I am trying to complete the module Describe the core architectural components of Azure and got to this exercise: Exercise - Explore interacting with Azure, which requires using the Cloud Shell. However, when I try to open either PowerShell or Bash is asks for an Azure subscription. I thought that this module could be completed with Sandbox, but there is no option to activate the Sandbox either in the module or any exercise. Is there another way to use Sandbox to complete the training?

    To complete the exercise "Explore interacting with Azure" in the module "Describe the core architectural components of Azure," you will need to use an Azure subscription, as the Microsoft Learn sandboxes are no longer available. The sandbox environments were previously free environments for exploring Azure but are no longer offered. Therefore, you will need to sign up for an Azure subscription to access the Cloud Shell and complete the exercises.

    If you do not have an Azure subscription, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial or a pay-as-you-go subscription to gain access to the necessary resources for your training.
