Expert take: what Azure DevOps Engineer really tests
AZ-400 is an expert-level DevOps exam, and it carries the same gotcha as the other Azure Expert credentials: passing AZ-400 alone does not earn the DevOps Engineer Expert title — you must also hold AZ-104 or AZ-204. Beyond that, it is a practitioner exam that rewards having actually built CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code, not just read about source control and release strategies.
Preparation tips
- Confirm you hold AZ-104 or AZ-204 — one is required to earn the credential.
- Build real pipelines (Azure Pipelines / GitHub Actions) and IaC before the exam.
- Cover the full lifecycle — source control, CI/CD, security, and monitoring/feedback.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a passed AZ-400 alone grants the certification — the base-cert requirement is easy to miss.
- Studying DevOps theory without hands-on pipeline and infrastructure-as-code practice.
