 This article describes how to specify _mandatory artifacts_ in Azure DevTest Labs to install on every lab virtual machine (VM). Artifacts are tools and applications that you can add to your VMs. Mandatory artifacts can include any software that every VM in your lab must have. By defining mandatory artifacts, you can ensure all your lab VMs are installed with standardized, up-to-date artifacts. Lab users don't have to spend time and effort to add needed artifacts individually.
 
-You can create a custom image from a VM that has mandatory artifacts applied to it. When you create new VMs from the custom image, the new VMs also have the mandatory artifacts.

-Here are some other considerations:
+Mandatory artifacts can't have any configurable parameters. This restriction makes it easier for lab users to create VMs. Mandatory artifacts always install first on a VM before any extra or custom artifacts selected by the user.
