 # Introduction to classroom labs
 Azure Lab Services enables you to quickly set up a classroom lab environment in the cloud. An educator creates a classroom lab, provisions Windows, or Linux virtual machines, installs the necessary software and tools labs in the class, and makes them available to students. The students in the class connect to virtual machines (VMs) in the lab, and use them for their projects, assignments, classroom exercises. 
 
-The classroom labs are managed labs that are managed by Azure. The service itself handles all the infrastructure management for a managed lab, from spinning up virtual machines (VMs) to handling errors, and scaling the infrastructure. You specify what kind of infrastructure you need and install any tools or software that's required for the class. The managed labs are currently in preview.  
+The classroom labs are managed lab types that are managed by Azure. The service itself handles all the infrastructure management for a managed lab, from spinning up virtual machines (VMs) to handling errors, and scaling the infrastructure. You specify what kind of infrastructure you need and install any tools or software that's required for the class.
 
-## Scenarios
-Here is the main scenario that classroom labs of Azure Lab Services support: 
+## Automatic management of Azure infrastructure and scale 
+Azure Lab Services is a managed service, which means that provisioning and management of a lab’s underlying infrastructure is handled automatically by the service. You can just focus on preparing the right lab experience for your users. Let the service handle the rest and roll out your lab’s virtual machines to your audience. Scale your lab to hundreds of virtual machines with a single click.
 
-### Set up a resizable computer lab in the cloud for your classroom  
+## Simple experience for your lab users 
+Users who are invited to your lab get immediate access to the resources you give them inside your labs. They just need to sign in to see the full list of virtual machines they have access to across multiple labs. They can click on a single button to connect to the virtual machines and start working. Users don’t need Azure subscriptions to use the service. 
 
-- Create a managed classroom lab. You just tell the service exactly what you need, and it creates and manages the infrastructure of the lab for you so that you can focus on teaching your class, not technical details of a lab. 
-- Provide students with a lab of virtual machines that are configured with exactly what’s needed for a class. Give each student a limited number of hours for using the VMs for class work.  
-- Move your school’s physical computer lab into the cloud. Automatically scale the number of VMs only to the maximum usage and cost threshold that you set on the lab. 
-- Delete the lab with a single click once you’re done. 
-
-## User profiles
-This article describes different user profiles in Azure Lab Services. 
-
-### Lab account owner
-Typically, and IT administrator of organization's cloud resources, who owns the Azure subscription acts as a lab account owner and does the following tasks:   
-
-- Sets up a lab account for your organization.
-- Manages and configures policies across all labs.
-- Gives permissions to people in the organization to create a lab under the lab account.
-
-### Educator
-Typically, users such as a teacher or an online trainer creates classroom labs under a lab account. An educator does the following tasks: 
-
-- Creates a classroom lab.
-- Creates virtual machines in the lab. 
-- Installs the appropriate software on virtual machines.
-- Specifies who can access the lab.
-- Provides registration link to the lab to students.
-
-### Student
-A student does the following tasks:
-
-- Uses the registration link that the lab user receives from a lab creator to register with the lab. 
-- Connects to a virtual machine in the lab and use it for doing class work, assignments, and projects. 
+## Cost optimization and tracking  
+Keep your budget in check by controlling exactly how many hours your lab users can use the virtual machines. Set up schedules in the lab to allow users to use the virtual machines only during designated time slots or set up reoccurring auto-shutdown and start times. Keep track of individual users’ usage and set limits.

+# Use Classroom Labs for trainings
+You can set up a lab for trainings. Classroom Labs of Azure Lab Services allow you to create a lab for your training where each trainee uses identical and isolated environments for training. You can apply policies to ensure that training environments are available to each trainee only when they need them and contain enough resources - such as virtual machines - required for the training. 
+
+![Classroom lab](./media/classroom-labs-scenarios/classroom.png)
+
+Classroom Labs meets the following requirements that are required to conduct training in any virtual environment: 
+
+- Trainees can quickly provision their training environments
+- Every training machine should be identical
+- Trainees cannot see VMs created by other trainees
+- Control cost by ensuring that trainees cannot get more VMs than they need for the training and also shutdown VMs when they are not using them
+- Easily share the training lab with each trainee
+- Reuse the training lab again and again
+
+In this article, you learn about various Azure Lab Services features that can be used to meet the previously described training requirements and detailed steps that you can follow to set up a lab for training.  
+
+## Create the lab account as a lab account administrator
+The first step in using Azure Lab Services is to create a lab account in the Azure portal. After a lab account administrator creates the lab account, the admin adds users who want to create labs to the **Lab Creator** role. The trainers create labs with virtual machines for students to do exercises for the course they are teaching. For details, see [Create and manage lab account](how-to-manage-lab-accounts.md).
+
+## Create and manage classroom labs
+A trainer, who is a member of the Lab Creator role in a lab account, can create one or more labs in the lab account. You create and configure a template VM with all the required software for doing exercises in your course. You pick a ready-made image from the available images for creating a classroom lab and then customize it by installing the software required for the lab. For details, see [Create and manage classroom labs](how-to-manage-classroom-labs.md).
+
+## Configure usage settings and policies
+The lab creator can add or remove users to the lab, get registration link to send to lab users, set up policies such as setting individual quotas per user, update the number of VMs available in the lab, and more. For details, see [Configure usage settings and policies](how-to-configure-student-usage.md).
+
+## Create and manage schedules
+Schedules allow you to configure a classroom lab such that VMs in the lab automatically start and shut down at a specified time. You can define a one-time schedule or a recurring schedule. For details, see [Create and manage schedules for classroom labs](how-to-create-schedules.md).
+
+## Set up and publish a template VM
+A template in a lab is a base virtual machine image from which all users’ virtual machines are created. Set up the template VM so that it is configured with exactly what you want to provide to the training attendees. You can provide a name and description of the template that the lab users see. Then, you publish the template to make instances of the template VM available to your lab users. When you publish a template, Azure Lab Services creates VMs in the lab by using the template. The number of VMs created in this process is same as the maximum number of users allowed into the lab, which you can set in the usage policy of the lab. All virtual machines have the same configuration as the template. For details, see [Set up and publish template virtual machines](how-to-create-manage-template.md). 
+
+## Use VMs in the classroom lab
+A student or training attendee registers to the lab, and connects to the VM to do exercises for the course. For details, see [How to access a classroom lab](how-to-use-classroom-lab.md).
+
+## Next steps
+Start with creating a lab account in Classroom Labs by following instructions in the article: [Tutorial: Setup a lab account with Azure Lab Services](tutorial-setup-lab-account.md).
