Hey folks! I'm trying to get my feet wet with Azure and was looking for some sandboxes to use for hands-on practice. However, every time I find a sandbox, it says it's unavailable. Is this just me being unlucky in my searches, or are sandboxes no longer a thing? Appreciate any insights!

I had the same problem a while back. Sometimes, certain courses have specific sandbox access timings, so it could be worth checking if they’re currently available or looking into alternate courses that offer sandboxes. Don't give up!
It sounds like you might be running into some temporary issues! There are usually sandboxes available, but they can go offline for maintenance or if there’s high demand. Maybe check back later or look for other resources offering them? They're definitely not gone for good!
I've noticed that too, especially during peak times. It might help to keep an eye on forums or Azure updates for any notifications regarding sandbox availability.

Good tip! I switched to a different course and found better access to sandboxes. You might luck out with another provider!
