Using Kyndryl Cloud Uplift for training classes
Kyndryl Cloud Uplift provides several options for creating and managing virtual training lab environments:
Use native Kyndryl Cloud Uplift features to create lab environments
Use Kyndryl Cloud Uplift built-in features like templates, schedules, and sharing portals to create, manage, and share lab environments.
For guidance, see our best practice articles:
- Choosing an environment architecture and remote access method
- Creating class lab environments
- Best practices for preparing student VMs
- Preparing for and delivering a training class
Use Course Manager to automate lab delivery
Course Manager is an add-on product for virtual training customers. It has a dedicated web interface for:
- Automatically provisioning, running, and deleting lab environments based on class schedules you define.
- Performing the bulk operations needed to create multiple lab environments from the same template and add student access.
- Reusing the same template, VM permissions, and custom content settings for multiple classes.
Add Kyndryl Cloud Uplift lab environments to your LMS
Build your own integration with our robust REST API.
