Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to get it, so a few days after the international network broke, the access would be a bit slow. In this article, I will introduce you to this virtual labs library and how to use it basically.

This Microsoft Labs repository is called TechNet Virtual Labs , which includes quite a number of popular Microsoft services from popular like Windows, Office to a bit more advanced like Windows Server, SQL Server and other high-end services. for developers. What I like most about this lab library is that it has the latest Microsoft services such as Windows Server 2016, SQL Server 2016, running on HTML 5 platform, not old JavaScripts like this one [old Microsoft labs], sports The interaction and interaction is very detailed, specific and quick for you to follow. In general, I am very happy, only regret that there is no way to get it, so you can go through it.

It can be said that this labs is like a way for Microsoft to "show products" to users to see how their products will work, giving them the opportunity to experience the product before deciding to buy. line. But at the same time, it also provides very detailed ways to configure, commands, manipulate to use the service, so this lab is also very useful for IT majors, need tools to practice but not equipped with enough equipment.
