Professionals who want to be a Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect which is an expert level certification, need to pass two exams strictly and they are:
- AZ-300 (Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies)
- AZ-301 (Microsoft Azure Architect Design)
AZ-300 focuses mainly on the current Azure technologies while AZ-301 focuses on the technical design aspects. AZ-301 is much difficult when compared with AZ-300 as the former exam requires profound knowledge on IT architecture and the latter exam just focuses on deploying and configuring infrastructure, implementing workloads and security, creating and developing apps, developing for Azure, etc.
So, once you clear these two exams you are offered expert level Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect certification.
I recommend you to join Azure Architect certification from Intellipaat, which is created by collaborating with Microsoft. This training will help you in acing both exams to acquire this expert-level certification. This training also provides 56hrs of project work which greatly enhances your hands-on experience which is a must for obtaining this certification.
