Infrastructure on Demand
Configure lab environments around your topology. Choose your cloud, set dependencies, and define environment behavior.
Azure Lab Services is retiring. CloudLabs is the Microsoft-recommended alternative – Move your labs
CloudLabs enables organizations to deliver hands-on IT labs at scale without the complexity of managing physical infrastructure. Build, deploy, and share fully managed lab environments for training, testing, certification readiness, workforce enablement, and custom use cases, without purchasing hardware, making capital investments, or managing dedicated lab infrastructure.

Users can launch and access lab environments through a web browser without requiring local software installation.
Deploy labs on VMware, Hyper-V, or other supported virtualization platforms within your environment.
Create reusable lab templates, capture snapshots, and quickly restore environments between sessions.
Manage users, permissions, lab assignments, and infrastructure resources from a single administrative interface.
Track infrastructure utilization, lab consumption, system performance, and resource allocation across environments.
Reduce manual setup effort through automated environment deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management.
WORKLOADS AND ENVIRONMENT TYPES
Create the infrastructure environments your teams need for hands-on learning, testing, certification readiness, and technical enablement. From individual virtual machines to complete multi-system environments, CloudLabs helps you build and manage the workloads that matter most to your organization.
Build Windows-based lab environments for training, testing, certification, and workforce enablement.
Create Linux environments that support administration, infrastructure, DevOps, and technical learning scenarios.
Deploy multi-machine environments with the virtualization, networking, and storage components required for real-world infrastructure scenarios.
Run applications that require dedicated servers, services, databases, or supporting infrastructure to operate.
Deploy software appliances and pre-configured systems used for product training, demonstrations, and hands-on learning.
Create realistic environments that replicate operational scenarios, troubleshooting exercises, and hands-on practice activities.
CloudLabs vs DIY
Many teams try to build and manage their own lab environments. Here is how that approach compares with a fully managed CloudLabs deployment.
| CloudLabs Hands-on Labs | DIY Product Environments | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Pre-configured or quickly customizable environments | Requires manual setup for each environment |
| Scalability | Supports small batches to tens of thousands of users | Scaling needs extra infrastructure planning and effort |
| Environment consistency | Standardized environments across all users | Variations likely across setups and sessions |
| User access | Browser-based, no installation required | Often needs local setup, VPNs, or credential management |
| Multi-VM and complex setups | Supports multi-VM, real-world configurations | Complex to design, deploy, and maintain |
| Lab guides and workflow control | Integrated step-by-step guides and completion tracking | Needs separate documentation and manual tracking |
| Automation | Built-in automation for deployment, reset, and cloning | Requires scripting and ongoing maintenance |
| Cost management | Budget caps, idle detection, and auto-shutdown built in | Harder to monitor and optimize resource usage |
| Instructor support | Shadow VM for real-time monitoring and assistance | Limited visibility into user environments |
| Integration | LMS integration via LTI, APIs, and custom portals | Requires custom development and integration work |
| Maintenance effort | Fully managed by the CloudLabs platform | Requires dedicated internal resources |
| Time to launch | Minutes to hours | Days to weeks, depending on complexity |
| Reliability | Built for consistent performance across sessions | Depends on internal infrastructure and setup quality |
