Summer holiday and nice resources to help you stay out of the sun

-
Here in Norway, the summer holiday is about to start for a bunch of people. We know from experience that many IT Pros have the danger of self-combustion if they get hit by direct sunlight. So to make sure that doesn't happen I have collected some nice resources for you to spend time on your IT ninja skills instead of self-combustion.


A great place to start if you want to get some hands-on experience and insight are the Microsoft hands-on, self-paced labs. Here you currently have access to 157 different labs covering stuff from basic administration too advanced Azure stuff

Some nice examples:
  • Securing Microsoft 365
  • Successfully protect Office 365 and 3rd party cloud apps by deploying Microsoft Cloud
  • Azure Virtual Machine and Compute
  • Manage, Secure, and Optimize migrated Azure workloads
  • Deploy SaaS Apps in Record Time (Security) 
Sorry did not find a way to directly link these

Microsoft Learn is also a great way/place to learn for free. Currently, you will find Azure, Dynamics 365, .Net, Power Platform, and Windows related content. Direct link to the Azure (234 different docs) overview just click HERE

Some nice examples:
Generally, you will always find great reading materials at the Microsoft Docs site.
Stay safe and enjoy the summer!!

Visual Studio and some other solutions where out there, but they did not come with Store access or they had dependence which excluded Hyper-V from running.
