The Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) is an entry-level Microsoft certification that assesses your basic understanding of cloud computing concepts and Microsoft Azure services.

The difficulty depends on your experience with cloud technologies and Azure. It's designed for beginners, including non-technical professionals, but a good study plan is recommended to succeed.

With good preparation, the AZ-900 is considered easier than other IT certifications. However, it's still an IT exam and can be challenging if you're new to the cloud.  

The exam typically costs USD 99, but the price can vary depending on your location.

You need a score of 700 on a scale of 1 to 1,000 to pass. This doesn't necessarily translate to 70% as it considers the difficulty of questions and required knowledge.

No, the Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals certification you earn by passing the AZ-900 has no expiration date.
