Why EdTechs 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.
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.
Pay-as-you-go pricing, save-states, idle-VM detection, and per-program controls. Per-learner unit economics that work at any scale.
Full white-labelling, custom domain, LMS integration. Learners stay inside your brand. CloudLabs runs underneath, by design.
The Pitch In One Line
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.
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.
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.
LTI 1.1 and 1.3 integration with Moodle, Canvas, and any standards-based LMS. REST API for everything else. Labs live where your learners already do.
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
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.
Browser-based labs from any device. No installs, no plug-ins, no IT tickets.
LTI 1.1 and 1.3 support. Plug into Moodle, Canvas, or any standards-based LMS.
Instructors and admins connect into learner VMs in real time for live oversight and coaching.
A dedicated team available around the clock, 365 days a year, for any lab-related query.
Power BI dashboards covering deployments, active and idle labs, and per-learner cost.
Your dedicated portal at your URL, not a generic CloudLabs subdomain. Learners only ever see your brand.
Run cloud-based labs on AWS, Azure, GCP, or your own cloud. Whatever the course requires.
Per-learner dedicated machines, or multi-session shared VMs. Choose by course economics.
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001:2022. Procurement signs off without slowing your roll-out.
Customization
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.
Build vs Buy
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.
| Build In-House DIY | Run On CloudLabs Recommended Build vs Buy | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first lab | 6 to 12 months | 2 to 4 weeks via guided POC |
| Engineering team needed | 3 to 5 dedicated engineers | Zero. Our team handles it |
| Multi-cloud expertise | Hire AWS, Azure, GCP specialists | Built into the platform |
| Reliability and on-call | Your engineering rotation | 24/7/365 support team included |
| Compliance certifications | SOC 2, GDPR, ISO from scratch | SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, ISO 27001:2022 |
| Roadmap impact | Pulls focus from your core product | Zero distraction |
| Per-learner cost predictability | Variable, hard to forecast | Pay-as-you-go, transparent |
Economics
Companies using CloudLabs have reported saving up to 80% on lab costs. Most lab platforms quote like enterprise software. CloudLabs is priced for the unit economics of online learning, with controls that make per-learner cost predictable at any scale.
Transparent pricing model where you only pay for the active lab environments.
Schedule automatic lab VM deletion as an admin after a set period to eliminate charges for unused resources.
Mitigate unnecessary expenses by enabling idle lab detection to automatically stop idle VMs.
Reduce your storage costs by selecting the appropriate storage size and type for VM disks and images.
CloudLabs lets you purchase cloud passes or credits covering all your lab costs. You can use them across different cloud providers and geographical regions.
Brand Control
Learners never see CloudLabs. They see your product, doing more. Invisible by design. From the URL the learner lands on to the logo on the lab portal to the LMS the labs are embedded inside, every surface stays yours.
Your URL, not a CloudLabs subdomain.
Your logo, colors, and typography end to end.
Embed inside Moodle, Canvas, or your platform.
Programmatic provisioning inside your workflows.
