# What is Azure DevTest Labs?
1212

13-
[Azure DevTest Labs](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/devtest-lab) is a service for easily creating, using, and managing infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) virtual machines (VMs) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments in labs. Labs offer preconfigured bases and artifacts for creating VMs, and Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates for creating environments like Azure Web Apps or SharePoint farms.

Lab owners can create preconfigured VMs that have tools and software lab users need. Lab users can claim preconfigured VMs, or create and configure their own VMs and environments. Lab policies and other methods track and control lab usage and costs.

## Custom VM bases, artifacts, and templates

DevTest Labs can use custom images, formulas, artifacts, and templates to create and manage labs, VMs, and environments. The [DevTest Labs public GitHub repository](https://github.com/Azure/azure-devtestlab) has many ready-to-use VM artifacts and ARM templates for creating labs, environments, or sandbox resource groups. Lab owners can also create [custom images](devtest-lab-create-custom-image-from-vm-using-portal.md), [formulas](devtest-lab-manage-formulas.md), and ARM templates to use for creating and managing labs, [VMs](devtest-lab-use-resource-manager-template.md#view-edit-and-save-arm-templates-for-vms), and [environments](devtest-lab-create-environment-from-arm.md).

Lab owners can store artifacts and ARM templates in private Git repositories, and connect the [artifact repositories](add-artifact-repository.md) and [template repositories](devtest-lab-use-resource-manager-template.md#add-template-repositories-to-labs) to their labs so lab users can access them directly from the Azure portal. Add the same repositories to multiple labs in your organization to promote consistency, reuse, and sharing.
