Description

Rapidly establish development and testing environments while effectively reducing waste through the implementation of quotas and policies. Implement automated shutdowns to keep costs low and create environments for both Windows and Linux systems. Offer self-service cloud solutions that eliminate concerns about management, as lab policies and thresholds seamlessly contribute to cost reduction. Set up your virtual machine equipped with essential development tools and the latest build in just a few clicks, enabling your team to share reusable templates effortlessly. Directly generate environments from your continuous integration (CI) tools by utilizing our plug-ins, REST API, or the Visual Studio Team Services extension. Configure lab policies to automatically manage the start-up and shutdown of virtual machines, ensuring operational efficiency. Establish limits for your lab, such as the maximum number of virtual machines allowed per user and per lab, to maintain control. Analyze lab cost trends to forecast your expenditures and define a spending threshold for better budget management. Employ our REST API to provision development and testing environments directly from continuous integration (CI) tools, allowing for an integrated workflow. In addition, you can swiftly deploy from your release pipeline using our Team Services tasks extension, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process. This comprehensive approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters collaboration across your development teams.
