hands-on labs which require only a single virtual machine, container-based solutions, such asProxMox VE (OpenVZ) and Docker, should be considered. They are easy to set up and do notrequire much resources. These types of labs can also be hosted on a public cloud such as GCP orAWS. For hands-on labs using a complex virtual environment with multiple virtual machines, aprivate cloud may be a better choice. Private cloud and public cloud can be complementary and beused together to improve online learning experience.References 1 T. Ercan, "Effective use of cloud computing in educational institutions."
