Hands-on Microsoft Learn Modules

Microsoft has a free online training platform called Microsoft Learn. Additionally, you can learn more skills with fun, guided, hands-on, interactive content specific to your roles & goals. We have built a series of modules to help you learn to build .NET microservices and cloud-native technologies like Docker, Container Registry, Kubernetes, Helm, and so much more. Furthermore, a browser is the only set-up you need on your computer to execute this model. All the magic is done behind the scenes using the Azure CLI, so you can focus on learning and leave the infrastructure headaches to the scripts.
