Can Open edX support hands-on cloud labs through native mode or plugins/extensions?

Hi, we are planning a project with a core LMS with the hands-on cloud labs support, for example, to provide a virtual programming lab, or one set of virtual machines with big data lab setup. Is it possible for Open Edx to support it through integration or plugins/extension? (similar to coursera hands-on project provided by Rhyme Softworks.)

I checked out Open Edx Studio but didn’t find a way to support it. Any hints or ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!

@kayaliu Are you asking if there are existing integrations, or whether you can develop one? If it’s the later, Open edX does support a variety of integration and plugin/extension methods, which are described there:

Yes, this definitely exists, and is being constantly developed. Please take a look at this:

The README should be good resource to get started, but if we can help out with any questions, please let us know. Thank you!

Thanks. will take a look on it.

Thanks. it’s really helpful. Will take a look and let you know if any question.

If you’d like to see this in action, please feel free to enroll in one of our free courses, such as https://academy.citycloud.com/cc216 (assuming you’re interested in learning Kubernetes). :slight_smile:
