Before you sign up

Suits developers who know basic Python and want hands-on practice in Microsoft Foundry for the Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-901) exam. Most modules include a guided exercise of 20 to 35 minutes. The main caveat is that the page does not say whether the exercises need an Azure subscription, and the exam is separate. A free, concept-only companion is AI concepts for developers and technology professionals.
