Error received during the assessment: Microsoft Applied Skills: Deploy cloud-native apps using Azure Container Apps - Devops Org not being created fully

Hi Nitish,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I understand that technical issues can arise unexpectedly, and I recognize how important it is for you to complete the assessment lab as scheduled. Allow me to provide you with information regarding this matter.

The majority of lab-related issues reported by candidate's stem from not following instructions accurately, performing incorrect steps, or encountering intermittent problems that we’re unable to reproduce. We recommend retrying the lab once your retake window becomes available. If the issue recurs, please report it again using the same process.

We are actively monitoring all reported concerns and analyzing trends to identify areas for improvement, including refining lab instructions and email communications.

To support your success, we strongly encourage reviewing the learning path associated with the lab and carefully reading through all provided instructions and emails. As noted, the most common challenges arise when essential steps are missed, tasks are performed outside the virtual machine environment, or guidance is overlooked.

Please make sure that you review the Assessment Lab System Readiness requirements and take advantage of the Speed Test and Lab Orientation and Connectivity Check tools available on our FAQ page.

This doesn't help

The step which failed 3 times so far is NOT part of lab objectives and part of instructions which needs to be followed as is.

Instruction says create devops org by xxx name and then click this button to set it up, which I am doing correctly every time. I have no control over what's configured behind the button so cant even troubleshoot. Its sure something which microsoft to fix

Hi Nitish,

I understand how disappointing this must be—especially after meticulously following the instructions outlined in the email on multiple occasions without success.

Given that the step you're referring to is outside your control and embedded within the setup flow, it does sound like something that needs to be addressed. Since the issue persists despite repeated attempts and isn't part of the lab objectives, I recommend you submit an item challenge form if you have concerns about the exam's technical accuracy. This challenge is designed to help identify and correct problematic questions and tasks. Once the review is complete, you will be notified of the outcome.

I look forward to your response. Please note that if no response is received after three business days, the case will be closed and locked. After the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond. Thank you.

Best regards,
