As a result, MSCE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure was\nretired and split into four different certifications, three that focus on the\nAzure Administrator, Developer and Solutions Architect roles, and the MSCE:\nCore Infrastructure, which is closer aligned to the on-premises focus of MSCE:\nServer Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
