Overview:

  • The Lab as a Service (LaaS) project aims to improve development, testing, and integration work in Anuket and the Linux Foundation Networking community by providing customizable hardware environments, or “labs”, to developers. Deploying and testing Anuket requires large amounts of baremetal hardware which is usually not available to developers. Lab as a Service provides a public web portal where users can request access to customized baremetal hardware and networking environments. This allows users to run, test, and integrate their own Anuket projects. The hardware will be hosted and managed by a participating lab.

  • The Pharos community labs provide hardware to developers, but configuration and management of the machines is all manual with a long turnaround. LaaS is fully automated and provides resources upon request.

  • LaaS as a project is composed of the web portal that users interact with, as well as an API that the web portal provides for participating labs. Labs that want to participate in LaaS must host hardware and consume the web portal's API in order to configure and manage that hardware.
