Reviewer's verdict

A useful 30-minute glossary lookup for Azure's data connection concepts. It's not a course, but it's a free and fast way to understand the UI before starting a real project.

Azure users needing a quick intro to Datastores vs Data Assets.

Who should skip it

Learning data engineering or ML concepts from scratch.

Pros

  • Extremely short and focused.
  • Free to access.
  • Uses the current Azure ML studio interface.

Cons

  • Mostly just defines terms.
  • The exercise is a guided walkthrough, not a real challenge.
  • Doesn't go beyond the absolute basics.

The lab just had me upload a local file to create a data asset. It’s a guided click-through, not a problem to solve. Felt like watching a GIF of someone else setting up their workspace. It did clarify the difference between a datastore (the connection) and a data asset (the data pointer), which was my main goal. For a free 30-minute run-through, it did its job, but don't expect to learn anything substantial.
