Cloud Lab. What should I do?
I want to build up my knowledge & skills on Cloud technology.
I've got myself an Azure account and signed up for the free trial. I've also got myself a Windows 2016 VPS. I've also just setup my first (for me) client with Office 365 Business Essentials.
Years ago when I was learning about PC networks and Servers & email, I'd get 3 servers and run up a few NT domains, setup MS Mail & Exchange and get that all talking to each other, check mail flow and so on.
So what's the Cloud lab equivalent of that sort of thing?
I'm sitting here wondering, what's something really cool I setup that I could actually use in the real world?
The Azure training & intro videos say, you can set up Databases, test apps, run up Containers and so on, but I mainly support PC, file sharing, File Serving, email type clients, any databases or apps take care of themselves.
Anyone have any ideas?

This is being time well spent. I'm learning about Azure as well as what it can be used for, sounds similar but my meaning isn't.
I've actually set up 2 VMs, one a DC one an Exchange server and I'm going to look at migrating email and accounts etc from the Exchange box to Office 365. I have a real world need to know that so it should be useful.
I think this is time well spent, I may never use Azure, but I'm sure this knowledge is well worth the time spent attaining it.
