Cloud sandbox environments
Show them the real thing, on demand
A cloud sandbox environment gives every prospect, learner, and attendee a working copy of your product and everything around it, running inside Instruqt. Nothing to install. Nothing to set up.

HOW IT WORKS
Run the whole product, not a slice of it
A cloud-based sandbox is the full environment your product needs, created once and started on demand. Here's what that gets you.
01 · BUILD
Show your product in its real context
Your product looks best next to the things it works with. Put the cluster, the services around it, and the cloud accounts it talks to in the same environment, so a prospect sees it doing the job they'd hire it for.
AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud accounts, containers, and Kubernetes in one environment
Terraform provisions the infrastructure your product expects to find
Everything starts together, in the right order

02 · CONNECT
Start clean, every time
No leftover state, no hand-edited config, no “it worked yesterday.” Credentials, config files, and passwords are generated for each session, so what a learner gets is exactly what you built.
Secrets and credentials injected, never hardcoded
Config files and passwords generated on the spot
Runs in the browser with copy-paste. Nothing to install

03 · VALIDATE
See how every prospect actually engaged
Every session leaves a record: who opened the lab, what they came back to, how they engaged. That activity writes back to Salesforce and HubSpot, so sales follows up on what a prospect did, not on whether they downloaded a PDF.
Lab opens, revisits, and invitations tracked per prospect

Sales and marketing see it where they already work

THE DIFFERENCE
The Instruqt Difference Version control that teams can actually review.
Instruqt does not add another place to manage lab content. It brings labs under the same control as your code.
The traditional approach
A shared demo environment, reset by hand between calls.
Prospects install prerequisites before they see anything work.
Setup logic in scripts only one engineer can change.
When it breaks, you dig through raw output while they wait.
With Instruqt Sandbox Environments
A new environment on demand, the same every time.
Opens in the browser. Nothing to install.
Everything defined in one place the whole team can read.
Validate first, and see exactly what failed when it does.

Teams use versioned labs to ship demos, training and developer content faster — without stepping on each other.

Let prospects run it, not watch it
A demo in a real environment answers the question a slide can't: does this work with what we already have?
A new environment for every prospect, no shared instance
Show your product alongside the tools they already use
Self-serve POCs that don't need an SE on every call

Try it without installing anything
Developers evaluate by doing. Give them a working environment in the browser and let the product make the case.
No local setup, no prerequisites
Run it inside your docs and tutorials
Build the environment once, use it across every piece of content
Learn more
Teach on the real thing
Everyone learns in the same environment, so the lesson is about your product, not about whose laptop is misconfigured.
Identical environments for every learner
Realistic setups: clusters, services, and networks, not a toy version
Tasks check the work inside the environment
Learn more
Run a full room without the laptop triage
Attendees open a browser and start. No prerequisites list, no install steps to debug while the clock runs.
Everyone starts at the same time, on the same setup
Nothing to install, nothing to troubleshoot
Sized to the session with CPU, memory, and GPU limits

“Instruqt has become a go-to standard for us — and really for the industry — when it comes to delivering safe, scalable, hands-on environments.”
Nigel Douglas
Head of Developer Relations, Cloudsmith
“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
Is each learner isolated from other learners and from our production systems?
Networks are isolated by design: only the pieces you attach to one can talk over it. Cloud accounts are temporary and torn down when a session ends or times out, so nothing touches your production accounts
We have existing labs. Do we have to rebuild them?
No. Legacy and 2.0 run side by side, existing labs keep working, and there's no forced migration. Legacy is supported until 27 September 2027. Migration tooling launches at GA, and pricing doesn't change.
Doesn't running real infrastructure for every learner get expensive?
You decide how big each environment is, and cloud accounts are torn down when a session ends. A Forrester Total Economic Impact study commissioned by Instruqt (March 2024) found a 244% ROI for its composite organization, including $2.1M in platform setup savings over three years. That's a modeled composite, not a customer result.
Can I deploy with Helm, or put a service behind a real URL?
Not at the 29 September launch. Helm, Ingress, Sidecar containers, Certificates, Nomad, HTTP request resources, and Copy are post-GA. Today, setup commands, Terraform, and Kubernetes clusters cover most of that ground.
How is this different from a sandbox environment in the general sense?
A sandbox environment is any isolated place to run software safely. Instruqt's cloud sandbox is a full, on-demand copy of your product's real infrastructure, built for demos, training, and POCs rather than for testing code in isolation.
