IT认证，是IT技术从业者必不可少的一个敲门砖，有了它让甲方、乙方以及原厂对你有了基本的了解，能够初步预判您是否胜任这一工作岗位。例如，大家耳熟能详的Microsoft MCSE，RedHat RHCE，VMware VCP、CISSP、CIW等一系列认证。
今天我们主要讲讲微软全新的云计算认证体系。
首先看看微软现在都有哪些认证：

怎么样，是不是已经晕了？反正我是晕了，通过分析您会发现其实这么多认证都是基于某一项技能来的。但是在微软提出的”云（Azure、Office 365、Dynamics 365）+端（Windows 10、Surface）”的战略下，这种认证体系已经不能满足需求了。因此，对其进行了全部调整。微软为了能够更好的体现云时代认证，优先针对自家的云产品认证做出了修改，推出基于角色的认证体系。
以下以Microsoft Azure和Microsoft Office 365为例。
Office 365以前只有MCSA，拿到MCSA：Office 365只需要通过两门考试即可：
- 70-346：Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements
- 70-347：Enabling Office 365 Services
具体调整如下：
- Microsoft 365 Certified：Modern Desktop Administrator Associate
- Microsoft 365 Certified：Enterprise Administrator Expert
整个Microsoft Unified Communications认证路线未来调整如下
原有的MCSA/MCSE：Microsoft Azure考试体系由
- 70-532：Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions
- 70-533：Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions
- 70-535：Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions
调整并修改为如下：
Azure Administrator Associate
- AZ-100: Microsoft Azure Infrastructure and Deployment
- AZ-101: Microsoft Azure Integration and Security
- AZ-102: Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition【可以理解为以前的Renew】
Azure Developer Associate
- AZ-200: Microsoft Azure Developer Core Solutions
- AZ-201: Microsoft Azure Developer Advanced Solutions
- AZ-202: Microsoft Azure Developer Certification Transition 【可以理解为以前的Renew】
- AZ-203: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure
Azure Solutions Architect Expert
- AZ-300：Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies
- AZ-301：Microsoft Azure Architect Design
- AZ-302：Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Certification Transition【可以理解为以前的Renew】
Azure DevOps Engineer Expert
- AZ-400: Microsoft Azure DevOps Solutions
如果您之前已经考试并通过了70-532/533/535等考试，您在2019.6.30之前通过Renew即可进行升级。
需要注意的，早期的Azure架构师考试代码为70-534，不在升级考试范围内。需要重新进行AZ300/AZ301考试。
现阶段已经修改并正式推出的认证有
新的考试体系我们已经了解了，还需要了解的是即将或者已经退役的微软认证考试。
