FAQs
Microsoft AZ-400 is designed for:
• DevOps Engineers: Professionals managing automation, infrastructure, and cloud services
• Software Developers & Engineers: Those integrating CI/CD, source control, and automated workflows
• System Administrators & IT Operations Professionals: Individuals handling deployments and infrastructure automation
• Cloud Architects: Experts designing and maintaining Azure-based DevOps solutions
• Site Reliability Engineers (SREs): Professionals ensuring system reliability and automation
This exam is considered moderately to highly challenging, especially for learners without hands-on experience in Azure DevOps and Azure Administration. The exam focuses on implementing DevOps practices using Microsoft Azure services, so it requires a solid understanding of DevOps methodologies, Azure services, and hands-on experience with automation, infrastructure as code (IaC), continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and monitoring.

Why train with anyone else?
Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible.
Firebrand's courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
