RLES Guide

GCCIS's Remote Laboratory Emulation System (RLES; pronounced "are-less") is a virtual private network that's not accessible to the outside world, with an environment set up just for our class.

Getting Started

Access RLES at https://rlescloud.rit.edu/

Sign in with your RIT computer account credentials.

Provisioning a VM

When you first log into RLES, you'll land on the Catalog tab, where you'll see all of the virtual machine images that you have access to. Click on 'Request' to provision a VM instance. File:Rles/ubuntu 2204 image.png

To access a VM, you can use a browser, or you can use VMware's Remote Console (VMRC).

Group Work

You should all be able to see your groups VMs; if, on the Deployments page, you don't see a VM that someone else in your group created, click the filter icon next to "Deployments" and clear the checkmark next to your name.
