Azure Lab Services will be retired on June~~,~~ 28, 2027 because of the availability of other Microsoft VDI services such as Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Azure DevTest Labs, and Microsoft Dev Box, that can be used instead for your use cases. If these services don’t meet your requirements, then we are recommending that you review and choose one of the recommended partner solutions from Spektra Systems, Apporto, Skillable, or Nerdio. These partners offer leading virtual lab solutions for the academic sector and are built on Azure. Review the retirement guide for more details about the partner options.

    If you are an existing customer of Azure Lab Services, you can continue to use the service till June 28, 2027. New customers, however, will not be allowed to sign up for the service starting July 15, 2024.  After June 28, 2027, Azure Lab Services won’t be supported, and you will not have access to your lab accounts, lab plans, or labs. We strongly encourage you to start developing a transition plan at this time to evaluate the Microsoft or partner solutions we are recommending.
