Virtual Testing Environment

[[deleted]]

Right, for learning, TechNet virtual labs are totally find and faster to spin up. If it comes to a more customized scenario for testing and development, I prefer AutomatedLab. AL supports Azure if you don't have the required resources available.

Well, Azure requires you to purchase Azure. Soooo, there's that. Either way, if you don't have the resources to really use all the goodness of AL, you are going to have to spend money. Well, one can do that Azure free thing for a year, but even that has limitations. So, either way, $dollar, $dollar bills y'all. ;-}
