Overview
CONS3RT provides users with self-service access to a vast library of automated installations of all sorts of software components to their systems - application, utilities, data sets, lock downs, configurations, etc. Users leverage this library of resources to design simple workstations to complex capabilities (e.g 30 or more servers). Every thing in the library can be shared and reused "as is" and/or used as the basis for something more.
Working with a set of experienced asset developers, the team will identify options for services and applications that impact the the user community. After assessing alternatives, the team will develop, integrate and test the assets and system designs, with a focus on a high level of configurability and reuse. The resulting assets and designs will be used across an the CONS3RT community in multiple sites, including the MOC.
