A development team will deploy and then remove 50 virtual machines each week. All VMs are configured with Azure Resource Manager templates. Which Azure service minimizes the administrative effort to deploy and remove these VMs?

Azure DevTest Labs is designed for scenarios like this, allowing developers and testers to quickly provision and de-provision environments using pre-configured templates. It minimizes administrative effort by automating the creation and cleanup of VMs, managing costs, and providing self-service access within defined policies. Azure Reserved Virtual Machine (VM) Instances are for long-term cost savings on consistent workloads, not frequent deployment and removal. Azure virtual machine scale sets are for deploying and managing many identical VMs as a single unit, primarily for scaling applications, not for ephemeral development/testing environments. Azure Virtual Desktop provides a cloud-based desktop experience, which is not the primary goal here.
