I am not able to run the Azure Kubernetes Services #47
Description
🐞 Bug Report: AKS Lab Fails Due to Licensing Restrictions and Inaccessible Git Repo
Title: Unable to Complete Azure Kubernetes Services Lab – Blocked by Git Repo Access and Potential Licensing Issue
Lab: Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) Lab via Microsoft Learn / Azure DevOps Demo Generator
Step Affected: Step 12 – AKS project setup and Git repo import
Repo URL Involved:
https://vstsdemodata.visualstudio.com/_git/AKS
Issue Summary:
During the setup of the Azure Kubernetes Services lab (Step 12), the lab fails to proceed due to an issue accessing the required Git repository:
json
Copy
Edit
{
"parameters": {
"gitSource": {
"url": "https://vstsdemodata.visualstudio.com/_git/AKS"
},
"serviceEndpointId": "$AKS-code$",
"deleteServiceEndpointAfterImportIsDone": true
}
}
From my investigation, the failure appears to be related to license permissions or missing access grants for this repo. The project setup references the above repo, but the import or connection to it silently fails, preventing progress.
Observed Behavior:
The lab setup interface shows a message indicating that the AKS template is being used.
The setup process stalls and fails to import the Git repository.
No fallback error messages or detailed logs are provided.
I suspect this is due to licensing limitations or permission restrictions associated with the vstsdemodata.visualstudio.com resource.
What I’ve Tried:
Verified login with the correct Microsoft/Azure DevOps account.
Used private/incognito browsing modes.
Attempted manual project creation and extension installation.
Cross-checked required permissions and marketplace extensions.
Repeated the process on multiple browsers.
Expected Result:
The lab setup should complete successfully, importing the AKS Git repo and provisioning the necessary resources and pipelines.
Actual Result:
The lab process fails silently during the Git import phase, blocking access to the required repo and halting lab progression.
Request for Resolution:
Please investigate and resolve the access or licensing issue affecting the https://vstsdemodata.visualstudio.com/_git/AKS repo. This is critical to proceed with the AKS lab, and many learners may be similarly blocked.
If possible, please provide:
An updated repo link with open access
Manual setup instructions
Or a patched version of the lab that doesn’t rely on restricted resources
