Abstract: A virtual machine (VM) test instance is created in a virtual machine scale set. When the VM test instance is created, a unique set of credentials is also created corresponding to the VM test instance. The unique set of credentials is stored in a secret store that is separate from other cloud and organization credentials. When access to a VM test instance is requested by a user, the unique credentials are provided to the user to use the VM test instance for a limited time. When the user is finished using the VM test instance, or when the VM test instance expires, then the VM test instance is destroyed and the unique credentials are also destroyed.
