Note

Applied Skills on Microsoft Learn are practical, hands-on exercises designed to help users build and demonstrate proficiency in specific technologies or tasks. These small labs focus on solving real-world scenarios, reinforcing learning through direct application of skills, and preparing users for industry roles or certifications.

Microsoft Learn

Note

Microsoft Learn sandboxes are interactive, temporary environments provided by Microsoft Learn that allow users to practice and explore Azure services and other Microsoft technologies without needing their own subscription. These sandboxes are free, time-limited, and isolated, offering a secure space to complete guided learning modules, tutorials, and hands-on exercises in a real-world setup.

Occasionally, they require you to bring your own subscription or run the exercises locally on your computer.

Caution

Be careful of starting multiple sandboxes/visiting multiple sandbox URLs at the same time as Microsoft Learn might suspend your access due to detected suspicious activity.
