Create a Lab Account

A Lab Account serves as the central account in which your organization's labs in Azure Lab Services are managed. In your lab account, give permission to others to create labs, and set policies that apply to all labs under the lab account.

• Simple and controlled lab environments in the cloud
• Azure Lab Services enables you to quickly set up an environment for your team (for example: development environment, test environment, classroom lab environment) in the cloud.
• A lab owner creates a lab, provisions Windows or Linux virtual machines, installs the necessary software and tools through reusable templates, and makes them available to lab users.
• Lab users connect to virtual machines in the lab, and use them for their day-to-day work, short-term projects, or classroom exercises. Once users start utilizing resources in the lab, the lab admin can analyze cost and usage across multiple labs, and set overarching policies to optimize your organization or team's costs.
• Azure Lab Services handles all management of the Azure infrastructure for the lab, from spinning up the VMs to handling errors, and scaling the infrastructure. If you want to manage all infrastructure and configuration yourself within your own subscription, you can create a custom lab in Azure DevTest Labs.
