Azure IoT Developer Specialty Certification

Hear more about the new Microsoft Certified: Azure IoT Developer Specialty and resources to learn how to build IoT solutions with Azure IoT. Visit aka.ms/AzureCerts_IoTDev to learn more about the Azure IoT Developer Specialty.
Are you a developer implementing, coding or maintaining cloud or edge components of IoT solutions? Is part of your job to manage devices life cycle - set up, configuration, and maintenance - using cloud services? Do you design IoT solutions including device topology, connectivity, debugging, and security? Do you implement solutions to manage, monitor, and transform data related to IoT? If these job responsibilities sound familiar, I have a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills and be recognized for them: Take AZ-220 exam: Microsoft Azure IoT Developer.

I have been through the entire curriculum of AZ-220. It is very comprehensive and gives 1000 feet view of what Azure services are needed to build a IoT. Looking forward to my certification now😃

Did you got? How was that?

Did you got certificate? Share some experience

[@noealves8400]

I got really excited about this. Will try to get certified! Thanks folks.

I think even seasoned firmware engineers should take this, the wait for the Microsoft RTOS will eventually integrate with all Azure covered.

[@pamela4947]

Agreed that a firmware engineer would get a lot of value on taking the certification. Cert covers SDKs, D2C messages, Device Provisioning Services, and etc. These services you are working on the device side. You don't need to understand all the ends and outs on the device side, but I still think there is value in taking the exam. Azure RTOS has a lot of different components, so I can imagine it eithers needs to be another exam or something different, since this certification is already covering so much. Love to hear your feedback!

@@pamela4947 Hi Pamela Totally agree, I evaluated FreeRTOS, now looking at the AzureRTOS last night for my IoT node project. My project uses an STM32 ARM micro-controller. I think engineers again (seasoned) will use services more and more as we progress into the future and stop the "reinvention of the wheel", now that Azure RTOS has landed the firmware engineering community will be able to focus on higher level business domain problems and leave the Protocols, Security, Provisioning, Networking services to Microsoft Azure. I also agree, Azure RTOS will need a separate examination in own right, as this deals with low level chip service mechanics like ARM CMISS, Edge Machine Learning, Drivers and all the machine love that makes silicon chips tick. Lastly, I think as Azure RTOS matures its ISO safety and security standards already present on the Azure Services will cut all the way down to the RTOS level offering itself up as full ISO Standards turn key offering.

What I really have to kindly criticize is that you don't link all the required documentation to the learning path. Just solving the learning path and reading linked documentation is far away from what is actually required for answering the questions. Would be fair if you provide all necessary documentation.

The online information says: “Azure IoT” certification is retired?

[@aniruthravula8763]

Can someone say a person with basic IoT knowledge is good enough to take this?

[@krishnarajs.poojary4615]

is this exam contains case studies? and how many questions will be there?

[@tanmaysharma9442]

Hey Krishna, yes there are case studies in the exam. For me, i got 2 case studies and 5-6 minimum questions for each case study.

[@subhashtd]

But AZ 220 exam is not free! You are not giving anything free!

[@pamela4947]

Hi Subhash! You are right, the exam isn't free. :) The training content on MS Learn is available online for free. Most MS Learn modules are in sandbox environment while taking the training, so you don't have to have an Azure Subscription to learn. Hope that clarifies on any free comment and yes to the fee for the exam. Thanks! :)

I dont know why you mislead people with such, certifications, This just gives you a exposure to an IOT platform - 80% the IOT, core technologies, protocols, IOT architecture, network concepts, sensor technologies - to be precise nothing is tested through such certifications. at least please use the word Azure IOT PLATFORM certification. which is just a small part of the whole game- disappointing really
