I really like the way to setup the labs schedule classes etc. as a trainer/administrator.
But the inability to connect to the VM via browser on standard port 80 disqualifies the otherwise perfect Lab Services for usage in company environments.
You wont find many administrators who are willing to open their network for such a wide range of ports (49152-65535).
Regular Azure VMs can be accessed via browser on port 80 using the Azure Bastion option.
Regretably that option isn't available for Lab Service VMs.
I hope MS is improving here and quickly. Otherwise a lot of business will shift to AWS or GCS.
