Hi Ro,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum.

We see that you are facing an issue during your training on Microsoft Learn path as mentioned below:

Subject: Microsoft Certified-Azure Fundamentals

Learning Path: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Describe Azure architecture and services.

Module: Describe Azure compute and networking services

Unit 3 of 14: Exercise - Create an Azure virtual machine.

To complete Unit 3 of 14, Exercise: To complete this module without needing a personal Azure subscription, utilize the Sandbox feature. The Sandbox includes a default subscription named "Concierge Subscription." Clicking the "Activate Sandbox" button initiates the creation of a resource group, assigns a role, and establishes a required storage account and file share for Cloud Shell under the "Concierge Subscription." Upon completing the module, the Sandbox automatically cleans up all resources, including resource groups. As outlined in the learn path, Azure CLI is specifically used in Task-1 and the exercise within the module.

To complete the exercise, if you choose to open the Azure portal from your personal subscription instead of the Sandbox subscription (Concierge Subscription), you will need to create resources such as a storage account and file share to establish a connection to the Cloud Shell. Keep in mind that this may incur a small cost, as running resources can result in charges. After finishing the module, you have the option to delete resources individually or, alternatively, delete the entire resource group to eliminate the entire set of resources. Attached are screenshots from the Azure portal for reference.

After creating storage account and file share in the Azure portal we can connect to the cloud-shell as shown below by clicking on cloud-shell icon:
