Azure Lab Services enables you to quickly set up a classroom lab environment in the cloud. An educator creates a classroom lab, provisions Windows, or Linux virtual machines, installs the necessary software and tools labs in the class, and makes them available to students. The students in the class connect to virtual machines (VMs) in the lab, and use them for their projects, assignments, classroom exercises.

Currently, classroom lab is the only type of managed lab that's supported by Azure Lab Services. The service itself handles all the infrastructure management for a managed lab type, from spinning up VMs to handling errors and scaling the infrastructure. After an IT admin creates a lab account in Azure Lab Services, an instructor can quickly set up a lab for the class, specify the number and type of VMs that are needed for exercises in the class, and add users to the class. Once a user registers to the class, the user can access the VM to do exercises for the class.

-**Simplified experience for lab users**. Users who are invited to your lab get immediate access to the resources you give them inside your labs. They just need to sign in to see the full list of virtual machines they have access to across multiple labs. They can click on a single button to connect to the virtual machines and start working. Users don’t need Azure subscriptions to use the service. [Lab users can register](how-to-use-classroom-lab.md) to a lab with a registration code and can access the lab anytime to use the lab’s resources.

Managed lab types enable you to get started right away, with minimal setup. The service itself handles all the management of the infrastructure for the lab, from spinning up the VMs to handling errors and scaling the infrastructure. To create a managed lab type such as a classroom lab, you need to create a lab account for your organization first. The lab account serves as the central account in which all labs in the organization are managed.
