We explore building a Kubernetes-powered, cloud-based cybersecurity education platform and framework named 'EDURange Cloud'. It allows instructors to efficiently design and host their own cybersecurity competitions and exercises. The benefits of this system include enhanced security through isolated instances, cost-effective scaling that adjusts resources based on demand, and the agility to deploy or update challenges rapidly. Originally focused primarily on hosting Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, the scope of EDURange Cloud will include support for cybersecurity demos and other educational exercises. This evolution will allow for a broader range of educational opportunities within the platform.
