Welcome to the Student Ambassador Technical Onboarding Discussions!

[tessawiedmann]

👋 Welcome!

We’re using Discussions as a place for Student Ambassadors to ask questions related to the Technical Onboarding process. All Student Ambassadors must complete Technical Onboarding within 12 months of program onboarding. Technical Onboarding is also a requirement to advance to the Beta milestone. See more information about program requirements in the Student Ambassador Handbook (you must sign in with your Student Ambassador account to view this).

We encourage all Student Ambassadors to help each other out and answer each other's questions.

If you encounter any issues, please open a GitHub Issue!

[hrittikhere]

Awesome to have a discussion here 🌟🎉

[seths10]

I think it will be best to start redirecting people to this page. Other ambassadors are still asking questions on the teams channel

[angelotheman]

You're surely right. It has already been posted on the ambassador's platform. I believe they'll be redirected as soon as they see it.

[tessawiedmann]

Hey! Thanks, the Teams channel has been removed and all Technical Onboarding discussions will happen in these GitHub Discussions moving forward. You can see Pablo's announcement about this on the Announcements channel in Teams

[KiranAminPanjwani]

Really excited about this!!🥳✨

[Prahlad08s]

Has the Technical Onboarding process changed?
as earlier in Section 1 it used to show Create a repository but now it shows instruction like , Create a JavaScript Portfolio site....

[tessawiedmann]

Hey @Prahlad08s - great catch! Just posted an announcement discussion about the updates here #27

[nitishfy]

Hi, Where can I see the community hub?

[nitishfy]

[tessawiedmann]

Hey @nitishkumar06, can you please try again? It looks like you are part of the team (you might have to scroll to find it in your list of teams), it might have just been a one time issue. Let me know if you still can't access it

[nitishfy]

Resolved. Thanks!

[SurajPratap10]

I am a NEW ambassador, so for completing the Technical onboarding process we have to watch all the videos mentioned as hyperlinks in the README file right?

[tessawiedmann]

Hey @SurajPratap10 - the videos are optional but highly recommended. The required pieces of Technical Onboarding can be found on the Instructions page https://github.com/microsoft/SATechnicalOnboarding/blob/main/technical-onboarding-instructions.md

[SurajPratap10]

Thanks for the help!!

[ShivamGoyal03]

Hey, while creating new portfolio, I'm unable to use Azure due to the subscription when using @studentambassadors email id.

[saragibby]

Apologies @Shivam-090 got carried away posting my message before pasting in the link 😄 Here is the link to the section with the steps to create your own repo from the template: https://github.com/education/codespaces-project-template-js#create-your-portfolio

[ShivamGoyal03]

@saragibby hey, I have used the same link to create the portfolio website

[ShivamGoyal03]

@tessawiedmann Could you please reply on same?

[saragibby]

@Shivam-090 ok, great! A couple follow up questions for you:

1. Is it an Azure Student account you are using?
2. It looks like in the Azure extension, under the "Resources" list you see "Select Subscription...", is that correct? If so, does that change if you stop and restart the Codespace?

[ShivamGoyal03]

Hey @saragibby , I've completed me technical onboarding, fixed my errors at that day, thanks for helping me out.

[WasathTheekshana]

Hey, I already have a portfolio that made with NEXT JS 13. Is it okay to host with azure without using the template that given in the reposotory ?

[tessawiedmann]

Hey @WasathTheekshana, it's awesome that you already have a portfolio website, but this section of Technical Onboarding also is important because it introduces you to tools like GitHub Codespaces and GitHub Copilot, so please follow the full Technical Onboarding instructions (and you're welcome to replace the code in the template with your own from there)

[angelotheman]

@tessawiedmann would everyone have to redo the technical onboarding?

Looking at the fact that Copilot and Codespaces have been recently introduced

[tessawiedmann]

Hey @angelotheman, no if you have already completed Technical Onboarding you do not have to complete it again. The end result of the entire portfolio section is the same anyway, you still end up with a portfolio site deployed by Azure Static Web Apps. You are obviously more than welcome to redo it now if you'd like, it's a great introduction to GitHub Codespaces and Copilot!

[Shunlexxi]

Great Experience! Kudos to the contributors ):
Just completed the onboarding.

[Laraibf73]

Hi!
I am getting this error when "Deploying my web application".
kindly help!
This is my subscription:

[tessawiedmann]

Hey @Laraibf73 - sorry you're running into errors. Some questions:

1. Are you using an Azure for Students account?
2. Have you tried following the tips at the end of this section: "Issues? When creating your Static Web app, if you are prompted to select an Azure subscription and are not able to select a subscription, check the "Accounts" tab in VS Code. Make sure to choose the "Grant access to ..." options if those options appear"
3. If neither of the above work, can you try stopping your Codespace and starting a new one?
   Let me know if you still have issues after trying the above, thanks!

[Laraibf73]

Thank you :)

[MadhavGaur14]

@tessawiedmann I also facing the same issue and I have followed through all the instructions that you have told us.
Can you please help me.

[saragibby]

@MadhavGaur14 are you seeing an error message when you try to deploy your portfolio? If you could share a screen shot of what you see that would be very helpful. Thanks!

[saragibby]

@MadhavGaur14 there is also some instructions on deploying through Azure portal in this discussion if you'd like to try that deployment path.

[Shunlexxi]

Hi @tessawiedmann, trust you're doing well!
I've completed the Technical Onboarding (including the form) but I haven't gotten any mail as promised.

[SalemTracey]

Hi @Shunlexxi - Yes, we see your Technical Onboarding form submission. Please allow us a few days to review your form submission.

