Manage lifecycle of devtest environment

Joel Stephens 0

The documentation for devtest lab environments created from arm templates states that resources in an environment share the same lifecycle. This sounds great but I am unsure how to manage that lifecycle.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-create-environment-from-arm

My goal is to create a devtest environment with an expiration date that will self delete the environment by the next day.

I can set an expiration date for an individual virtual machine but I would like to be able to set a lifecycle for all resources in an environment.

Thanks, this sounds great but I don't see this option anywhere. When I select my devtest lab I see "Configuration and policies" in the left menu but I don't see any option to create a new policy from there.

Will this policy automatically apply to new environments created in this devtest lab or do I have to assign it for every new environment?

Thank you, this sounds like a great option but I'm not finding it in the portal. When I select my devtest lab I see "Configuration and policies" under settings but I don't see any option under Configuration and policies to create a new policy. Has this been changed or renamed?

Also, do I need to assign this policy to each individual environment or can I set the policy to apply to all environments created under that devtest lab?

Hello @Joel Stephens Apologies for the confusion. The earlier answer doesn't apply here. I have reached out to the internal teams and @Sagar Chandra Reddy Lankala will help here from azure labs team.
