It’s the enterprise-grade solution for teaching cloud, data, and analytics skills at scale — with zero infrastructure overhead.
Provide instant, browser-based access to the world’s leading cloud and data platforms:
Native Console Experience – Learners work directly in AWS, Azure, GCP, and Databricks consoles — never limited simulations.
Broad Service Access – Enable exactly what your curriculum requires, from EC2 and S3 to Azure Functions, Google BigQuery, Databricks notebooks, clusters, and jobs.
Customizable Environments – Pre-configure cloud accounts or Databricks workspaces with specific resources, datasets, and startup scripts.
No Credit Card Needed – Remove the biggest barrier to entry for learners, ensuring equitable access for all.
Teach with confidence using robust guardrails that prevent unexpected costs and security risks across all supported platforms:
Set hard spending limits per student, lab, or course.
Define session lengths and automate cleanup of resources and workspaces.
Provide only the necessary services, actions, or Databricks workspace roles.
Maintain visibility into every learner action for security, compliance, and assessment.
Vocareum provides the educational foundation to not only enable learning but also to measure it effectively:
Single-click access and grade passback to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and more.
Validate cloud resources, Databricks workspace configurations, and notebook outputs against a rubric.
View learner progress and assist them live.
Manage roles for instructors, TAs, and students via enterprise SSO (SAML 2.0).

They are 100% the real, native consoles for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Databricks. Vocareum acts as the secure management and orchestration layer on top of these platforms.
We enforce strict, automated governance. Instructors set hard budget limits, and our system monitors usage continuously — automatically terminating resources or workspaces when limits are exceeded.
Those programs are designed for individual exploration. Vocareum Cloud Labs is an enterprise-grade instructional platform with centralized management, LMS integration, automated grading, and cost controls for the entire class.
Absolutely. You can pre-load specific cloud resources, Databricks notebooks, datasets, IAM roles, or policies to align with your lesson plan.
We support LTI 1.3 for LMS integration and SAML 2.0 for enterprise SSO, enabling secure, seamless access for your organization.
