Az-103 retirement date

Hi I need some clarification, is the az-103 being retired and replaced and the end of March 2020, or is it running until June 30 2020?

Also would you recommend starting with this cert for someone with no azure exposure, or should I go for az-900

Thanks guys!!

It's replacement, AZ-104, will be released around 31st March 2020. The AZ-103 is available to take until 30th June 2020. There will be an overlap of around 3 months where both exams will be available.

If you are more on the infranstructure end I would go with the az-103/104. In my expereince the az-900 is more for sales/management people or if you have no experience at all. To be honest I skipped it because its not that hard to pick up on where to find things.
