There are a lot less VMs in Labs

Franky Fan (Beyondsoft Corporation) 0 Microsoft Vendor

Previously labs had a lot of VMs for various languages, but now a lot of them are missing and I don't want to use VMs with a lot of suffixes after them, e.g. VSDrop...

Hi @Franky Fan (Beyondsoft Corporation)

What do you mean by VMs for various languages? Are you referring to marketplace images or something else? Can you please share any relevant information and/or screenshots?

For example: Windows-11-Enterprise-22H2-<various languages>

I used to be able to find a lot of VMs in this form, but now they are gone.

Now either followed by VSDrop, WinBuildDevFiles... ... and other nonsense suffixes.

Hello @Franky Fan (Beyondsoft Corporation)

The screen capture in your response looks like it is actually the DevTest Labs product, not Azure Lab Services. To configure what images, show up as bases when creating a new DTL VM, see Configure Azure Marketplace image settings - Azure DevTest Labs | Microsoft Learn.
Feel free to DM for any queries.

@Prrudram-MSFT Yes I know it's DevTest Labs product, but it does have a lot of VM creation options missing, so if you don't think this is under your control, you can direct me to other places that can solve my problem.

Hi @Franky Fan (Beyondsoft Corporation)

Can you confirm if you have followed the steps in the documentation linked earlier - Configure Azure Marketplace image settings - Azure DevTest Labs | Microsoft Learn?

Specifically, you need to go to the lab, click "Configuration and policies" -> "Marketplace images". Then, ensure that "Allow all Azure Marketplace images as virtual machine base images" is set to "Yes".

If it is not set to yes, the images you are looking for may not be allowed. If you are not able to see that configuration option, you may not have the required access to view or change it and so you should contact the admin/owner of the lab.

One of our internal team members confirmed that they can see all the expected images, so I don't think there's an issue with the service here
