Alternative to Azure Lab
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/lab-services/
Azure Labs was built to facilitate self-paced virtual machine labs. DaDesktop, on the other hand, was designed to support both instructor-led online training and independent study.
With DaDesktop, trainers and attendees can connect their desktops securely via the built-in Course VPN.
Sessions can be recorded and later reviewed, making it easy to revisit key moments.
The platform also makes it simple to capture snapshots and roll back to earlier states when needed.
