Getting Started Guide

This guide will give a detailed explanation on how to create an exercise from creating your first Deputy Digital Library package to Deploying a full exercise.

The steps we will cover are:

  • Installing the necessary tools - Deputy, OVFTools and their dependencies which are necessary to operate with Deputy Packages
  • Creating your first package - In our example, we will create an OVA-based Virtual Machine (VM) type digital library package and upload it to Deputy Package Server.
  • Creating your first deployment - We will define an exercise SDL from scratch containing several VMs, a network Switch, Features, Conditions, Injects and Events.
  • Connecting Participants to the deployment - To connect actual users to our Deployment we need to connect them to Entities defined in the SDL.
