Setup Checklist

Complete these checks, then continue to Module 1.

  1. Review account and environment details on this page

    Use this Setup page as the single source of truth for:

    • Lab sign-in account information.
    • Shared Azure resource group and resource names.
    • Any live updates from coaches for the environment.

  2. Sign in to Fabric and verify workspace access

    Go to app.fabric.microsoft.com and sign in using the lab account listed below on this page.

    Open Workspaces and confirm your workshop workspace is visible.

  3. Sign in to Azure portal and verify shared RG access

    Go to portal.azure.com, then open the shared resource group listed below on this page.

    Confirm you can view the core UrbanPulse data resources (SQL, Storage, Cosmos, Event Hubs namespace).

  4. Proceed to Module 1

    Once Fabric workspace access and Azure resource visibility are confirmed, continue to Module 1.
