AI-200 Hands-On Exercises
AI-200 tests things you learn best by doing: a KEDA scaler that will not trigger, a vector query that burns request units, a function that cannot read its Key Vault reference. Microsoft’s official course includes a hands-on exercise in almost every module. They are all listed here, grouped by exam domain, and each one opens on Microsoft Learn.
You need an Azure subscription
Most exercises create real Azure resources. Use a subscription where you can create and delete resource groups, and delete each exercise's resource group when you finish so it does not keep costing money.
