The goal of the lab is introduce students to a deeper understanding of system and networks in the real enterprise world. First of all, the world is moving to virtual environments and only a few corporations are still using physical environments. RLES allows students to be introduces to virtualization and how servers and services could be configured to be virtual with less cost and easier management from a Systems Admin standpoint. Second, the idea of having a wiki is new from a personal perspective and is a great idea to have the environment documented in a professional organized fashion. Lastly, monitoring is very important where it gives a Sys Admin the ability to see things live instead of waiting for an issue to come up and start troubleshooting

Procedural and Informational Documentation:
In this lab, I try to use as much of the same password as possible even though that’s one of the worst practices from a security standpoint. In this lab, I made three VMs (PFSense Router, RHEL 7 for the monitoring server and another separate RHEL 7 for the Wiki server). The reason I made separate servers for the monitoring and the wiki is to avoid multiple disruptions of services in case of a single VM being down. The passwords for accessing the infrastructure as follow:
• PFSense: NoOnehere90
• Wiki RHEL 7 Server: NoOnehere90 (root and me have the same password)
• RHEL 7 monioring Server: NoOnehere90 (root and me have the same password)
• Wiki:
- Username: wiki
- Password: Password
• Nagios:
- Username: nagiosadmin
- Password: 12345 “Yes because RLES was so …show more content…
Since we are connected to the outside world, we have to have a sufficient level of security in place. First of all, most operating systems come with default settings that don’t have enough security in place like firewall rules and ACLs. Also, on the most harmful features is having remote accesses enabled by default. Also, images come without the security updates and that might leave those VMs vulnerable to recent vulnerabilities. Since we have to be connected to the outside world to be able to download certain software and updates, we shall be careful to backdoors that we might have in
