It is still in the lab instruction and cause confusion in the class, I have to announced that it is retired and many students are not happy that the instruction is still there while the DevOps has retired. Could this please be removed immediately as DevOps has retired on 31 March 2023? Thank you https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/retirement-notice-devops-starter-is-being-retired/

@lauraAlvEl @petender @fimdim when are we retiring the mentioned labs?

[LuizMacedo]

@Ellywati, I'm sorry about the confusion it caused. We needed to postpone the update, but I'll update the change log with the new date and remove the deprecated labs as soon as possible.

I'm working on releasing the lab deprecation on Friday, 04/28. I'm sorry about any issues the delay caused.
