Custom data/unattend Install custom app independently of external network. Configuration manager Centrally managed app installation, credentials & maintenance. Containerized Abstract app management from infrastructure. Cloud/DC agnostic. Custom image Small self-contained apps. Fast deploy. Immutable build, test, deploy pipelines.

- #10 Simplify cost management Set lab policies to automatically shut down and start up virtual machines. Set caps on your lab, such as the number of virtual machines per user and per lab. Use the lab cost trend to estimate your spending and set a threshold. Quickly set up environments Use custom images to quickly reproduce your environment. Install your latest bits and dev tools on your machine through artifacts. Create formulas to easily modify an environment's configuration at any time. Integrate with your existing toolchain Use our REST API to provision dev-test environments directly from your continuous integration (CI) tools. Quickly deploy from your release pipeline using our Team Services tasks extension. Use our command line tool to automate your virtual machine set up and clean up. Tailor to your scenario Centrally manage development environments across your team or organisation. Conduct compatibility and automated testing with reusable environment templates. Provide virtual machines for hackathons that automatically expire after the event. Use the service for different scenarios to suit your needs.
