In this hands-on lab, we use the Azure Portal to create an Azure Cognitive Service resource. We log in to the Azure Portal, create the resource, and examine several of its properties such as its API endpoint and key. This lab teaches the skills required to set up a Cognitive Service resource to perform operations such as text analysis, face recognition, and content mediation.
