AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)
Cloud concepts in general and Azure in particular: the shared responsibility model, service types, the region and resource hierarchy, core compute, networking and storage services, and the governance and cost tooling around them.
Exam domains
What the exam covers and how much each part counts — the provider publishes ranges, shown as published. Select a domain to practise just that area.
| Domain | Weight | Practice questions |
|---|---|---|
| Describe cloud conceptsCloud computing, the shared responsibility model, public, private and hybrid models, consumption-based pricing, and the IaaS, PaaS and SaaS service types. | 25–30% | 2 |
| Describe Azure architecture and servicesRegions, availability zones, the resource hierarchy, and the core compute, networking, storage, identity and security services. | 35–40% | 3 |
| Describe Azure management and governanceCost management, governance and compliance tooling, the ways resources are deployed and managed, and the monitoring services. | 30–35% | 3 |
Topics you can drill

Preparing for AZ-900 with SupportExams
Practise, see where your evidence is thin, fix it, and reassess — until readiness across the 3 domains above says you are ready to book.
Practice available
- Quick practiceTen mixed questions across the exam. A short daily session, with the explanation after each one.
- Custom practiceChoose a domain, a topic, a difficulty and a length.
- Readiness assessmentBalanced across every domain of the blueprint, favouring questions you have not seen. Builds the evidence readiness needs.
- Weak areasProLeads with the concepts you keep missing, then weights toward the domains you are losing marks in.
- Review mistakesProSpaced review of every question you have missed. Each comes back after 0, 1, 3 and 7 days and clears only after four correct answers in a row.
- Exam simulationProFull length, timed, and proportioned to the published blueprint. Original practice questions, not real exam items.
How readiness works
Every answer is evidence for one of the AZ-900 domains. Readiness weighs that evidence by the domain’s share of the exam, by difficulty and by how recent it is, and refuses to give a figure until there is enough of it. It moves you through five stages — Getting started, Building evidence, Making progress, Nearly ready, Ready — and names what is holding you back at each one.
How readiness is calculated →Free and Pro
Free: 20 practice questions a day; full explanations, including why each wrong option is wrong; quick practice, custom practice and readiness assessments; current readiness stage, blueprint coverage and next step.
Pro: unlimited practice questions; timed exam simulations, proportioned to the blueprint; weak-area practice and mistake review; your readiness journey over time — for every certification, one subscription.
Questions people ask
How many practice questions do you have for AZ-900?
8 published questions, written against the current AZ-900 exam guide and reviewed before publication. The bank grows one reviewed batch at a time.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Every question is original work written from the provider’s published exam guide and public documentation. Reproducing real exam questions would breach the provider’s NDA, is worthless for learning, and can cost a candidate their certification.
Which version of the AZ-900 exam is this for?
Questions are written against Microsoft Azure’s published exam guide for AZ-900 (Skills measured as of 20 July 2026), last checked against the source on 2026-09-11. When a provider revises an exam, the new version is tracked separately so existing practice is never silently relabelled.
Does a good score here mean I will pass?
A SupportExams practice score is not an official exam result and does not use the provider’s scoring model. It measures how you performed on the questions in this product. Readiness is not a probability of passing; it summarises how much of the blueprint you have evidenced and how well.
What can I do for free?
20 questions a day with full explanations, quick and custom practice, readiness assessments, and your current readiness stage with a recommended next step. No card is needed. Pro adds unlimited practice, timed exam simulations, weak-area practice, mistake review and your readiness journey over time, across every certification for one price.
What is the passing score for AZ-900?
Microsoft Azure states the passing standard as 700 or greater. Our practice percentages are not on that scale and are not comparable to it.
