The possibility to create lab challenges result in giving a student a clear goal to achieve. It provides more possibilities compared to the standard labs environment, which improves the learning experience. Been using it now for multiple years with satisfaction of our (training) customers

Instruqt allows us to quickly and easily create labs for various use cases. These include labs for self-learning, guided trainings, demos or even proof-of-concepts. During the evaluation of other competing products, it quickly became clear that this number of use cases is only possible with Instruqt. In addition to the wide range of use cases, it was the only provider that understood GitOps. We create and maintain all labs with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and version them in Git. The integration feels very natural. Maintaining the labs with IaC in Git has the great advantage that they are versioned, we reuse the same components between different labs and thus all labs can be updated to the latest software version very easily. But that's not all - thanks to automated tests, we can also ensure that the labs are not broken by the update. To quickly create a lab without writing code, you can also click together and configure everything in the user interface. We currently use Instruqt to start a Kubernetes environment and deploy the workload. It works great. During the evaluation, we checked whether classic virtual machines can also be started, which have individual software on them (no standard linux). And yes, the test was successful. We can imagine expanding our labs for this purpose in the future. From a business perspective, Instruqt is also a very interesting solution. On the one hand, we don't need any knowledge of a hyper scaler (AWS, Azure, GCP, ...) and can concentrate our know-how on our labs. In addition, we can see who (if this information is requested), when and how often the labs have been carried out. This gives us new opportunities to learn about our users and potential customers.

It's a well thought out, commercial alternative of interactive learning platforms. There are others out there but this one is the best I've seen so far. They make it very easy to implement learning solutions for your customers, particularly if you have a somewhat complex environment to integrate with.
