# Overview - Multi-VM Lab Creator's Guide

This guide is tailored for lab creators working with multi-VM labs on the CloudLabs platform. It walks you through how to configure, deploy, and manage labs that include multiple virtual machines per user. You’ll learn how to use the platform's features effectively, apply user-level VM quotas, and manage resource efficiency across multiple VMs. For detailed instructions, refer to the [Lab Creator’s Guide](https://help.cloudlabs.ai/docs/create-and-manage-labs).

## Create multi-VM Labs

This section outlines the steps to create multi-VM labs from scratch using the CloudLabs VM Labs portal. By the end, you’ll be equipped with all required configurations to build and publish a complete multi-VM lab environment. For detailed creation steps, see the [Multi-VM Lab Creation](/v1/docs/create-lab-1#overview) Guide.
