How long does it take to provision a lab VM?

Lab VMs are ready in approximately 3–5 minutes after you click Create. Students can register and receive SSH credentials immediately once the VM is running.

Do students need to install anything?

No. Students connect via a built-in browser terminal — no SSH client, no VPN, no downloads required.

What happens to the VMs after class?

Student accounts and the VM are automatically deleted 4 hours after creation. You can also manually terminate the session at any time from the admin dashboard.

What cloud provider does LabSpin use?

LabSpin provisions VMs on your own cloud subscription using your credentials. You keep full control of your cloud spend.

LabSpin is free to use during early access. You pay only for the cloud compute you consume in your own subscription.

Free during early access

Your entire class, SSH-ready in 4 minutes. You teach. We provision.

Stop spending the first 45 minutes of every class on setup. LabSpin provisions a fresh cloud VM for every student — Docker, Python, and Node.js pre-loaded — before they even open their laptops.

Running hands-on labs shouldn't take the first hour of class

💸

Forgotten VMs, Real Bills

Leftover VMs running overnight because cleanup was manual. A single forgotten VM costs ~$60/month of idle compute.

🕐

Hours of Setup

Creating individual VM accounts, handing out credentials, debugging SSH configs for 30 students. Instructors report losing 30–60 min of class time per session.

🔧

Inconsistent Environments

Students on different OS versions, missing packages, and broken dependencies — guaranteed mid-class fire drill.

One link. One click. Every student, ready to code.

Create a Session

Choose VM size and software, click Create.

Share the Link

Students open it, enter their name and email, get credentials in seconds.

Class ends. VMs vanish.

VMs and accounts are deleted after 4 hours. No leftovers, no surprises.
