Azure DevTest Labs #73

A question I have is why is there a need for AIB when it seems to be duplicating the functionality of Azure DevTest Labs (DTL)?

All of the elements on AIB already exist in DTL and it has a UI to manage it in the portal as well as Azure CLI and Powershell support for scripting.

DTL also in supports integration with GitHub for custom artifacts (customizers in AIB) as well as Shared Image Gallery.

DTL already has the infrastructure to handle management of images and deployment/lifecycle of VMs.

@DanBrown-TechSmith I've just started to use AIB and already I'm starting to believe it has no commitment or long term support? Is this now deprecated?

@danielsollondon I think its been over a week, I hope you and your family are safe and well 👍

Hey All,

I am the PM for Azure Image Builder. @danielsollondon has transitioned to another team.

I have not personally used DTL, but I will say from looking at the documentation it's similar to Azure Image Builder, but not the same. DTL seems to allow developers a quick way to build test environments in Azure. Azure Image Builder is meant to enable organizations to build images they can re-use and replicate across their subscription.

Also, @asumner Azure Image Builder does have Microsoft commitment and long-term support, it is NOT deprecated. We actually made the service generally available a few months ago and are working on feature enhancements. We are deprecating this repo, so in the future please leave any issues/feedback on our official repo here: https://github.com/Azure/azvmimagebuilder

Thank you for your interest in Azure Image Builder!
