Imagine building data pipelines, querying petabytes of structured or streaming data, exploring interactive dashboards, or analyzing insights with machine learning—all in a fully contained, browser-based sandbox.

The Azure Data Playground turns these possibilities into reality—without needing to configure a thing. Dive in and explore Azure’s premier data services, right at your fingertips.

What Is the Azure Data Playground?

The Azure Data Playground is your hands-on environment to explore Azure’s robust data stack. From ingestion to transformation, analysis to visualization, you can prototype real-world data workflows using services like Azure Synapse, Data Factory, Data Explorer, Stream Analytics, Machine Learning, and more.

Designed to support safe experimentation, the playground offers a pre-configured environment with guided access to Azure’s most powerful data tools—perfect for learning, testing, and building.

Azure Data Playground – Features

Playground Notes:

• 3-Hour Sessions:
  • Each session runs for up to 3 hours, giving you a focused window to build, test, and validate end-to-end data workflows.
• Safe, Isolated Sandbox:
  • The environment is completely isolated—meaning you can break things, start over, and iterate without any risk to production systems.
• Supervised Access:
  • Activity is continuously monitored to keep the experience fair and productive. Misuse may result in temporary access blocks—but you’re always welcome to return and continue exploring.
