Despliegue de escenarios de entrenamiento en seguridad utilizando técnicas de virtualización con clonado rápido

Abstract

The training and constant preparation of the IT personnel is one of the most effective strategies to improve the quality, stability and security of networks and associated services. In this line, CEDIA has been implementing training courses and workshops for its members and within the CSIRT-CEDIA it has been considered the optimization possibility of the associated processes with the necessary infrastructure deployment to provide participants of these trainings, with appropriate personalized material in information security area. Thus we decided to use virtualization techniques to exploit the available resources, but even if by itself it isn't a new trend, the use of a complete copy of the virtual disk for each participant, is not only impractical in terms of time, but also in terms of the consumption of required storage. This work is aimed precisely to the consumption and time optimization associated with replication processes of the same machine and virtual disk for particular use of several participants.
