Development & Test Environments management in Azure

Question

Hello,

Our current development/test environments are VMs, each of which contains all the relevant stack that runs in production. Those VMs are managed in VMWare, in which 3 physical hosts are installed with vCenter. We have created a smart mechanism using Azure DevOps pipelines, Power Automate and vCenter, that allows end user to, allocate (via Teams) new VM for his own purpose, delete existing VM and so on.

I would like to know my options in Azure of how can I migrate such mechanism, that will manage the VMs under Azure - and not under our local vCenter.

Thanks in advnace.

If you do not require vCenter control for Azure VM's (could not conclude that from your question) your best option is to setup DevTest Labs with a custom image. Then use Power Automate and some code to 'claim' a VM using Teams
