Office 365, Azure and SharePoint development
I'm looking for suggestions from the community on how you address the following.
We have a number of developers all having their own subscription using their free monthly credit as part of being a Microsoft partner.
We are running a number of projects where we doing things like:
* Continuous integration
* Client Side web parts stored in CDNs in Azure
* Azure Functions
* Azure Web App
* Other Azure costly things
In general the Microsoft accounts are connected to our own internal Office 365/Azure where we don't want to do our development.
how to you manage your subscriptions for development purposes? Other than that the monthly credit runs out quite rapidly when testing, developing how do you make credit available to developers on Azure? The obvious answer of course is to purchase Azure credit. I'm interested to know what other Microsoft partners do?
- Can you make use of Azure DevTest Labs, that's meant to help with controlling costs? I posted about DevTest Labs here with Microsoft Build updates and links to the presentation/slides:

Today I tried creating a DevTest Lab connected to my demo tenant and I'm still getting to the point where I need to sign up for a subscription. So I still can't share the credit that I already have connected to my Microsoft account.
- Interesting, I'm not sure if that's a known limitation or a bug even. Could be worth tweeting AzureSupport, they can probably provide a quick answer or someone may chip in here, that knows more about this.
please have a look at below article
Set up your Office 365 development environment
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/howto/setup-development-environment- Hi sjoerd, I have seen that article but that still doesn't let me share subscriptions across to demo tenants while my msdn account is connect to my production tenant.
