AB-620 study guide
AB-620 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
AB-620 is a professional certification exam focused on building and operating AI solutions on a modern cloud platform. It suits developers, solution architects, and technical consultants who design agents, connect them to real data and services, and then keep them reliable in production. The exam is organized around five domains: planning and designing AI solutions, building and configuring agents and workflows, integrating with data and services, testing and monitoring, and securing, governing, and deploying. Expect scenario-driven questions rather than pure recall: you are given a business constraint or a failing behavior and asked to choose the most appropriate design or remediation. The AB-620 study guide has 5 sections and about 1,484 words.
01Plan and Design AI Solutions
Start every design from the business outcome, not the model. A defensible plan names the user, the decision or task being assisted, the success metric, and the failure cost.
302 words, about 2 min02Build and Configure AI Agents and Workflows
An agent is a model plus instructions, tools, memory, and a control loop. Configuration quality usually matters more than model choice.
305 words, about 2 min03Integrate AI Solutions with Data and Services
Integration is where AI solutions meet reality: data sources, APIs, identity, and failure modes. For retrieval-augmented generation , understand the pipeline - ingestion, chunking, embedding, indexing, retrieval, reranking, prompt assembly.
284 words, about 1 min04Test, Monitor, and Optimize AI Solutions
AI systems fail silently, so testing must cover both deterministic behavior and probabilistic quality. Build a golden evaluation set of representative inputs with expected outputs or grading criteria.
297 words, about 1 min05Secure, Govern, and Deploy AI Solutions
Security and governance are design requirements, not a final checklist. Start with identity and least privilege : the AI service should access only the data and tools it needs, using managed identities and scoped roles.
