This paper considers cloud service development to support hands-on practice in IT education. For IT education, cloud services can be used to reduce cost, enhance security, and provide flexibility. This paper presents a case study to illustrate how cloud services can be used to support hands-on practice for IT courses. It also provides a five-step development strategy to develop cloud based computer labs for various types of IT courses.
