What do I do if the sandbox is never available?

Question

I've been trying to get to grips with the course "Describe the core architectural components of Azure", but the sandboxes are never available. Not really sure where to go without this resource being available?

Answer 1

Hi Andrew Scott,
Thank you for contacting the Q&A forum.
The sandbox is inaccessible for this module “Describe the core architectural components of Azure” and where this might be because of temporary errors, our backend team is however actively working to ensure that it is rectified in the shortest time possible. We will be notified through the module as soon as the sandbox is functional. In the meantime, you can either go ahead with the training without components or you can make use of the Azure Free Trial membership to go ahead with the training.

Hi Andrew,

You can workaround the issue by opening up a new tab and activating sandbox using below link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/describe-azure-compute-networking-services/3-exercise-create-azure-virtual-machine

Once you have successfully completed the puzzle, accepted permissions, etc., and sandbox is activated, complete the tasks as described in Exercise - Explore the Learn sandbox. Additionally, you may leave the tab open and use the same sandbox for the Exercise - Create an Azure resource later in same module.
