Can I earn both DevOps Engineer Expert and Azure Solutions Architect Expert?

Question

I passed AZ-400 – Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions on September 4, 2023.

I am now planning to take:

• AZ-104 – Microsoft Azure Administrator
• AZ-305 – Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions

I would like to confirm:

1. If I pass AZ-104 and AZ-305, can I earn the Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification?
2. Can my previously passed AZ-400 still be used to earn the DevOps Engineer Expert certification?
3. After passing AZ-104 and AZ-305, can I have both certifications on my Microsoft Learn profile?
   • Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert
     • Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert

My main concern is whether my AZ-400 passed in September 2023 is still valid/eligible for the DevOps Engineer Expert certification.
