1 Contract for Virtual Machine & Resources

Historically… CS 411W students have been required to specify Virtual Machine (VM) requirements:

Prepare a contract of departmental requests for prototype development (e.g. hardware and software licenses) to include team member names and operating system(s) for the virtual machine.

With modern development technologies (e.g., Docker), each team can now make use of the same base VM:

Local (CS Department Hosted) VM

• Ubuntu Server (latest LTS release)
• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Git
• Fish & Zsh

Each team member will have sudo privileges on the VM. Since I require all students to use git for development, CS Home directories will not be mounted on the VM.
