In order to enhance student learning experience and reduce administrative overhead, I put together a cloud solution to rapidly provision Virtual Classrooms in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. This solution generates fully provisioned lab environments for students and instructors with all materials and software pre-configured on the users' desktops. Because this is a cloud solution, users can access their desktops remotely and the solution can easily be scaled up/down. This solution has been… Show more

The Microsoft Rapid Provisioning Service (RPS) is a tool used to efficiently provision Networks in Tactical environments. Tactical Environments are settings with low bandwidth and limited connection outside of the environment, thus making the provisioning and securing networks, devices and data a challenge. RPS solves this problem by using Data Driven Infrastructure as Code that can be maintained using DevOps and deployed in Tactical Environments.

The Microsoft Rapid Provisioning Service (RPS) is a tool used to efficiently provision Networks in Tactical environments. Tactical Environments are settings with low bandwidth and limited connection outside of the environment, thus making the provisioning and securing networks, devices and data a challenge. RPS solves this problem by using Data Driven Infrastructure as Code that can be maintained using DevOps and deployed in Tactical Environments. Some of the main problems that were addressed were:

- Representing entire tactical networks using Infrastricture as Code
- Developing a DevOps Pipeline for Network Configuration data
- Creating a tool with a simple User Interface that could be used in high stress environments
- Automating the deployments of Servers and Clients using Powershell Desired State Configuration
- Automated deployments to Azure to test/validate the functionality of RPS and rapidly prototype new Network configurations Show less
