Azure Labs Services - Long run of creating virtual machine

Question

I create a VM template in a lab, and then create 24 VMs in VM pools at 2020-12-04 around 17:30 (UTC+8)
However, up to this moment, some of the VM are still creating. But interesting that there are no way to stop the process, it get stuck~

My lab lesson will be conduct on tomorrow morning (2020-12-06 11:00 UTC+8). I need to create another lab and then config the template again!!!!

Just to report this bugs.

Answer 1

@Cyrus Cheng I wasn't able to reproduce the issue you saw, but I've reported this to the product team so that they are aware of the issue. Thank you again for reporting this! If you run into this again please let us know and we can resolve your lab issue for you.

Additionally, it is possible to export your template VM as a Shared Image Gallery image. This would make it easy to create your template VM again if needed. You can refer to our documentation for more information:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lab-services/how-to-attach-detach-shared-image-gallery

In general, your deployment should be similar to my deployment depending on when and where you publish your lab:

• Created a Win 10 Pro template (finished within 20 minutes as noted in the portal)
• Published the lab with a capacity of 12 machines (finished within 30 minutes)

Answer 2

I've had the same problem. Absolutely ridiculous start and stop times. This is not going to be feasible as many of my students cannot access the labs. The virtual machine pool is never in any state except 'creating'. Can't find any fixes
