At this time, DevTest Labs supports provisioning Windows and Linux environments.
You can use Mac OS to create and manage lab VMs using Azure CLI, however there are no Mac OS VM images available.

We are trying to integrate our product features into Outlook for Mac and we use new model - JS add-in for integrating our product into outlook for Mac. We want this integration only for Mac environment. In this case how do I test / create test environment for the same? After creating test environment, we want to run automation also . How do I setup one for Outlook for Mac client ?
At this time it's not possible to create Mac/iOS environments using DevTest Labs. Although I am less familiar with Mac/iOS support in Azure DevOps, I do know that they offer cloud-hosted Mac agents for CI/CD pipelines which may get you pointed in the right direction.

Any other alternatives?
We want to setup an office 365 test environment and office apps are installed on macOS Catalina / Big Sur 11.0 machines. After setting up the test environment with windows enterprise edition client machine, Can I access the test exchange server user account from my Mac machine ?
I'm not aware of any other alternatives but it may be worthwhile to check out the Office 365 forums to see if anyone else has run into a similar issue and found a solution:
