Abstract: This thesis explores transitioning from VM-based to container-based technical environments for the PA211 cybersecurity course at Masaryk University. Traditional virtualisation methods like VirtualBox are resource-intensive and complex. By using Docker and Podman to reduce hardware resource demands, the thesis aims to simplify the setup and enhance scalability and accessibility. The thesis analyses the current infrastructure, identifies limitations, implements a container-based architecture and deploys and tests the container-based infrastructure during the spring 2024 semester course run. The results show significant improvements in efficiency and usability, making containerisation a viable alternative for modern cybersecurity education.
