Using Apache VCL and OpenStack to provide a Virtual Computing Lab
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Post-secondary institutions are looking for ways to provide virtual computing labs to students. Using the open source systems Apache VCL and OpenStack, as well as a preexisting OpenStack provisioning module for Apache VCL, we implemented a pilot project to provide virtual computing labs. As the pilot continued we altered and improved our implementation and discovered new requirements. These improvements and lessons learned are presented here. Keywords—Apache VCL, OpenStack, Virtual Computing Lab
