Risk-Free Cloud Labs for Schools & Educators
A complete simulated cloud platform where students practice AWS and Azure — without real accounts, credit cards, or surprise bills. Safe, scalable, and built for the classroom.
Why Cloud Labs Are Hard for Schools
Real cloud environments sound great in theory. In practice, they create headaches.
Unexpected Costs
One student forgets an EC2 instance running over the weekend — and you get a bill for thousands.
Credit Card Requirements
Every cloud platform requires a credit card. Many students don't have one — especially in vocational and adult education.
Account Management Nightmare
Each student needs their own AWS or Azure account. Managing 30+ accounts with IAM roles and credentials is an administrative burden.
Quota Limits
Free tier limits rarely cover an entire class. When quotas are hit, teaching comes to a halt.
MentorLabs Cloud — Simulated AWS & Azure
Students log into a familiar cloud console — but nothing runs on real infrastructure. Same experience, zero risk.
S3 Storage
Create buckets, upload files, set bucket policies, and enable versioning — just like real S3.
EC2 Instances
Launch virtual servers, choose AMIs, configure security groups and key pairs.
IAM Policies & Roles
Create users, groups, and roles. Write JSON policies and test them directly in the simulator.
VPC Networking
Build virtual networks with subnets, route tables, Internet Gateways and NAT.
Lambda Serverless
Create Lambda functions with S3, API Gateway, and DynamoDB triggers.
DynamoDB & RDS
Create tables, configure keys, and simulate database throughput.
Self-Paced Lessons That Guide Students
Built-in step-by-step exercises connected directly to the simulator. Each lesson has a clear learning objective.
AWS 101: Your First EC2 Instance
Launch a virtual server, configure a security group, and connect via SSH. Learn EC2 basics in 20 minutes.
Azure 101: Your First VM
Create a Resource Group, deploy a virtual machine, and open ports in an NSG.
IAM Policies for Real
Write JSON policies, test them, and see evaluation results. Understand least privilege through practice.
Build a VPC Network
Create subnets, route tables, and an Internet Gateway. Place EC2 instances in different subnets.
Serverless with Lambda
Create a Lambda function, connect to API Gateway, and test the endpoint.
Azure Storage & Cosmos DB
Create a Storage Account, upload blobs, and create a Cosmos DB database with consistency levels.
For Educators: Reports & Progress Tracking
MentorLabs Cloud isn't just a simulator — it's a pedagogical tool that gives you insight into every student's progress.
Progress Reports
See exactly which exercises each student has completed, how long they took, and which quiz questions they passed.
Group Overview
Get a heatmap of your entire class. See which topics are working and which need more time — before the exam.
Auto-Graded Quizzes
Every lesson quiz is graded automatically. See per-question statistics to identify knowledge gaps.
Exportable Data
All reports can be exported to CSV or PDF — for documentation, grading, or quality compliance.
Built for Schools
MentorLabs Cloud is designed to fit the reality of educational institutions.
