Free Tier: Limits on Number of Environments (AWS quotas vs Snap Labs limits)?

Hello immersive community,

I’m on the free version of Snap Labs and understand the 4 VPN profiles per environment restriction. My question is about environment limits:

Is there a Snap Labs–imposed limit on the number of environments I can create/launch under one account?
Since Snap Labs ties into my AWS account, should I assume that AWS service quotas (like EC2 vCPUs, VPCs, or Elastic IPs) are the real limiting factor?

Just trying to plan ahead so I don’t accidentally hit a ceiling when launching multiple labs.

Thanks for clarifying!

  • Hi miketyhs, I can answer that question (and some others that haven't been asked.

    Community license users are limited to:
       ◦ 2 x running ranges at a time
       ◦ 4 x VPN connections at any given time
       ◦ 4 x Templates of a range
       ◦ 3 x snapshots of a range or per system

    I hope that helps

  • DaveSpencer​  thanks for the quick and clear answer, that really helps me understand the boundaries of the community license.

    I’m organizing a "large-scale" (100-150 people) CTF in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, aimed at students and young professionals. This is a non-profit initiative, the goal is purely to help build skills, exposure, and opportunities for the local community. Given the community license limits (2 ranges, 4 VPNs, etc.), it seems that we’ll need more capacity to make the event work. Are there any alternative options you could suggest for larger non-profit events like this? For example, does SnapLabs (or Immersive Labs) ever support educational or community initiatives with donated or expanded licensing? Even limited additional support would go a long way in helping me provide access to dozens of young participants who otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to experience this kind of hands-on cyber training.

    Thanks again for your help, I’d be grateful for any guidance or suggestions you can offer.
