Instruqt 2.0 Demo Lab

A hands-on demonstration of Instruqt 2.0's lab creation capabilities, created for the Instruqt 2.0 webinar.

Overview

This lab walks through the key features that differentiate Instruqt 2.0 from the legacy platform:

• Declarative Infrastructure - Implicit dependency management without manual depends_on or bash polling
• Static Validation - Catch configuration errors before deployment (typos, missing files, task mismatches)
• Git-Native Collaboration - Full version control workflow with UI and terminal options
• Modules & Reusability - Share components across labs and organizations
• Asset Management - Centralized asset handling with code-as-assets capability
