Microsoft certification exams have been "role-based" for some time now. Which means that in Azure we have various exams very specific to the current skillset/job of an IT professional, like, Developer, Cloud Architects, AI/ML Practitioner, DBA etc.
There is a total of 20 Azure Certs and deciding which one is the best for you is kinda difficult without all the important information.
In this video, I have categorized the certifications/exams into different section based on complexity (Fundamentals, Associate, Expert) and specialization (Database, IoT, ML, SAP and more).
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, and I hope you find this to be helpful.
