Cloud Training Lab

[Karl12347]

I am an server administrator for my company and need to upgrade my certifications.

Generally in the past I have used vmware workstation for previous training, however I like the idea of having a lab of servers setup in the cloud rather than having physical hardware at home. I have tried amazon and azure but these are quite expensive options.

Is there any alternatives for cloud hosted training labs at reduced cost without the expensive of production SLA environments the bigger companies provide.

generally wanting to run a few server 2012 servers and maybe a Linux server

I don't think you will find what you are looking for without quite a bit of cost.

Hyper-V is built into windows 8 professional and works really well. You will need RAM and a few hard disks if you want to run a few at the same time.
