Projects for Distributed Systems Lab

These projects are fundamental for creating a computational ecosystem in which vast majority of networking management tasks could be automatized. For portability, the services and tools must be deployed on virtual machines.

Network services

• DHCP Server
• DNS Server

Deployment services

• Fedora mirror
• Cobbler/koan
  

Services to enable remote access

• Tools to support remote monitoring via remote terminal as well as browser interface
  NOTE: wake-on LAN service would be enable in all machines at lab
  

Repository services

• Git tool

Security tool

• To search, evaluate and select a network intrusion detection tool
  

There would be two operating systems in the lab

• CentOS would be the Linux distro in which cobbler/koan service would reside
• Ubuntu server would be used to deploy DNS, DHCP and Git programs along with a network intrusion detection tool.

Repositories for both environments would be required. Only last releases would be maintained.
