This is so cool! As a teacher, I can see a lot of potential in integrating this into my curriculum.

Great to hear, johnquest! I think students will really benefit from this hands-on experience. Is there a specific feature you'd like to see implemented? Maybe I can help.

I've always wanted to explore distributed computing but never had the right platform. Thank you for creating this!

Does it have a built-in monitoring/logging system? I'd love to be able to keep track of my students' progress.

Yes, hackrunner! You can even create custom alerts based on criteria like time spent, processes completed, or resource usage.

I'm curious if it has support for scripting languages like Perl or Python. I'm not a fan of the usual Java/C++ route.

Algoqueen, I can confirm that it supports Perl and Python. In fact, there are over 25+ programming languages and frameworks available.

I'm totally blown away! By the way, is there a version specifically designed for cloud-based VMs?

Simulmaniac, yes! In fact, many educational institutions have requested cloud-based compatibility. You can use it seamlessly on AWS, Azure, or GCP VM instances.
