Hi, in a school context my ultimate goal is this :
- Student can authenticate to Proxmox VE. If non-existent, a script creates a virtual environment for him.
- Student can create VMs on it's own subnet / vlan / vxlan (?)
- A tool will be created to open tunnels (inter-vlan or ACL's) between students networks, allowing them to work together and share their networks, giving also a possibility for teachers to make "public" networks available to all, or a select few (eg. using member groups), and allowing events to be created that you can "sign up" for giving you access to the event's network.
This is a huge sandbox server, meant to be destroyed by cyber student and re-built quickly, emphasizing on administrative EASE if possible by compromising security.
Ideally I will automate everything and create administrative tools for admins, and end-users to manage their own network.
I have two potential routes :
- Supernetting (?) a /8 to assign each student a subnet inside this subnet.
- SDN Zones and VXLANs, to do the same, but easier ?
I do enjoy RTFM but for decision-making, I need to reach out to all of you for expertise and experience
Thanks.
