not strictly mandatory to *take* the tests, a conceptual grasp of these services is crucial for success.
- Conceptual Understanding of Hybrid Environments: An awareness of what constitutes a hybrid environment and the basic principles of connecting on-premises infrastructure to cloud services.
- PowerShell / Command-Line Interface (CLI) Familiarity: Basic scripting or command-line experience with PowerShell or Azure CLI will be beneficial, as many hybrid management tasks involve these tools.
- Self-Study Discipline: This course provides practice tests, not instructional content. Candidates should have already completed primary study materials (e.g., Microsoft Learn paths, official courseware, or equivalent experience) for the AZ-801 exam.
- No Formal Certifications Required: While no prior certifications are strictly required, candidates who have obtained or are pursuing certifications like AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals or AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator may find the transition smoother due to overlapping foundational concepts.
