Reviewer's verdict

It's a quick, free product tour of Copilot for Azure SQL. It shows you the buttons, but don't expect to build any real muscle memory or solve a hard problem.

Who should skip it

Developers looking for deep integration or automation code

Pros

  • Quick overview of Copilot's intended use in Azure SQL admin.
  • Sandbox environment is pre-configured, no setup needed.
  • Emphasizes the need for human review of AI-generated code.

Cons

  • Exercise is a basic 'copy this prompt, paste it here' walkthrough.
  • Doesn't go beyond surface-level prompt engineering.
  • Feels more like a product demo than a technical training module.

The lab gives you a pre-written prompt to diagnose a slow query. You copy it, paste it into the Copilot chat, and it tells you which index is missing. That's it. That’s the lab. It's a demo, not a drill. It correctly points out that you can't just trust the output—good, someone had to say it—but the rest is just a guided tour of features.

I was hoping for something that would show me how to integrate this into a real workflow, maybe with VS Code for some IaC automation like the outline promised. Instead, it felt like watching someone else use the tool. The GitHub Copilot part was just screenshots explaining what you *could* do. For a one-hour investment, it's a decent look at the UI, I guess. You're not going to walk away being able to actually accelerate much of anything without a lot more practice on your own time.
