Reviewer's verdict

This is a product marketing pamphlet, not a 'get started' guide. Use it to learn the names of Azure services, then immediately move to a real hands-on lab or a proper course.

Who it's for

Absolute beginners needing a glossary of Azure ML product names before a bigger course.

Who should skip it

Anyone trying to train a model, write code, or gain a practical skill.

Pros

  • Quick overview of Azure ML service names.
  • Up-to-date screenshots.
  • Doesn't require any local setup or Azure subscription.

Cons

  • No hands-on component; just text and multiple-choice questions.
  • Extremely shallow; more of a product catalog than a learning module.
  • Knowledge check questions are simple vocabulary recall.

One unit just shows a table comparing AmlCompute, Kubernetes, and Databricks. Then it asks you to pick one for a scenario. But there’s no lab, no sandbox, not even a click-through demo. I didn't get to 'design' anything. I just read descriptions of services.

This isn't really a learning module. It's a thirty-minute vocabulary list for the Azure ecosystem. I get that it's an introduction, but it feels like studying for a salesperson's certification exam. I now know what Azure Automated ML is supposed to do, but I have no idea how it feels to use it, what the interface looks like, or what a common error might be. I just clicked through pages of text. I guess it’s a decent map of what I'd need to learn later, but it doesn't actually teach any of it.
