SCL Management#
Purpose#
The SCL is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) system, that makes it possible to manage virtual machines in isolated environments.
Warning
Please note that the SCL implementation is a prototype and some parts are missing a production-ready implementation: Specifically, the layer 3 networking functions are only intended for testing and demonstration purposes - it is expected that the SCL will be integrated with an overall secure layer 3 networking setup developed independently. Apart from that, core features required for multi-node use cases are a work in progress. This includes redundancy capabilities (so multiple instances of individual controllers can be executed concurrently) and an enhanced scheduler. Additionally, use-case specific, automated testing will be necessary and some adaptations and cleanup may be required in the codebase to enable productive usage of the SCL components.
