Lack of Adequate Alternatives for New Users: Problems because of Azure Pass being discontinued
Hi, The discontinuation of the Azure Pass presents significant challenges. As a Microsoft Partner, Palmeto Solutions has trained thousands of professionals in Azure over the past decade. This ch...
Thank you Julian,
I would like to seek clarification regarding the Azure passes in relation to our upcoming AZ-400 training scheduled from October 25th to 28th. As per your communication, it seems that Azure passes will retire on October 25th.
Specifically, if we purchase labs from ALH Lab provider and distribute them to participants for their training, will they be able to redeem the lab codes and collect the Azure pass codes on October 25th? If they redeem the ALH Lab key and collect the Azure pass code on October 26th, will they still be able to use it, or will all Azure pass codes be stopped effectively on October 25th?
Additionally, since it was mentioned that Azure passes will no longer be available for purchase on the ALH platform, I would like to know the status of codes bought on or before October 25th, 2024. Will participants be able to access and use these Azure pass codes at a later time? What will be the validity period for the Azure codes purchased before October 25th?
Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated, as we have committed these corporate classes to our clients some time ago.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

SrinivasR check with your ALH as different providers may or may not have implemented the non Azure pass method

Hi SrinivasR, thanks for your detailed description of the issue. We do understand that moving away from Azure Passes creates an operational change for our partners to navigate. I can also say that there is no plan to change course on Azure Passes. Most of our courses are now handled by the ALH lab environments and the ALHs provide Azure Passes for the few courses that still require them.
Are you having a challenge in getting the appropriate lab experience from an ALH?
Thank you Julian_Sharp for the assist.
