Build job-ready AWS, Linux, DevOps, and Windows skills with 220+ guided labs on real cloud infrastructure. Our vision: describe the lab you need in plain language and let CloudKida's AI agent build it on demand (in development).
Overview
CloudKida - Hands-on Cloud & IT Labs, evolving into AI-created, on-demand labs
Learn by doing on real cloud infrastructure - not simulations. And soon, create the exact lab you need just by describing it.
Today, CloudKida gives you a growing library of 220+ ready-to-run, guided labs across AWS, Linux, DevOps, and Windows - all on real cloud accounts and live servers. Our bigger goal, already in active development, is on-demand lab creation powered by agentic AI.
Flagship Direction: AI-Powered On-Demand Lab Creation (in development)
Most platforms give you a fixed catalog. CloudKida is building something different: an agentic AI that lets you describe a lab scenario in plain language - e.g. "a CI/CD pipeline deploying a container to AWS" - then interacts with you to refine it and generates a complete, ready-to-use lab: the environment, the step-by-step guide, and the hands-on exercise, provisioned on real infrastructure.
This is where CloudKida is headed: not just offering online labs, but letting you create the lab you actually need, on demand - matched to your skill gap, project, or certification goal.
Status: This is our north-star capability, under active development and testing - not yet generally available. The 220+ labs below are available today.
Available Today - Real Infrastructure, Growing Daily
- AWS Cloud Labs (57+): IAM, EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudFormation, API Gateway, serverless, and more - on real, isolated AWS accounts provisioned on demand.
- Linux & DevOps Labs (90+): RHCSA-style administration, shell scripting, storage/networking, plus Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible - on live servers, including browser-based GUI (desktop) labs.
- Windows Labs (14+): Windows Server, Active Directory, and enterprise administration.
The library grows daily. GCP and Azure labs are on the roadmap; the platform's control plane runs on AWS.
Why CloudKida?
- Real infrastructure, real skills - actual cloud accounts and live servers, not sandboxed demos.
- 100% browser-based - no client setup, downloads, or agents; works on any device.
- 24/7 access and a growing community of 3,500+ learners.
- Measurable progress - automated grading with per-user history on labs where it matters, plus learner star ratings.
- Start in minutes - pick a lab, launch it, and practice immediately.
Pricing - Simple and Usage-Based
- Subscribe free on AWS Marketplace - no mandatory subscription fee.
- Pay per lab using credits, priced by the real cloud resources each lab provisions - you pay for what you use.
- Free labs let you experience the platform before spending anything, with more added over time.
How It Works
- Subscribe on AWS Marketplace (free to start).
- Create your account - you're directed to the CloudKida sign-up page.
- Start with free labs right away.
- Run paid labs with credits - purchase online; each lab has a defined credit cost.
- Build skills through guided, real-environment exercises with built-in grading.
Security, Access & Teams
- Isolated per user, with on-demand, least-privilege AWS accounts and short-lived, lab-scoped credentials; infrastructure is created automatically per session and cleaned up afterward via a tracked automated process (with alerting and manual fallback).
- Reviewed before release: labs are validated for errors and security and promoted from development to production; any lab can be disabled if an issue is found.
- Flexible sign-in: username/password, SSO, optional MFA, and SAML / web-identity integration.
- For teams: dedicated multi-tenant workspaces - admins provision users via SSO/SAML or CSV and control lab access with policies; user scope stays within the tenant.
Note: CloudKida does not currently hold formal certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR attestations.
Who It's For
Cloud engineers and administrators, Linux/DevOps professionals (containers, Kubernetes, automation), Windows/AD administrators, students and career changers building resume-ready experience, and teams upskilling staff with centrally managed lab access.
Start building real cloud and IT skills today with 220+ hands-on labs - and be first to experience AI-powered, on-demand lab creation as it rolls out. Available as a SaaS product on AWS Marketplace.

Dimensions summary
This listing has one pricing dimension: Free (default). You pay nothing to access it. There are no tiers, usage add-ons, or instance sizes to compare. The single Free dimension covers your use of the hands-on cloud and IT training labs. Within these labs, some scenarios run at no credit cost while others draw credits for the time you spend practicing. Because the Marketplace dimension itself is free, pricing does not scale by quantity or term here.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The Free dimension gives you access to the hands-on cloud and IT training labs with no Marketplace charge. You run labs in real cloud environments with no setup required. Lab categories include cloud platforms, containers, Linux, security, and programming scenarios.
Credits apply inside the labs, not through the Marketplace dimension. Some labs run at no credit cost. Others draw a set number of credits based on the scenario and practice time. New sign-ups receive free credits to start practicing.
Each lab lists its own credit cost separately from its time estimate. A longer lab is not automatically more credits. Costs range from free up to several thousand credits per lab, depending on the services and complexity involved. Free labs draw no credits regardless of duration.
