This is a guided tour of Microsoft's GenAIOps stack, not a hands-on engineering course. Use it to learn the names of their tools, then find a real course to learn the craft.

Who it's for
Engineers new to GenAI Ops needing to learn the Microsoft ecosystem's vocabulary.
Who should skip it
Anyone looking for hands-on, tool-agnostic MLOps principles.
Pros
Covers the full lifecycle of a GenAI app, conceptually.
Introduces specific Microsoft tools (Foundry) for each stage.
Free to access.
Cons
More of a product tour for 'Microsoft Foundry' than a skills course.
No real coding; just reading about concepts and tools.
The 'GitHub Actions' part is superficial and doesn't show complex workflows.
Six hours into this path, I was still waiting for the lab. Instead, every module, every solution, just funnels you to a product called 'Microsoft Foundry.' Planning? Foundry. Evaluation? You guessed it, Foundry. There are no sandboxes, just walls of text describing what you would do inside their ecosystem. Calling this 'operationalizing' is a stretch. It's a six-hour marketing deck.
I was hoping for some actual GitHub Actions YAML or gritty details on automating evals. Instead, you get high-level diagrams. At least it's free, so I only wasted an afternoon. If you're all-in on Azure, this is probably a decent roadmap of what to click. For anyone else, it's just a glossary for a product you don't use.
