There are two versions of Azure Lab Services. Labs created from lab accounts use the older version, while labs created from lab plans use the newer version. This guide explains how to review lab resources, determine lab version, and delete unused resources.

Find lab version

There are two versions of Azure Lab Services. Lab accounts are the older version, while lab plans are the newer version with enhanced feature. Use lab plans for improved student experience and supportability. Follow these steps to identify which lab version is currently deployed.

  • Find lab accounts: In the Azure portal search box, enter lab account, and then select Lab accounts. Labs created from lab accounts use the older version.

  • Find lab plans: In the Azure portal search box, enter lab plan, and then select Lab plans. Labs created from lab plans use the newer version.

Delete unused lab resources

Regularly review and delete unused lab resources to free up cores, reduce the security surface area, prevent incurring cost from unexpected access, and formally offboard.
