I looked for other threads on this, but as of Dec, this sandbox was said to be working.
I've had the following problems since last week.
Introduction to Cisco SD-WAN REST APIs, Step 1
https://developer.cisco.com/learning/labs/intro-sd-wan-rest-api/step/1
DevNet SD-WAN Always On Sandbox
Link: https://sandboxsdwan.cisco.com:8443/
Problem: After you enter the username and password, the web page hangs.
Workaround: If you close the browser tab and go to the link a second time, the web page loads correctly.
source venv/bin/activate
The lab should say that to activate a virtual environment in Windows, use "source venv/Scripts/activate" instead of "source venv/bin/activate".
pip install -r requirements.txt
Problem: When I ran this command, one of the packages required C++ Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019. After I installed the build tools, cffi did not build.
Workaround: I uninstalled all the packages in requirements.txt. I removed the version dependencies in requirements.txt. After that, the packages installed correctly.
Introduction to Cisco SD-WAN REST APIs, Step 4
https://developer.cisco.com/learning/lab/intro-sd-wan-rest-api/step/4
vManage REST APIs documentation
Link: https://sdwan-docs.cisco.com/Product_Documentation/Command_Reference/vManage_REST_APIs
Problem: The link is invalid - page not found.
Solution: The correct link is https://sdwan-docs.cisco.com/Product_Documentation/Command_Reference/Command_Reference/vManage_REST_APIs.
Swagger
Link: https://sandboxsdwan.cisco.com:8443/apidocs
Problem: The link for the Swagger-based documentation times out.
Using Postman to interact with the Cisco SD-WAN REST API, Step 1
https://developer.cisco.com/learning/labs/sd-wan-rest-api-postman/step/1
source venv/bin/activate
The lab should say that to activate a virtual environment in Windows, use "source venv/Scripts/activate" instead of "source venv/bin/activate".
Using Postman to interact with the Cisco SD-WAN REST API, Step 2
https://developer.cisco.com/learning/lab/sd-wan-rest-api-postman/step/2
Postman
Problem: When I send the authentication Post, there is no response. When I click on the security check link directly, the link is "Not found".
Could not get any response
There was an error connecting to https://sandboxsdwan.cisco.com:8443/j_security_check.
I stopped doing the lab at this point as I couldn't get anything done.
DevNet Associate Exam v1.0 (200-901)

Section 3, Study Material - "Cisco SD-WAN CLI application developed using the vManage REST API" should be listed after the other three SD-WAN topics, because the other three are prereqs.
