DevTest Labs supports creating VMs based on Azure Marketplace images depending on how you have configured Azure Marketplace images to be used in your lab. This article shows you how to specify which, if any, Azure Marketplace images can be used when creating VMs in a lab. It ensures that your team only has access to the Marketplace images they need.
Following these steps to specify which Azure Marketplace images are allowed when creating a VM.
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
Select All Services, and then select DevTest Labs from the list.
-
From the list of labs, select your lab.
-
On the home page for the lab page, select Configuration and policies.
-
On lab's Configuration and policies page under Virtual Machine Bases, select Marketplace images.
-
Specify whether you want all the qualified Azure Marketplace images to be available for use as a base of a new VM. If you select All Azure Marketplace images, then all the Azure Marketplace images that meet all the following criteria are allowed in the lab:
-
The image creates a single VM, and
-
The image uses Azure Resource Manager to provision VMs, and
-
The image doesn't require purchasing an extra licensing plan
If you want no images to be allowed, or you want to specify which images can be used, select Selected Azure Marketplace images.
-
-
If you select Selected Azure Marketplace images in the previous step, the list of available marketplace images and a search box will be displayed to you on the same page. You can use the search box to quickly search for images you are interested in. You can use the checkbox available in the first column in each row to select or deselect that particular image. To select or deselect all the items displayed in the list simultaneously, please use the first checkbox provided at the top of the checkbox column and just below the searchbar.
-
Select the Azure Marketplace images you want to allow for VM creation individually by checking each image's corresponding checkbox.
-
Select nothing from the list if you don't want to allow any Azure Marketplace images to be used in the lab.
-
If you aren't able to find a specific image to enable for the lab, follow these steps:
- Check to see if you can view the image while creating a compute VM.
- The image may not be available in the type of the subscription you use. Check with the subscription administrator for the type of the subscription (for example: MSDN, free, pay-as-you-go, and so on.).
Once you've configured how Azure Marketplace images are allowed when creating a VM, the next step is to add a VM to your lab.
