Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (Legacy) is an intermediate, role-based certification for administrators working with Microsoft Azure. Its listed exams are AZ-103, AZ-100, and AZ-101. The certification concerns expertise in implementing, managing, and monitoring an organization’s Azure environment. This version is no longer available. Holders are automatically granted the newer version, and both versions appear in their certification records. Only the newer version needs renewal; once the earlier version expires, it moves to the history section of the transcript. The listing was updated on December 1, 2023. It is provided by Microsoft and is associated with Azure. People reviewing this credential should distinguish its legacy status from the current version: it remains relevant to existing holders’ records, but it is not available as a version to pursue. The listed role is Administrator.
