Azure account - If you have access to an Azure subscription for those exercises that require it please be prepared to use this. Alternative you can sign up to a free trial (https://azure.microsoft.com/free/) (this requires a credit card to sign up). Please contact the workshop organiser ASAP if you are unable to access an Azure account.

If you would prefer to use an alternative managed Kubernetes service you are welcome to so so,although some of the hands-on exercises may not be applicable (e.g. setting up AKS). The workshop organiser(s) will try and support all managed Kubernetes services but cannot gaurantee this.
