Ask HN: Secure way to give students own remote VM
I'm looking to run a hands-on course for some students as an intro to networking. I find the best way is to have some hands on experience to go with the theory. With that in mind, I'd like to use something like a raspberry pi or old server as a plaything of the students. What's the best way to set them all up in isolated environments that they can easily remotely access?
Am I best to just create 30 odd virtual machines? Can I achieve the same outcome without the overhead of a VM?
- pettycashstash2 5y agoWhy not have them create Amazon Aws accounts. They are free for 1 year and a secondary benefit is that they can spin their own vm ip from an image you create if that’s what you wish. They can also learn about cloud networking concepts etc
- mimsee 5y agoDoes aws require a credit-card to be added to use the free/student tier?
