A solid 40-minute tour of Azure ML pipelines, but it's just a tour. It gets a lab environment running and shows you the buttons to click, which is helpful, but don't expect to understand MLOps from this alone.

Pros
Quick, hands-on lab using the Azure ML studio.
Clear instructions for creating and running a simple pipeline.
Uses the latest v2 SDK and YAML definitions.
Cons
Very basic; doesn't cover complex dependencies or scheduling.
The exercise is just a copy-paste-and-run walkthrough.
Knowledge check questions are too easy.
You spend more time waiting for the compute instance to start up than you do on the actual concepts. It's really just a guided tour of the Azure ML studio UI. The exercise gives you all the code; you just clone a repo and run the notebooks. It's a copy-paste job.
But maybe that's the point. It shows you exactly where to click to build a simple pipeline from two components and how to read the YAML. For a 40-minute module, that's fine. It does its job. I finished it and immediately moved on to another one about Transformers. At least the lab environment worked without any weird setup issues, which is more than I can say for some other platforms. It’s a decent way to see what the interface looks like before you commit to a bigger project.
