FAQ
Do I need production access on day one?
No. Labs run in shared sandboxes; you mirror patterns locally or in a non-prod account you control.
What is intentionally out of scope?
We do not provide legal opinions on contracts or procurement. Vendor escalations must flow through your existing support agreements; we coach the technical narrative only.
How much async time should I budget?
Plan 4–6 hours weekly outside live sessions for readings, labs, and short write-ups.
Experience notes
“Mentor feedback on my Azure capstone referenced actual route tables, not generic praise.”
