Technology teams need experience – not just training. Safely provide experience working in real-life cloud and coding environments. With labs to learn brand-new skills, labs to practice skills in the cloud services or codebases you use, and labs to test mastery through real-world scenarios. Now with Lab Maker!
Our labs teach users cloud and coding skills, then test learners with missions (like deliver a database with millisecond latency) that reveal their proven proficiency level.
Our 1000+ labs bridge the gap between learning platform and cloud account. Simply login with our secure credentials, follow instructions and we provide step-by-step validation on your success.
Save on costs, maintenance, and risks. Labs are included in all Cloud Academy subscriptions, and they scale for unlimited sessions. Practice in the cloud or on coding without running up bills or risks.
100% of G2 reviewers recommend our labs. Why? Because our labs actually let people know if the task was completed correctly in production. And managers get realtime results on production-ready skills.
Labs are Cloud Academy’s interactive learning tool to practice and test skills in coding environments and cloud consoles. Users get real-world experience in live cloud providers, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. And they cover related technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Python, Java, and more.
The Hands-on Labs and training content are all worth the price of admission and translate into both career and business growth. The value of the experience is second to none.

Secure SSH connections. Use a remote desktop to safely access cloud environments from anywhere.
Practice computer programming languages, frameworks, and libraries. Hybrid coding/cloud labs are also available for users working with cloud technology.
We offer Coding Labs that are a place to practice and assess a student’s programming skills, where they complete coding exercises and challenges to showcase their proficiency in programming languages, frameworks, and libraries.
Then we have Cloud Labs that are a place to practice and assess a student’s cloud technology-related skills. They put learners in real-world scenarios to follow guided exercises and solve challenges in a cloud environment.
Lastly, we offer Hybrid code and cloud labs that allow learners to learn in coding and cloud environments simultaneously for practical situations.
Yes! Organizations may build their own labs and/or clone and customize labs with our Lab Maker feature. You can create simple cloud labs and sandboxes. Cloud Academy also offers the ability to provide customized labs as a service.
No, and why should you? We believe that hands-on learning is critical for job readiness especially for teams that touch mission-critical applications and infrastructure. So our labs are always included at no cost. All credentials and environments are provided on your behalf.
Yes and no. Yes, we do provide sandboxes (playgrounds) with security restrictions in place. In most cases, these are sufficient for customer use. And yes, we are able to provide open sandboxes (without limits) pending a shared responsibility model. However, open sandboxes lack any safeguards against cryptominining and other illicit or costly activities, so we require all customers to share the responsibility for such sandbox accounts.
