This intermediate-level Server Hybrid Administrator Associate training prepares systems administrators to take the AZ-800 and AZ-801 exams, which are the two exams required to earn the Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification.
The AZ-800 is the first half of Microsoft's overall Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate. The AZ-800 is the exam someone should take if they're focused on administering servers and workloads that run on Windows Server, whether on-premises or in hybrid environments.
Even for an administrator who isn't planning on earning the whole certification, the AZ-800 is a good intermediate-level exam for testing familiarity with managing operations on Windows Servers — on-prem or hybrid.
For IT managers, this Microsoft training can be used for AZ-800 and AZ-801 exam prep, onboarding new systems administrators, individual or team training plans, or as a Microsoft reference resource.
