Next phase of Veeam Hands-On Labs: Centralised and expanded lab catalog

New, consolidated lab catalog Thank you to all the Veeam hands-on labs community members and the users who use these labs day to day. If you are new to Veeam hands-on labs, I’d strongly recommend you read the introduction post at: We are excited to share with you that we have now managed to consolidate 3 different internal lab catalogs that previously restricted what each of you can see, based on which geography (EMEA, Americas, APJ) you access the labs from. Starting from now, irrespective of where you access the labs from, everyone will see the same, single lab catalog which should provide a globally unified experience to all users of the platform. If you are based out of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), you may not notice much of a difference as we have consolidated onto what was previously the EMEA only lab catalog. However, if you happened to live in Americas or Asia Pacific (APJ), when you visit https://go.veeam.com/hands-on-lab-experience now, you may see a brand new, expa

During K10 installation notes reports Note the port number, in this case it is 30565. but this is false.

Embrace DevOps with Extensibility and Automation Leveraging Veeam APIs HOL not working

Not sure where to post this but as it’s HOL related I thought here might be useful. I’ve been trying to use the above HOL (Embrace DevOps) and it sadly fails to connect to swagger on the Enterprise Manager. The NFR license used has expired which I presume to be the cause.

Accessing geo specific Veeam hands-on lab catalogs

HOL community, Some of you may have noticed that the list of Veeam hands-on labs you see when you visit the main landing page (https://go.veeam.com/hands-on-lab-experience-html) depends on where you are accessing the labs from. For example, a user in United States accessing this link will typically see a different set of labs, compared to a user accessing the same link from UK, or Ireland for example. We’ve mentioned this behaviour in our “Introduction to the Veeam hands-on labs” post some time back. The reason for this is that we are running 3 identical lab platforms, each located in Amercas (AMER), Europe, middle east & Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific (APJ) behind this single URL. Each of these regions therefore have their own set of Veeam labs (regional lab catalog) where the end users are always diverted to home region’s lab catalog automatically, behind the scene. This set up exists due to historical reasons and internally, we are working tirelessly to merge these into a single la

HOL - Progress % Not Working

For anyone that is using the Veeam HOLs - are you having issues with completing sections and then when you click the section complete button it does not update the Progress % to 100%? I am seeing this, and it is very sporadic when a percentage will go in there. I have sent them an email but wanted a thread for awareness so people can let them know it is not working correctly.
