How the labs work

## Practice Azure without account setup or cloud bills

Cybr prepares an isolated Azure environment for each lab, so you can focus on the task instead of subscriptions, billing, and cleanup.

1. Step 01

   ### Choose an Azure lab

   Pick a guided scenario that matches the skill you want to practice.

2. Step 02

   ### Launch real resources

   Open the temporary Azure environment prepared for your lab.

3. Step 03

   ### Complete the scenario

   Use the portal, CLI, or application tools to finish the task.

**Isolated Microsoft Azure environments**

Practice separately from personal and company resources. Cybr provides the Azure environment and removes the resources when the lab ends.

Before you start

## Microsoft Azure hands-on lab FAQ

What Microsoft Azure skills can I practice?

You can practice the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Blob Storage security assessments with Prowler, Static Web Apps, serverless APIs, Microsoft Entra authentication, Activity Log investigations, Microsoft Foundry, and secure AI agent access.

Do I need my own Azure subscription?

No. Cybr provides the temporary Azure resources and credentials required by each lab, so you do not need to connect a personal or company subscription.

Are these Azure labs suitable for beginners?

Yes. Foundational labs introduce the Azure portal and CLI before later scenarios move into application security, cloud investigations, serverless development, and AI agents.

Can I try an Azure lab for free?

Yes. The Azure collection includes free foundational labs for the portal, CLI, storage, application deployment, identity, and activity-log investigation. [Browse free Azure labs](https://cybr.com/hands-on-labs/?category=azure)

What happens to the Azure resources after a lab?

Lab resources are temporary and isolated. Cybr handles cleanup when the lab session ends, so the environment does not create an ongoing cloud bill.
