CloudDock For Education™ (schools)
Institutions can request an organization account with centralized billing and policy controls. Provision lab clusters for classes, research groups, or makerspaces—without marketplace variability.
- Centralized billing: one invoice; cost centers and tags for departments.
- Roster & SSO: invite students/teachers; optional SSO integration.
- Images: standardized classroom images (JupyterLab, CUDA, SD WebUI) with pinned versions.
- Scheduling: predictable capacity by cohort; advance reservations for exams or demos.
Quota control & deployment options
Admins can set per-user or per-class quotas (runtime hours, GPU tiers) and time windows (e.g., lab hours). Deployment supports single-lab, multi-lab, or campus-wide setups with isolated failure domains.
- Quotas: daily/weekly hour caps; per-SKU access; auto-expiry tokens.
- Policies: default runtime limits; idle reclamation; abuse guardrails.
- Scheduling: cohort-based queues to keep classes together on consistent hardware.
Transparent rules & pricing
Pricing tables are published per SKU with student rates clearly marked. Billing shows line items by user, class, and cohort, so teachers and admins can reconcile usage without guesswork.
FAQ
Can I use a personal email?
Yes, but verification is faster with a school email. If you use a personal email, be ready to provide proof of enrollment.
How long do student discounts last?
They remain active while your verification is valid. Re-verification may be requested each academic year.
We are a school—how do we start?
Create an organization request from the dashboard. Once approved, you’ll get org billing, quota policies, and optional SSO.
Can we reserve capacity for exam weeks?
Yes. Cohort reservations let you pre-book predictable capacity for time-bound activities.
