Hi,

  1. I want to learn Azure Log Analytics & KQL - and found that in the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/log-analytics-tutorial there's demo env provided - https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Monitoring_Logs/DemoLogsBlade - is it free to use, or I might be charged (I'm just testing queries for the provided DB/Tables) ?
  2. Found also other https://dataexplorer.azure.com/clusters/help/databases/Samples - running queries against provided DB/Tables is also free?
  3. In general - no subscriptions means no charging?

Thanks in advance!

There is no charge for running KQL queries, even in your own environment. There are a few public labs including aka.ms/LADemo that can be used for educational and demo purposes (for free).
