Data Engineering with Microsoft Azure Nanodegree Workspace Changes On March 20th, 2023 we will be updating the Azure hands-on labs in the Data Engineering Using Microsoft Azure Nanodegree program. This update will delete all progress in the labs throughout the Nanodegree and unfortunately, due to changing our hands-on lab provider, we will not be able to restore any work lost due to this update. We recommend you save your files and work on your local machine for these exercises. You can then upload those files to the new hands-on labs and continue your work. How does this change affect me? The following change might affect your progress in the lab you have made. Changing the hands-on lab provider would delete all progress and unfortunately, we will not be able to retrieve any progress after the change takes place. Therefore, we are providing learners time to back up their work before the change takes place for a smoother transition. I have already made a lot of progress for this project in the current lab how do I shift all this work to the new lab You would not be able to directly shift your work from the current Azure console directly to the new lab. Therefore, we recommend following the steps mentioned in this article to create backups of your work and relaunch them in the new lab. How do I create a backup of my work? Please follow the steps mentioned in this article to create a backup of your work.
