An Alternative to Azure Labs

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/lab-services/

While Azure Labs is designed to facilitate self-study VM environments, DaDesktop is purpose-built to support both instructor-led online sessions and independent learning.

DaDesktop enables seamless communication between participants and trainers through a dedicated Course VPN.

The platform also supports the recording of sessions for future review.

Additionally, DaDesktop allows users to capture desktop snapshots and restore them as needed.
