Supporting Distributed GNS3 and Dynamips with AWS

In this video, Keith Barker covers the possibilities of using Amazon Web Services to support your GNS3 and Dynamips topologies. Leveraging the capabilities AWS provides can significantly increase your computing abilities, but the best situation often comes when you divide and conquer, splitting resources between the cloud and what you host locally.

Keith begins by reviewing the essential functions AWS offers IT professionals. He’ll talk about the flexibility Amazon provides by hosting servers on the cloud and the various options you can select as you build your optimal instance.

This doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing scenario, however. You can have a host still in the cloud and run the backend Dynamips virtually.

There are several advantages to putting the hardware emulation for the routers on AWS. That’s where the real CPU processing takes place, and you have so many resources at your disposal for mere pennies.

You could pair this functionality with running GNS3 on your local PC, and Keith walks through the advantages this kind of pairing could provide.
