AZ-204: Consuming Azure and Third-party Services Competency 2023 (Intermediate Level)

  • 30m
  • 30 questions
The Consuming Azure and Third-party Services Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark assesses your recognition of how to manage and secure APIs using the Azure API Management service, API gateways, Azure Functions integration, and Azure Active Directory. You will be evaluated on your skills in working with Azure Event Grid and building highly scalable and reliable messaging-based solutions using a variety of tools and techniques, including Azure Service Bus and Queue Storage, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Power Automate, and Azure Stream Analytics. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to implement the Azure API Management service and develop event-based and message-based solutions.
