Azure Developer Training after AZ-204's Retirement

On July 31, 2026, Microsoft retired AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure—the standard Azure developer certification since 2020. The replacement, AI-200, focuses on AI infrastructure but drops critical topics: App Service, Blob Storage, API Management, and Microsoft Graph.
