Azure Labs user assignment to virtual machines
Once a student registers and is assigned a VM for the lab - that VM (and corresponding disk) are assigned to that student for the lifetime of that lab.
Also, it is *not* possible for multiple students to be assigned the same VM.
Each time the student connects to their assigned VM, they will have access to the same disk - all of their files, settings, etc. will be preserved in between sessions. However, since labs are designed for faculty\IT to delete them once the class is over, we do recommend that students back up their work separately from the VM, such as to OneDrive.
Hope this helps!
