Real Cloud infrastructure
Real Cloud
Not Simulations

Labs run on real AWS and Databricks infrastructure — not emulators or video walkthroughs.

Instant
Launch Time

Sandboxes spin up in seconds. Participants start building, not configuring accounts or waiting for IT.

Tracked
Per-Participant

Completion, step progress, and lab scores are visible to instructors and training managers in real time.

Paired
With Training

Labs align directly to VEDNIQ instructor-led modules so concepts are applied immediately after learning.

How it works

From catalog to completed lab in minutes.

No DevOps, no accounts, no pre-work. Participants select a lab, get a live sandbox, and follow guided tasks with real-time validation and scoring.

01
Select a lab from the catalog

Choose from 60+ guided labs across AWS, Databricks, GenAI, ML, and Data Engineering — filtered by domain, difficulty, and duration.

02
Sandbox launches instantly

A pre-configured cloud environment spins up in seconds — AWS accounts, Databricks workspaces, datasets, and IAM roles fully provisioned and ready.

03
Follow guided tasks with validation

Work through structured, step-by-step instructions with contextual hints. Each step is validated automatically so participants get immediate feedback.

04
Submit for scoring and reporting

Lab outcomes, step completion, and time-on-task are scored and surfaced to instructors and training managers — exportable to LMS or HR systems.

Pay-per-lab pricing

LaaS pricing that follows actual lab usage.

Buy hands-on labs like a service, not a permanent platform. Pay for scheduled lab runs, participant access, validation, reporting, and cleanup — with no cloud account setup or infrastructure ownership.

Starter

Single Lab Run

Best for pilots, practice events, and a small cohort that needs one specific hands-on exercise.

Per participant · per lab One guided lab session with sandbox access, validation, scoring, and teardown.
  • Catalog lab access
  • Time-boxed cloud sandbox
  • Completion report
Custom

Custom Lab Build

Best when the lab must match your internal platform, data, controls, or proprietary workflow.

Scoped build · then usage Design the lab once, then run it for teams using the same pay-per-lab operating model.
  • Custom scenario design
  • Internal workflow alignment
  • Reusable lab delivery
Featured labs

High-demand labs from the current catalog.

These labs are run most frequently alongside VEDNIQ training cohorts — covering the exact skills your engineering and data teams need to apply on the job.

Lab platform

Everything built for enterprise training delivery.

Labs are designed for real enterprise cohorts — not individual self-paced learners. Instructors, managers, and training teams get full visibility.

Fully isolated sandboxes

Every participant gets their own isolated cloud environment. No shared state, no account conflicts, no risk of touching production resources.

Step-level auto-validation

Each step is validated automatically as participants complete it — no instructor grading needed. Mistakes surface in real time with contextual hints.

Instructor & manager dashboards

See cohort-level progress, stuck points, step completion rates, and individual lab scores — without interrupting participants mid-lab.

Time-boxed environments

Labs run for a defined window, then sandbox resources are cleaned up automatically. No billing risk, no orphaned resources, no manual teardown.

LMS & HR system export

Lab completion and scores export to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, or any LRS-compatible LMS for training record compliance.

Configurable difficulty & scope

Customize which steps to include, what datasets to use, and what difficulty level fits the cohort — without rebuilding labs from scratch.

Where labs fit

The strongest fit for each lab scenario.

Labs work best when paired immediately after instructor-led training — but they also stand alone for practice, assessment, and onboarding.

Post-training reinforcement

Run a lab immediately after each training module so participants apply exactly what they just learned — reducing forgetting and building confidence.

Cloud onboarding for new hires

Give new engineers structured AWS or Databricks labs in their first week — no senior engineer time required, no production access needed.

Skill validation before certifications

Use labs as a pre-certification readiness check — confirming that participants can execute the skills, not just recall them from slides.

Technical hiring assessments

Run structured, scored labs as a fairer, more realistic alternative to whiteboard interviews — candidates demonstrate actual skills on real infrastructure.

FAQs

Questions buyers ask before a Labs demo.

Do participants need AWS or Databricks accounts?

No. VEDNIQ Labs provisions fully isolated sandbox environments for each participant. No personal or corporate accounts, no IAM setup, no billing exposure — everything is managed within the lab platform.

Can labs run alongside or after VEDNIQ training sessions?

Yes — that's the primary design intent. Labs are mapped directly to VEDNIQ instructor-led modules. You can schedule them to run the same day as the session, the following morning, or as standalone practice in the week after training.

How are lab results shared with training managers?

Instructors and managers get a cohort dashboard with per-participant completion status, step-level progress, time-on-task, and a scored outcome. Results export to LMS, Workday, or SuccessFactors in standard formats.

Can you build a lab for our internal platform or proprietary tooling?

Yes. Custom lab builds are available for teams that need labs on internal platforms, specific cloud setups, or proprietary toolchains. Contact us to scope requirements and timeline.

How does pay-per-lab pricing work?

You pay for each scheduled participant lab run rather than buying a permanent lab platform. The billable unit maps to actual usage: the selected lab, the participant sandbox window, validation, reporting, and automatic cleanup.

Can VEDNIQ Labs be used without instructor-led training?

Yes. Labs can run standalone for onboarding, technical hiring, certification readiness, practice days, or internal skill validation. They can also be bundled directly into VEDNIQ training programs.

What is included in each lab run?

Each run includes guided instructions, an isolated sandbox, required datasets or services, automated validation, progress tracking, scored outcomes, reporting, and teardown after the lab window closes.

Do you support cohort discounts or lab bundles?

Yes. For enterprise batches, VEDNIQ can bundle multiple lab runs across a cohort so pricing follows the training plan while still staying usage-based and transparent.
