List of Azure Certification Hands-on Labs

Certification exams used to be all about test taking abilities, in recent years almost all of the Microsoft exams include a lab component. If you're studying, make sure you spend a good amount of time actually doing the work. Even if your goal is not certification, but simply learning the technologies, labs are a great way to augment reading the Microsoft Docs, going through a Microsoft Learn Course or Path, or even video training with a provider like Pluralsight.

Statistically, individuals who layer learning methods (Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Kinesthetic) have the greatest chance of absorbing and retaining the content being learned. Understanding this advantage to the learner, this post will serve as a starting point for anyone looking to get started with free hands-on lab content and guides related to Azure Certifications. If you would like to see particular content added, please let me know!

For a reference on the Azure exams available, the Microsoft Training Certification Poster is a great resource.
