DaDesktop: An Alternative to Azure Lab

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/lab-services/

Azure Labs was built to simplify VM lab setups for self-directed learning. DaDesktop, on the other hand, is crafted to deliver both instructor-led online training and self-paced courses.

With DaDesktop, trainers and participants can link their desktops securely through a dedicated Course VPN.

The platform supports session recording and subsequent review.

Users can capture desktop snapshots and later restore from those points.
