Get answers to some of the most common questions about classroom labs in Azure Lab Services.
The quota you set for a lab is for each student for entire duration of the lab. And, the scheduled running time of VMs doesn't count against the quota allotted to a user. The quota is for the time outside of schedule hours that a student spends on VMs. For more information on quotas, see Set quotas for users.
No. It doesn't. When educator turns on the student VM, it doesn't affect the quota allotted to the student.
No. Not all the VMs. Only the VMs that are assigned to users on a schedule. The VMs that aren't assigned to a user aren't automatically started. It's by design.
Classroom labs can create lab VMs within an IP address range you specify when creating your lab account in the Azure portal. When an address range is provided, each lab that's created after it's allotted 512 IP addresses for lab VMs. The address range for the lab account must be large enough to accommodate all the labs you intend to create under the lab account.
For example, if you have a block of /19 - 10.0.0.0/19, this address range accommodates 8192 IP addresses and 16 labs(8192/512 = 16 labs). In this case, lab creation fails on 17th lab creation.
What port ranges should I open on my organization's firewall setting to connect to Lab virtual machines via RDP/SSH?
The ports are: 49152–65535. Classroom labs sit behind a load balancer. Each lab has a single public IP address and each virtual machine in the lab has a unique port.
You can also see the private IP address of each virtual machine on the Virtual machine pool tab of the home page for lab in the Azure portal. If you republish a lab, the public IP address of the lab will not change, but the private IP and port number of each virtual machine in the lab can change. You can learn more in the article: Firewall settings for Azure Lab Services.
What public IP address range should I open on my organization's firewall settings to connect to Lab virtual machines via RDP/SSH?
See Azure IP Ranges and Service Tags — Public Cloud, which provides the public IP address range for data centers in Azure. You can open the IP addresses for the regions where your lab accounts are in.
As a lab creator, why can't I enable additional image options in the virtual machine images dropdown when creating a new lab?
When an administrator adds you as a lab creator to a lab account, you're given the permissions to create labs. But, you don't have the permissions to edit any settings inside the lab account, including the list of enabled virtual machine images. To enable additional images, contact your lab account administrator to do it for you, or ask the administrator to add you as a Contributor role to the lab account. The Contributor role will give you the permissions to edit the virtual machine image list in the lab account.
No. it's not possible to attach additional disks to a VM in a classroom lab.
You can add up to 400 users to a classroom lab.
