Hi,

I have recently signed up for the Microsoft Learn Sandbox account. While creating the SQL database, under "Review + Create" tab it is showing some cost per month charges. Since, I am using the Microsoft Learn Sandbox account, will I be charged for creating SQL database?

Moreover, nothing is being mentioned about the cost and charges for creating SQL database in the Learning path for AZ900 certification.

Thanks in advance!

    MS Learn sandbox are free to use. You haven't attached any credit card in subscription so obviously there are no charges associated to it.

    See second question -

    I'm stuck in the same issue. It's showing me the charge of $380 for creating a SQL database. That's an exercise on the second module of the part 2 of the AZ900 azure fundamentals course. And I'm doing this course through my organization credentials. Am I going to be charged if I continue with the SQL deployment?

    Hey guys, anyone got any further assistance on this please? Here are more details on my case, probably everyone had the same situation:
    I run the Sandbox for the first time to create an SQL DB, and I couldn't - even I can see I'm with Microsoft Learn Sandbox subscription in the upper right corner, I couldn't create a resource before creating a free Azure account. I tried a lot of times, but every time I would get a popup screen over creating resources to create an Account. I did that, and associated my credit card with it. Afterwards, I was able to create the DB. But, on the last tab it said also that I will be charged with 380$ if I proceed, so I didn't :)
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I followed the link from the lesson in MS Learn, and it does say I'm on the Sandbox. So it's not clear is that price for info purposes or I would be charged.

    I also did send a note to the Sandbox support, but they said it's only feedback and they can't respond to that.

    So anyone got this working already? :) Thanks a lot.

    Mustafa
