Education
Universities and schools open an isolated project for each class or department in one click and build lab environments with Terraform in minutes. Resources are billed by the hour, and stopped servers are not charged for CPU and RAM.
Challenges
Labs are busy during term and empty during breaks, so fixed hardware sits idle for much of the year.
Every course needs different software and configuration, and building environments by hand strains the IT team every term.
Students, faculty and departments must not be able to reach each other's resources.
Scenarios
A Terraform template prepared for each course builds the lab in minutes at the start of term and removes it at the end.
Each class or department gets an isolated project, and faculty and students reach only their own project through role-based permissions.
Auto-Scale handles the extra traffic during course registration and online exams, and capacity shrinks once the rush is over.
