+## Tip: Assigning instances to learners
+
+###
+
+We recommend using an online spreadsheet such as Google Sheets to assign learners their cloud
+instances, preferably by having a list of available IP addresses, and allowing users to 'claim'
+and instance by name. If possible, maintain 1 or 2 unclaimed instances in case some fail to
+launch or a learner encounters some unrecoverable error.
