Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a virtual platform for university teaching that simplifies the creation and use of complex IT setups,
even for students with little to no experience. Setting up infrastructures for courses like computer networks or IT security
has traditionally been challenging. However, the platform presented in this paper simplifies the setup by using virtualization
techniques for compute, network, and storage resources, reducing the efforts in preparation for lecturers, researchers, and
students. The platform gives access to complex IT setups utilizing free software components. The project employs Proxmox
Virtual Environment and CEPH for virtualization and distributed storage, respectively, providing a flexible and practical
solution. On top of that, a novel graphical web interface for the easy access and use of the virtual infrastructures is
implemented using ReactFlow. |
