About lab assessment

Lab assessments are Hands-on labs with the gloves off. You jump into an auto-provisioned cloud environment and are given a goal to accomplish. No instructions, no hints. To pass, you'll have a limited time to demonstrate your problem-solving skills and get the checks that inspect the state of your lab environment.

Description

There are many facets to operations within the Microsoft Azure cloud. This lab assessment allows you to demonstrate your prowess across a range of Azure operations competencies. To complete the assessment you will need to apply your hands-on Azure operations skills in a real, production-like Azure environment.

The lab assessment presents you with a set of tasks organized into three increasingly difficult levels: Beginner (1), Intermediate (2), and Advanced (3).
