A core aspect of beCloudReady's offering is its fixed-price model, which includes auto-shutdown and cleanup features to prevent unexpected cloud charges after a training cohort concludes. Each learner operates within an isolated, scoped sandbox, and all lab environments and learner data are securely deleted post-delivery, addressing privacy concerns. The labs are preconfigured and thoroughly tested before each session, allowing instructors to concentrate on teaching rather than troubleshooting technical environments.
Unlike SaaS lab platforms that rent infrastructure and content slots, beCloudReady engineers custom-built infrastructure that clients own and can re-run. They utilize tools like Terraform and tailor IAM policies to the client's specific technology stack. For AI workloads, they integrate neo-cloud GPUs, which often offer cost advantages over hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, or GCP, especially for cohort training requiring significant GPU time. However, they can also use hyperscalers if required for security or compliance.
beCloudReady offers flexibility in delivery; they can design and ship the lab for the client to run with provided instructor walkthroughs, or they can provide trainers from their network for delivery. Most engagements involve handing off the lab, enabling the customer's team to own and repeat deliveries. The typical timeline for scoping to a ready-to-deliver lab is a single day, accommodating both small scoped projects and large multi-cohort training programs with custom IAM scoping.
Their expertise extends to various platforms, including AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Lambda Labs, Shadeform, and RunPod, ensuring vendor-neutral solutions based on economic sense for the cohort. Examples of their custom labs include AML Practice Labs for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Managed Kubernetes Labs, and Self-Contained AWS Accounts with budget and service controls. These labs are built for production use in real training programs, tested end-to-end, and designed to scale from small workshops of 5 students to large programs of 500.
