USAFA leverages ephemeral VMs for a more dynamic and secure student environment

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) is a premier higher-education institution.  The Academy provides young men and women opportunities to transform “into the leaders of tomorrow." As part of this establishment, the Academy educates students on cutting edge cybersecurity and information technology.

LucidPoint helped the Academy choose a flexible, efficient, and elastic infrastructure to deliver hands-on training to their cadets. GCP solutions allow the Academy to stay at the forefront of technology and educate on the ever-changing security threats. In addition, LucidPoint is helping the Academy scale resources on-demand by automating infrastructure deployment using cloud solution APIs and adopting an Infrastructure-as-Code methodology.  

Most importantly, achieving this real-time response while keeping access secure and simple is made possible by Google Cloud's best-of-breed Compute Engine technology.
