Why EdTechs Choose CloudLabs

When the world's biggest EdTechs need hands-on labs at scale, they choose CloudLabs

From cohort bootcamps to global certification programs, CloudLabs has powered hands-on learning for the names your buyers already trust. The platform that handles their scale will handle yours.

Students collaborating on hands-on learning in a modern EdTech environment

Proven At EdTech Scale

A decade of running hands-on labs for global cohorts, certification tracks, and 24/7 self-paced learners. The reliability problem is solved before you arrive.

Built For EdTech Economics

Pay-as-you-go pricing, save-states, idle-VM detection, and per-program controls. Per-learner unit economics that work at any scale.

Invisible To Your Learners

Full white-labelling, custom domain, LMS integration. Learners stay inside your brand. CloudLabs runs underneath, by design.

The Pitch In One Line

You build the courses,
we build the labs

Hands-on is a commercial differentiator for online learning. Building the lab infrastructure to deliver it pulls your engineering team off your core product for 12 months and never really stops costing you. CloudLabs is the lab platform layer. The full virtual lab platform under your courses, your branding, your domain, your LMS, your terms.

Browser Labs

Browser-Based Labs From Any Device

Direct Web Connect. Learners click a link in your course, the lab loads. No installs, no plug-ins, no IT tickets, no learner drop-off in the first five minutes.

Server racks powering multi-cloud virtual lab environments
Multi-Cloud

Cloud Labs Across AWS, Azure, GCP

Real cloud-based labs in real environments. The same tools learners will use on the job, mapped to whichever certification or course catalog you're delivering.

Your Brand On Every Surface

Full white-labelling. Custom portal URL. Your logo, your colors, your domain. Learners never see CloudLabs. They see your platform doing more.

What You Get

Everything needed to run virtual labs at scale

The full platform ships with every deployment. No tiered feature gates, no enterprise-only modules. Whether you launch a 50-learner pilot or a catalog of 50,000 learners, you get the same platform leading EdTechs run on.

  • Direct Web Connect

    Browser-based labs from any device. No installs, no plug-ins, no IT tickets.

  • LTI & LMS Integration

    SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001:2022. Procurement signs off without slowing your roll-out.

Customization

Customize the lab to your course, not the other way around

Most platforms make you bend your use case to fit their template. CloudLabs flips that. Build the lab environments your courses actually need.

Configure the underlying lab infrastructure to match your course content.

  • Pick the cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Configure tools, dependencies, and environment
  • Define behavior to match your course logic

Build vs Buy

Your engineering team should not be building lab infrastructure

Every EdTech founder considers building lab infrastructure in-house at some point. Most reach the same conclusion. Lab infrastructure is not your differentiator. Your courses are.
