Get Cloud iNIT

Both builds run the identical nine-stage boot sequence — the difference is whose cloud accounts they run against and how much you can push through them.

The online sandbox runs against shared accounts we manage across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It's rate-limited and goes through a short automated review before it activates, because it's sharing capacity with everyone else on the same release window. That trade-off is what makes it free — it's built for coursework, demos, and trying out a stage you haven't used before without touching your own billing.

The offline build installs locally and runs the same sequence against your own cloud credentials. There's no shared capacity, so no queue and no rate limit — the boot log reflects your actual account limits, not ours. It's the version to use once you're past learning the sequence and are building something you intend to keep.
