Creating and deleting virtual machines (VMs) and virtual networks (VNs) are time-consuming tasks. To make those tasks easier, much virtualization software is used by universities and institutions that enable the VMs and VNs creation and deletion efficiency on a single physical infrastructure. However, these technologies are heavy-weight. In contrast, we use Linux Containers (LXC), Open vSwitch (OVS), and Shell In A Box (ShellInABox) to deploy a light-weight and user-friendly web-based system. A user-friendly browser-based system is implemented that replaces the traditional terminal-based approach to access VNs, which makes the testbed easier to use. The browser-based system provides interactive access to the virtual hosts via a gateway machine within a web page. By login to the web-based system administrator can create or delete virtual networks automatically based on the available resources on the participant physical hosts determined by the algorithm running on the backend of the testbed. 2016 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1470416592 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1470416592 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
