In this quickstart, you create an Azure Lab Services lab plan in the Azure portal and grant permissions to a user to create labs. Azure Lab Services enables you to create labs with infrastructure managed by Azure. After you create a lab plan, you can create labs by using the Azure Lab Services website, Microsoft Teams, or Canvas.

A lab plan is an Azure resource. A lab plan contains configuration and settings that apply to all the labs created from it. For example, lab plans specify the networking setup, the available virtual machine (VM) images, and VM sizes.
After you complete this quickstart, you'll have a lab plan that you can use for other quickstarts and tutorials.
