MicrosoftThanks for this! One QQ: for people with AZ-204 and AZ-305, do they need to take AI-200 to keep AZ-305?
A bit sad that I just passed AZ-204 and AI-102 last month... but don't worry. the knowledge is in my head :)
Isn't AZ-104 a prerequisite for Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) instead of AZ-204?
MicrosoftYes, it is. But the principle still applies... you renew certs through the cert renewal process not by retaking exams (although you can if you want--but that's your choice not a MS requirement).
MicrosoftYes yes... so I guess my question should be more generic.. If A is the prerequisite of B, and A is retiring to C, so for people that already clearred A and B, do they need to take C (after A retires) in order to keep B valid?
Yes. I think you have to retake C in that case. If I understand this answer correctly:

There is a difference between a certification retiring and being replaced as covered by that answer, and an exam being replaced that qualifies for another certification that is not being replaced
Generic answer, No
There is an option of either AZ-204 or AZ-104 as prerequisites.
I only see Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate as e prerequisites on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/azure-solutions-architect/. Which is AZ-104 I belief.
You're right! Sorry, was thinking of AZ-400!
