Alternatively, you may register for Cortana Intelligence Suite End to End live event. (December 6, 2016, 9am – 4pm PST)

Requirements
- Microsoft Azure Subscription should be pay-as-you-go, MSDN, or Enterprise Agreement. If you are using your company’s Azure subscription and your company requires that you be connected to your corporate network (through a VPN or otherwise), we recommend that you use a Trial or MSDN subscription for this workshop. This is due to the fact that you will be connecting to your subscription inside of a VM that is not connected to your corporate network.
- Setup is required before performing the steps in these exercises. Please see the setup instructions before going any further.
- Please keep in mind that HDInsight cluster and VM you provision as setup for this workshop will incur charges, so provision these resources closest to the workshop date as possible. Preferably the afternoon/night before the workshop.
