In Azure DevTest Labs, both [custom images](devtest-lab-create-template.md) and [formulas](devtest-lab-manage-formulas.md) can be used as bases for [creating new lab virtual machines (VMs)](devtest-lab-add-vm.md). The key distinction between custom images and formulas is that a custom image is simply an image based on a virtual hard drive (VHD). A formula is an image based on a VHD that also includes preconfigured settings. These settings can include VM size, virtual network, subnet, and artifacts. Preconfigured settings are set up with default values that you can override when you create the VM.

In this article, you learn the pros and cons of using custom images versus formulas. You can also read [Create a custom image from a VM](devtest-lab-create-custom-image-from-vm-using-portal.md) and [Create a formula from a VM](devtest-lab-manage-formulas.md#create-a-formula-from-a-vm) for more details.

This article describes how to create and manage formulas in Azure DevTest Labs. A formula in DevTest Labs is a list of default property values that are used to create a virtual machine (VM). When you create a VM from a formula, the default values can be used as-is, or modified.

Formulas are similar to [custom images](../articles/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-create-template.md) and [Marketplace images](../articles/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-configure-marketplace-images.md), as they provide a mechanism for fast VM provisioning. Similar to [custom images](../articles/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-create-template.md), formulas enable you to create a base image from a virtual hard disk (VHD) file. The base image can then be used to provision a new VM. To help decide which approach is right for your particular environment, see [Comparing custom images and formulas in DevTest Labs](../articles/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-comparing-vm-base-image-types.md).
