# Lab Content Replication

When a Lab Profile's development status is set to *Complete*, the lab profile will be replicated to all Delivery Regions that are available to the organization that owns the lab profile.

Any changes to the lab profile's Virtual Machines (VM) will replicated to all delivery regions available to the Organization that owns and manages the lab profile. Any subsequent changes such as VM disk changes or adding/removing VMs will cause replication to begin across available delivery regions.

## Replication Times

The table below describes the expected amount of time for replication to be completed, based on the size of the updates that are being replicated.

| Lab Size | Transfer to Closest Delivery Region | Transfer to All Delivery Regions |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1GB | 3 minutes | 15 minutes |
| 5GB | 15 minutes | 1 hour |
| 10GB | 30 minutes | 2 hours |
| 25GB | 1 hour | 4 hours |
| 50GB | 2.25 hours | 8 hours |
| 100GB | 4.5 hours | .75 days |
| 250GB | 11 hours | 1.8 days |
| 500GB | 22.25 hours | 3.7 days |
| 1TBB | 44.5 hours | 1 week |
| 2TB | 89 hours | 2 weeks |

## Delivery Regions

The list below is all Skillable Delivery Regions. Some regions may not be available to you, based on your organization's settings in Skillable Studio.

- North America
- Europe
- Asia-Pacific

Labs in Skillable Studio are housed in a Lab Profile. The Lab Profile contains the information about the configurable settings and the virtual machines that make up a lab. For a Lab Profile to be published it must be part of a Lab Series.

A virtual machine is the virtualization or emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide the functionality of a physical computer.

An organization is assigned to each entity in the TMS, such as, users, classes, subscriptions, and courses. The organization is a basis to determine access given based on roles within the organization and management over the organization.
