MicrosoftI found this article really helpful—thank you for sharing these updates. I also noticed that I’m holding four certifications that are now listed as retired, and interestingly, my AZ‑500, which I took just one week ago, is also on the retirement list.
Is there any official link where we can check the lifecycle or validity period of Microsoft certifications? It would be really useful to know in advance when a certification is close to retirement, so we can avoid spending time preparing for exams that are about to be replaced.
Honestly, it’s quite exhausting to see a newly earned certification retiring so soon. Having clearer visibility on the certification lifespan would definitely help with planning our learning path.
Thanks again for the update—appreciate any guidance or links on this.
