Disposable cloud accounts
Deliver real cloud environments on demand
A disposable cloud environment is a temporary AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud account that Instruqt creates for each learner, pre-configured for your lab, and destroys when the lab ends. Real infrastructure without the provisioning, the cleanup, or the exposure.

HOW IT WORKS
Focus on the demo, not the account
You describe the cloud account once, as part of the lab's cloud sandbox environment. Instruqt creates a fresh one for every learner and removes it when they're done.
01 · BUILD
Skip the setup. Start at the value.
Avoid building environments by hand before every session. Define the account's starting state once, alongside the rest of the lab, and every learner lands in a cloud account that already holds the resources your story depends on.

Starting state built with Terraform from a registry
Team secrets injected as Secrets, never written into content

02 · CONNECT
Learners work in their own account, right away
Avoid the email thread of credentials and the shared login everyone trips over. Each learner gets their own isolated account, and its credentials appear in a tab inside the lab, next to the instructions, terminal, and virtual browser. They read a step and do it in the same window, without leaving the lab or waiting on your team.

03 · VALIDATE
Nothing left running when the lab ends
Avoid the cleanup checklist and the surprise bill. When a lab completes or its time runs out, Instruqt destroys the account and everything in it, so no instance keeps running and no credential stays live. And when a setup step fails, the logs experience shows you why, while validate catches broken resource references before any learner sees the lab.

THE DIFFERENCE
The Instruqt Difference Version control that teams can actually review.
Instruqt does not add another place to manage lab content. It brings lab definitions under the same control as your code.
The traditional approach
One shared company account for every demo, workshop, and prospect.
An engineer builds each environment by hand before the session can start.
Credentials passed around by email or chat, then hunted for mid-session.
Cleanup is a reminder on someone's calendar, and the bill keeps running until then.
With Instruqt Disposable Cloud Accounts
A separate, isolated account per learner on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
The starting state is defined once and provisioned for every learner on demand.
Credentials appear in a tab inside the lab, right beside the instructions.
The account is torn down automatically when the lab completes or times out.

Turn a POC into a proof of value
Prospects work through your product in a live cloud account instead of a slide deck.
Prospects start in an account already set up for your story
No shared demo environment, so nothing from the last call leaks into this one
Isovalent accelerated its sales cycle with hands-on labs for prospects

Run a room of learners on real infrastructure
Everyone gets their own cloud account the moment the lab starts, and it's gone when the workshop is.
HashiCorp offloaded creation and management of cloud enablement sandboxes to Instruqt
Accounts expire with the session, so post-event cleanup is already done
Learners work in a familiar cloud environment, not a simulation

Teach customers in the cloud they'll actually use
New users practice in a real account that matches their stack, with mistakes contained to the lab.
Onboarding labs run on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
Each learner's account is isolated, so errors never reach shared systems
Teardown on completion keeps training from becoming a standing cloud bill

Let developers try the real thing, anywhere
Drop a lab into your docs, site, or campaign page and every visitor gets a live cloud account.
Embeddable labs put a real cloud environment inside your own pages
One isolated account per visitor, nothing to install
Accounts expire on completion, so a public lab never becomes an open bill

"Instruqt offers a single place to show customers a proof of concept or a full-blown educational lab without needing to manually manage cloud credentials."

“In less than a year on Instruqt we’ve gone from one workshop to over 25 labs, with the same small team of sales engineers. Instead of ten workshops at 25 attendees each, we run one and reach 400 customers at a time.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does a disposable cloud environment work?
You define the account once, as part of the lab. When a learner starts, Instruqt provisions a fresh, isolated account for them on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, pre-configured with the resources you declared. Their credentials appear in a tab inside the lab. When the lab completes or times out, the account and everything in it are destroyed. See cloud accounts in the glossary.
Can a learner reach anything in our own cloud environment?
No. Each learner gets a temporary account that is isolated from your production environments, and it is destroyed when the lab ends. Your team's own secrets are injected as Secret resources rather than written into the lab.
What happens to resources and credentials when a session ends?
They're destroyed. When a lab completes or its time runs out, Instruqt tears down the account and every resource in it, and the credentials stop working. Nothing keeps running or billing.
We built our cloud labs on the previous version of Instruqt. Do we have to rebuild them?
No. There is no forced migration. Existing labs keep working, legacy Instruqt is supported until 27 September 2027, and migration tooling launches with 2.0 general availability on 29 September 2026. Pricing does not change at GA. When you do move, cloud accounts are declared in HCL alongside the rest of the sandbox.
