Azure Microsoft Learn Practice Lab Reference
Microsoft learn is one of the learning platform which helped me to upgrade my skills in Azure cloud infrastructure.
If you're looking for a study guide to get start with Azure cloud journey, i would strongly recommend to start with Microsoft Learn - Azure.
Microsoft learn provide free sandbox for practicing the labs along with informative documentation.
In-order to get start you need not to have a credit/debit card, instead a Microsoft account is more than enough.
Here I've consolidated the list of selected Lab exercises which helps you all to learn Azure cloud.
Try it out from today and practice the Lab for free.
Activation of Labs are self explanatory, just follow the documentation.
Good Luck 👍
