The AI job boom is here. Are you ready to showcase your skills?
Hello, you can take exams in any order to earn a certification, as long as all of requirements are met. Good luck on your exams!
Sorry, I am still confused, and your answer does not cover.
1. Are the AZ-204 prerequisite requirements for AZ-400?
2. How many percentages will be changed in AI-200? Is the AI-200 curriculum completely fresh modules?
3. How many changes will be in AI-901 over AI-900?

We do not prescribe order. To earn the devOps cert, you must pass AI-200 OR AZ-204 AND AZ-400. Once we post the cert details page for AI-200, we will also inform you of the percentages of each functional group; because this is a different exam, commenting on the difference in the percentages doesn't make sense as they assess different skills. AI-200 will have different modules although some may be similar to AZ-204. You should think of this as a brand new exam that is related to but not the same as AZ-204.
AZ-901 is more than 33% different (which is my threshold for creating a new exam). It's likely a much higher percentage of difference because we are moving fundamentals to more entry level application vs knowledge focus that is the basis of AI-900 today. So, I would say this is completely different (or mostly)

Liberty, Did you mean AZ-901 or is that a typo?

Yes, it should be AI-901.
