Comment on Hosting virtualbox for my students

There are not benefits in the cloud solution over the hosted server. It could even be more expensive on the long run…
And yes, kasm has a cloud solution in its web page

The benefit is that it way easier to manage since you don’t have to worry about physical hardware or even operating systems.
I get that it could easily be to expensive but it might not be bad with educational discounts.

Got it.
But looking that the question has been posted in a selfhosted thread I don’t see the recomendation of the cloud solution :)

This is honestly out of the scope of this community

Honestly I totally disagree, this community is about avoiding SaaS and controlling the important part of the stack to keep your own data under control.
If the service you need is just a provider of vm for your own business, is not a contradiction and it is still selfhosted as long as you control it.
