The Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) at the Computer Communications Lab allows students to access virtual environments for their assignments. To address the issue of underutilization and overutilization of resources, a hybrid cloud solution was developed. This solution combines the existing private cloud with public cloud resources during peak usage times, improving resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By integrating Amazon EC2 public cloud resources with the VCL environment, the hybrid cloud solution provides optimal resource utilization and expands capabilities during high-demand periods. This approach allows for better cost efficiency compared to investing in new physical infrastructure. The result is a working proof-of-concept hybrid cloud solution for the VCL environment.
