Azure DevTest Labs: Configure a shared image gallery in your lab

Published date: June 04, 2019

DevTest Labs now supports the Shared Image Gallery feature. It enables lab users to access images from a shared location while creating lab resources. It also helps you build structure and organization around your custom-managed VM images. Shared Image Gallery feature supports:

  • Managed global replication of images
  • Versioning and grouping of images for easier management
  • Make your images highly available with Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) accounts in regions that support availability zones. ZRS offers better resilience against zonal failures.
  • Sharing across subscriptions, and even between tenants, using role-based access control (RBAC).

If you have a large number of managed images that you need to maintain and would like to make them available throughout your company, you can use a shared image gallery as a repository that makes it easy to update and share your images. As a lab owner, you can attach an existing shared image gallery to your lab. Once this gallery is attached, lab users can create machines from these latest images. A key benefit of this feature is that DevTest Labs can now take the advantage of sharing images across labs, across subscriptions, and across regions.
