ProLUG Linux Automation

Lab Guide

Students will be granted access to the ProLUG lab environment upon request.
If you would like access, join us on Discord and ask in the #prolug_lab_environment channel.

Outlined below is the Acceptable Use Policy and layout of the lab used for the Linux Automation Course.

Acceptable Use Policy

The acceptable use policy is presented during login through the Bastion node:

"You are entering the ProLUG lab environment. All activities may be monitored. By entering you agree to use the lab for the stated purpose of learning Linux."

Warning

Willful violations of this AUP, or intentional destruction will result in removal from ProLUG.

Access to Lab

Auto server mapping to target nodes is as follows.

Auto1 -> user: svc_ansible, password: ansible1234 -> target nodes: target1-1, target1-2
Auto2 -> user: svc_ansible, password: ansible1234 -> target nodes: target2-1, target2-2
Auto3 -> user: svc_ansible, password: ansible1234 -> target nodes: target3-1, target3-2
Auto4 -> user: svc_ansible, password: ansible1234 -> target nodes: target4-1, target4-2
Auto5 -> user: svc_ansible, password: ansible1234 -> target nodes: target5-1, target5-2

For additional lab capacity, use Killercoda.com.

That lab mapping is as follows:

Controlplane -> user: root, key -> target node: node01

Public Keys

Public keys are dropped in the #prolug_lab_environment channel in Discord, where they can be added to the jump server for bastion access.

Note

The password method is unreliable, as it changes often.

Lab Best Practices

Reboot servers when you are done with them.
This will ensure a clean server for the next user to log in.