[Shunlexxi]

Alright... Thanks you

[hasn20]

Hey !
I am new MLSA need help when i try to get in to azure using MLSA account it gives this. What should i do ?

[SalemTracey]

Hi, It looks you are trying to leverage the Azure for Students offer with your @studentambassadors email. The Azure for Students offer can only be leveraged with a university email. Read more about Azure for Students.

I see that you are a Alpha Student Ambassadors and your Visual Studio subscription with $150 USD monthly Azure credits is enabled. Read how to access this program benefit.

You can also check out the Technical Onboarding Troubleshooting Guide.

[hasn20]

Thanks It Worked 😊

[anmoltiwari0712]

Hey is it fine if we host using the azure credits redeemed after being upgraded to alpha? because even my university email id is not getting recognised.

[SalemTracey]

@anmoltiwari0712 - yes

[ruchi017]

@SalemTracey Hey, I have been facing the same issue as a new MLSA. I just wanted to ask if a new MLSA can use azure or we can only use it after alpha milestone? Also i wanted to ask in the university email section, can we fill our personal mail id as I have not yet got my university email id.

[anmoltiwari0712]

Hey I have been trying to complete my technical onboarding using the instructions mentioned in github thread. I followed all the steps mentioned in the thread to deploy portfolio using azure static web apps. I am facing this error which says Repository Token is invalid. can you help me with this?

[anmoltiwari0712]

Also I have tried all the methods you have suggested to the user facing same issue in this discussion thread. Unfortunately It doesn't Work :(

[SalemTracey]

@anmoltiwari0712 - if you scroll up in this Discussion thread and read the comments in the post by Shivam-090, you will see he had similiar issue and Sarah provided guidance. I know you mentioned scrolling in the Discussions thread, but want to make sure you opened up that post to see all the comments.

[anmoltiwari0712]

Yeah I did refer that one too. In fact i followed the process mentioned in the thread. First I created a repo using the create repo link in the thread.

[SalemTracey]

@Shivam-090 Hi. Are you able to assit @anmoltiwari0712. See above. He is facing similar difficulties to what you faced earlier.

[ShivamGoyal03]

Hey @SalemTracey , sure will help out @anmoltiwari0712. If possible can you please connect with me through MS teams. My name is Shivam Goyal

[Mohdcode]

how to find out if i completed the teechnical onboarding or not ?

[AnthonyByansi]

Hey @Mohdcode, if you follow through the Instructions.md file all the way till the end, that will mark the completion of the technical onboarding, then you can submit your completion through this form.

Be sure to have completed the Completed all the steps necessary and reach out when you get stuck.

[Mohdcode]

yeah completed all that but didn't get any confirmation

[AnthonyByansi]

Perfect if you completed all the steps. then contact the SA-Coordinator via teams, inquiring about the status of your technical onboarding submission.

[Mishkamarzook]

[Mishkamarzook]

https://jolly-plant-0f5ca5e00.3.azurestaticapps.net
This is the link thats in my azure portal

[AnthonyByansi]

Let's hope you've been making changes from the codespaces, if so, it may seem you might have got to push the changes from the codespaces you were working from.

Let's hold a 15-minute call so I can help

[ruchi017]

Hey, I have been facing the issue as a new MLSA. I just wanted to ask if a new MLSA can create azure or not because i am getting a error saying unable to verify the university id . so we can only use it after alpha milestone only ? Also i wanted to ask in the university email section, can we fill our personal mail id as I have not yet got my university email id.

[AnthonyByansi]

hey @ruchipandey17 to utilize the Ambassador Azure monthly credits, you must have advanced to alpha. Since you cannot verify your student status, I would recommend you sign you sign up for the 200$ credit here

Hi @AnthonyByansi can we have a call today to fix my website please?

[AnthonyByansi]

Sure, reach out to me via Microsoft Teams Chat

[Durrenaja]

as i am towards technical On-boarding process but i didn't get my azure credits yet what the reason can be behind it how can i get my azure credits can you plz guide me because it is getting delay in my on boarding

[AnthonyByansi]

Hi @Durrenaja
The Azure credits can only be redeemed once you attain the Alpha milestone With the student ambassador email ([email protected])

if you haven't attained Alpha, consider joining Azure for student program with your academic institution email account eg: ([email protected])

[truptiikanade]

Facing this error..my simple browser dosen't work...!!

[NanciRamirez]

Hello, I'm trying to create my account in Azure, but it won't let me continue because it tells me that my university ID is not found what can I do in this case?

[AnthonyByansi]

Hi @NanciRamirez,
Your University ID may be missing from the list of available domains. Our technical team is actively working to ensure that most of these institutions are included in the list of available domains.

In the interim, if you have already advanced to the Alpha Milestone, please make sure to take advantage of the Azure Monthly credits provided to you, which can be accessed here. On the other hand, if you haven't yet reached this milestone, you can sign up for the $200 credit using your credit card. Rest assured that you won't be charged during the trial period.

[VardaPanchal005]

I'm getting this error when I run diagnostics it shows this

[VardaPanchal005]

I followed another youtube video and I didn't face this problem after I tried it that way

[Zesterdock]

Can you share the link to the tutorial...
Also did you use student ambassadors azure account or any student azure subscription account?

[AnthonyByansi]

Hey @VardaPanchal005 Please provide the solution here so the rest of the folks could utilize it, thank you!

[VardaPanchal005]

I didn't need to use the credits as it remained same after the website was hosted

Also Got emails That Deploment is failed.
Any Solution for this.

[AnthonyByansi]

Hello @hzjadoon the deployment failure indicates that you didn't setup the build process right. The instructions have been updated. I would highly recommend you delete the .github/workflows folder from your repository and repeat the deployment process with the following in mind
