The self-service cloud sandbox, opened to learners.
A multi-tenant cloud lab platform on Ultiblob's Flint, MI Proxmox cluster. Provision VMs, networks, and storage in one click. Hands-on training for cloud, networking, security, AI infrastructure, and MSP engineering.
Four layers. Simultaneously enforced.
A single-layer failure does not expose one tenant to another. Inter-tenant traffic is impossible at the data plane, not just policy.
Identity
Per-tenant Proxmox pool + ACL'd user. You see only your pool — nothing else exists from your point of view.
Network
Per-tenant VXLAN VNET in a dedicated SDN zone. East-west traffic between tenants is impossible at the data plane.
Firewall
Per-tenant FortiGate policy group. Inter-tenant traffic dropped by default; egress rate-limited per tier.
Storage
Per-tenant Ceph RBD namespace + pool quotas. Raw storage backend is invisible — mediated only through Proxmox.
Real topologies. Real tools. No toy VMs.
Every lab runs on the same Proxmox + Ceph + FortiGate stack we use for production customer workloads — not a lightweight container sandbox.
Cloud engineering
Multi-VM Azure Local, AWS-to-private migrations, multi-region DR — real topologies, not toy VMs.
Proxmox & virtualization
Nested Proxmox sandboxes for operators learning SDN, live migration, HA, and Ceph storage operations.
Networking
BGP labs, VLAN/VXLAN topologies, SD-WAN, enterprise LAN design — with pfSense, FortiGate, and Linux routers.
Cybersecurity
Isolated red/blue ranges. FortiGate operator labs. Pen-test fundamentals. Incident response & DFIR.
AI infrastructure
LLM hosting, RAG-on-prem, GPU operations, vector DB ops — GPU-attached labs on Scale tier.
VDI & remote work
Azure Virtual Desktop, RDS operator, Citrix Cloud Connect — Windows + AD + AVD topology in one click.
MSP engineering
Realistic NOC simulations, ticket triage, AI-operated ops, compliance evidence drills.
Certification prep
Hands-on labs mapped to CompTIA, Microsoft, Fortinet, Cisco exam objectives.

“I've used five training platforms. Ultiblob is the only one where I built a multi-node Azure Local cluster end-to-end. Other platforms give you a single VM and call it a lab.”
Questions about Ultiblob Lab.
- Ultiblob runs your labs on a real multi-node Proxmox cluster with real SDN, real FortiGates, real Ceph storage. AWS sandboxes give you a single VM that auto-destructs after 4 hours. Ours let you build multi-day persistent topologies — which is what cloud and security training actually requires.
- Flint, Michigan — Ultiblob's US-North private datacenter. Same Tier-III facility that hosts production customer workloads. A second region (DeSoto, TX) is on the V2 roadmap.
- No. Four simultaneous isolation layers: per-tenant Proxmox pool, per-tenant SDN VXLAN VNET, per-tenant FortiGate policy, per-tenant Ceph namespace. Inter-tenant traffic is impossible at the data plane, not just policy.
- Yes. Enterprise cohort packages are quoted per engagement starting at $5k floor (~$50/student-day × volume). MSPs reselling Ultiblob Lab to their customers get a partner discount.
- Microsoft Entra External ID. You can sign in with your company's M365 account (federated) or create a fresh Ultiblob account. MFA is required on both paths.
- MVP closed beta opens Q3 2026 with single-VM templates and Starter/Pro tiers. V1 GA with full template catalog ships Q4 2026. Join the early-access list below to be in the first cohort.
