CUCM Sandbox or Cloud Deployment Options for Testing

rajesh10 — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:22:32 GMT

Hi Cisco Team,

I’m looking for a CUCM sandbox/lab environment for testing and development purposes.

Could you please let me know if any CUCM sandbox or alternative testing environment is currently available?

Also, is it possible to set up CUCM in a cloud environment such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and if so, is there any recommended approach or supported option?

Thank you.

@rajesh10 the CUCM sandbox was retired about a year ago. No plans at the moment to bring it back.

I see https://dcloud.cisco.com/ has some CUCM environments, if you need access you need to request it through your Cisco account or Cisco partner.

For cloud deployment, I recommend to ask (or move this post) to the collaboration community, I consider you can get an answer there https://community.cisco.com/t5/collaboration/ct-p/4691-collaboration-voice-video
