Expert take: what DP-100 really tests
DP-100 is a hands-on Azure Machine Learning exam, and it assumes you can actually work in the platform — setting up a workspace, running experiments, and deploying models with the SDK and MLflow. Its heaviest domain is setting up and managing the Azure ML workspace (30–35%), and responsible ML (fairness, explainability, monitoring) is now a genuine part of the exam, not an afterthought.
Preparation tips
- Get hands-on in Azure Machine Learning — workspace, experiments and deployments.
- Learn the SDK and MLflow workflows, which the exam leans on.
- Study responsible ML (fairness, explainability, monitoring) as a real domain.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Knowing ML theory but not the Azure ML platform specifics the exam tests.
- Skipping the deploy/operationalise and responsible-ML domains.
