Azure Synapse Training

Question

I signed up for the "Let’s Build Together —
Hands-on Training Series for Azure Synapse Analytics" offered by Microsoft. However, it keeps asking me to sign up for a free account or pay for the services. Does my current profile allow me to take this series or not? It is very hard to figure out what my account profile through Windstream is capable of handling?

Hello @Georgevich, Mark C ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

Attendees that follow (Let’s Build Together - Hands-on Training Series for Azure Synapse Analytics) along will need to have their own Azure subscription.

Note: There will not be a sandbox environment to log into. As a reminder, attendees with qualifying subscription types can use the free quantities promotion for Azure Synapse available until July 31st during these episodes.

What subscriptions qualify for these free quantities?

Free quantities apply only to the following subscription types: Pay-as-you-go, Microsoft Azure Enterprise, Microsoft Azure Plan, Azure in CSP, or Enterprise Dev or Test. These included free quantities aggregate at the enrollment level for enterprise agreements and at the subscription level for pay-as-you-go subscriptions.

Note: Azure free trail account are not supported for free quantities. But you can try to sign up free to get instant access and $200 credit and utilize the credits to create Azure Synapse Analytics workspace and follow the Hands-on training series for Azure Synapse Analytics.

How do I activate these free quantities?

If you have one of the qualifying subscription types listed above, confirm that that Synapse workspace you are using is indeed linked to that qualifying subscription. There is no need to activate the free quantities anywhere in the Azure portal or your Synapse workspace as they will automatically apply to your usage if you qualify.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
