The problem has been persisting for over 2 weeks. It is very discouraging.

I wasn't the only one screaming :) it's a bit challenging until the solution arrives, but we're trying to experiment with the free Azure.

OzanAkbay Thank you for being supportive. And you're sure that we're not going to pay an additional cost with free azure as long as the bug is PRI3 it's not going to be fixed

@Habibouldmoussa There is an issue with a system on an educational platform. I believe this will be fixed, though I'm not sure how long it will take. Honestly, I don't know whether it will remain free on Azure or if there will be any costs later. Thank you for bringing the issue here. I hope it gets resolved soon.

@OzanAkbay The saddest thing is that I can't even open an Azure account. I'm Nigerian. Anyway, I sincerely hope this issue is fixed soon. @Habibouldmoussa Thanks for bringing the issue here.

@Azeez-Zainab @Habibouldmoussa Have you taken the Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 exam? How are you preparing? Is the content on https://learn.microsoft.com/ enough?

Jan 05 '25 17:01 OzanAkbay

@OzanAkbay Even if it's simple, you need the sandbox, you must have all the elements of the course to be able to pass the exam, that said if I want to invest in other exams, if it's that long for Doing a simple debug of the sandbox will become more complicated for the future. I don't understand this obsession with these exams, but they are required of us at work and I have to pass them as quickly as possible.

To Microsoft support team, could you please resolve this issue promptly. I have tried to use the newly created free (field trial) account to follow the lab's instruction within the tutorial but finding obstacles in obtaining the free resources in the trial version.

I have completed all the modules for Azure Fundamentals. And if I remember correctly, it only provided 3 or 4 PowerShell tasks, there isn't much exercise content.

Jan 05 '25 23:01 OzanAkbay

@OzanAkbay I have not completed the modules. I guess I'll have to continue and hope they fix it soon

I have the same issue, as well as ten other people I know. A lot of people are reporting this issue on Microsoft Learn Q&A.
