Azure DevTest - Create A Claimable Virtual Machine

Introduction

This article is a continuation of my previous one in which we were dealing with Azure DevTest for creating a Lab environment for testers and developers to host their applications on the cloud which will walk with a smart path for them. Click here to surf for it.

In this article we will be working with creating a claimable virtual machine on the same devtest lab which we have created by the previous demo. Click here to know more about Claimable Virtual Machines and pooling them.

At the end of this article you will be achieving the following objective:

1. Creating a claimable Virtual Machine on Azure DevTest labs.

Follow the below steps now,

CREATING A CLAIMABLE VIRTUAL MACHINE

Login to the Azure Portal – www.portal.azure.com

Here goes my azure portal with the devtest lab which I have already created in the previous demo.



Lets click on the DevTest lab named “demodevtest” over here.



Now let's click on More Services from the Service blade of azure portal



Search for DevTest labs in the search bar and click on the same as shown below,



And even from this DevTest Lab environment you can move for the DevTest Lab environment which you have created as shown above.

Now here at this “demodevtest” click on Add to add the Claimable Virtual Machine on the same devtest lab environment.



Here at this Choose a Base blade select the image of the virtual machine for which you want to add it as shown below,



Configure the below details for it.

• Name the Virtual Machine.
• User name for the Virtual Machine.
• Disk and size of the Virtual Machine.
• Artifacts to be added.
• Advanced settings (surf for the steps below)
