Development & Test Environments management in Azure

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.
Ofer

Thanks for the post, @oferpld Just in case you haven't seen this yet, please review the steps on migrating VMware VMs to Azure.
You have the option for agentless or agent-based migration. Don't hesitate to ping if you have any follow-up questions.

Cheers.

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
