Lab Settings

Overview

This guide allows you to easily configure the global-level lab settings, which means that these configurations will be applicable/will be set as default to all the labs configured across your tenant. To perform any action under global-level lab settings, you would need access to the CloudLabs portal with global admin permission. Refer to CloudLabs Identity and Access Management for more details. Under these settings, you can configure the following:

• Enabling allowed Azure regions.

• Virtual machine shutdown and disconnect settings.

Enabling Allowed Azure Regions

You can enable allowed Azure regions from here to make sure the labs in your tenant are only configured in these allowed regions. Follow the steps below to allow Azure regions for the labs:

1. Login to https://portal.cloudlabs.ai/.

2. Navigate to Manage VM Labs > Settings > Lab Settings.

3. Under Lab Settings, click on the drop-down option for Allowed Regions. You can search/scroll down and select the region to enable lab configuration.

   

4. Once you have selected the regions you want to allow for the lab configuration, click on Save.

Virtual Machine Shutdown and Disconnect Settings

The VM shutdown and disconnect settings you configure here will be set as default for all the labs configured under this tenant. Note that this is not an enforced configuration. Lab creators can change these values during the creation of the lab. Setting these up will optimize your Azure cost. Before you configure the defaults, you need to understand these configurations. To know more about this setting, navigate to the Virtual Machine Shutdown and Disconnect Settings article.

Follow the steps below to configure timeout values:

1. Login to https://portal.cloudlabs.ai/.

2. Navigate to Manage VM Labs > Settings > Lab Settings.

3. Under the Shutdown & disconnect section, you can enable and provide the duration for each of the below-mentioned timeout configurations.

   

4. Once you have enabled the required configurations and provided the corresponding duration, click on Save.
