Virtual Machines

Work in progress

Overview

A Virtual Machine (VM) is a pre-configured computing environment associated with an Assembly. When you book an Assembly, veHaaS provisions the VM for your session. You connect to it via RDP client or directly in your browser using the built-in remote desktop.

VM Lifecycle

Connection Methods

veHaaS supports two ways to connect to a VM:

  • RDP client — download an .rdp file and open it with your local Remote Desktop client.
  • Browser-based connection — connect directly in your browser via the built-in Guacamole remote desktop. No client software required.

→ See Connect to a Virtual Machine for step-by-step instructions.

VM Credentials

VM credentials (username and password) are managed securely via HashiCorp Vault and provided to you automatically when your session starts.

Creating and Managing VMs

VMs are created and assigned to Assemblies by administrators or Assembly owners.

→ See Create a Virtual Machine for the creation workflow.
