The support for Nested Templates will ensure that the deployments are easy and straightforward for all the scenarios in Azure.

The overall lab duration can be split according to the course duration. A 3-hour lab can be split across three months limiting usage of 1 hour per month. The uptime will automatically replenish after 30 days. Course admins can schedule the uptime to align with their courses/ODLS. It improves cost efficiency and reduces the manual effort for VM Uptime extension.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 supports and promotes the protection of privacy and reasonable governance of student education records.

Instructors can decide credit thresholds which is the percentage of resource consumption based on which notifications will be triggered.

The VM Uptime feature enables admins to set the VM Uptime at the ODL Level. If the VM uptime is set at 40 minutes for an 8-hour lab, once the attendees lab VM runs for 40 minutes, it will be shut down by CloudLabs. If attendees wish to extend the VM uptime, they should reach out to the instructor. This feature helps optimize the cost of running a lab.

Instructors can monitor the attendee environment and help them fix their issues without using their credentials. Instructors can also use their credentials to monitor the attendee's cloud environments.

Some companies have security constraints which blocks them from accessing Machines using the Remote Desktop Protocol. To overcome this, CloudLabs supports VM access over HTTPS enabling users to access their lab VMs through any browser of their choice.
