Automated Deployment of Lab Environments System (ADLES)

ADLES automates the deterministic creation of virtualized environments for use in Cybersecurity and Information Technology (IT) education.

Installation

pip install adles

Getting started

adles -h
adles --print-spec exercise
adles --print-spec infra
adles --list-examples
adles --print-example competition

Usage

Creating an environment using ADLES:

• Read the exercise and infrastructure specifications and examples of them.
• Write an infrastructure specification for your platform. (Currently, VMware vSphere is the only platform supported)
• Write an exercise specification with the environment you want created.
• Check its syntax, run the mastering phase, make your changes, and then run the deployment phase.

# Validate spec
adles validate my-competition.yaml

# Create Master images
adles masters my-competition.yaml

# Deploy the exercise
adles deploy my-competition.yaml

# Cleanup the environment
adles cleanup my-competition.yaml
