So, the question is, what is a better choice to get started with a Lab, and begin creating your own configurations? - Here is a list of the benefits from a Cloud Vs Home Lab
The difference between a Cloud lab and a Home lab Cloud Lab (dCLoud and DevNet) If you are one of those weird people that don’t want to run CUCM, UNITY Connection, IM & Presence, Jabber and other UC apps in your house, you are in luck.
