Components

• Proxmox Host(s)
  • Runs the VDI sessions for users via SPICE
• Orchestrator
  • Orchestrates the connection between the client and the Proxmox host(s)
  • Facilitates ad-hoc VM creation based on computer or user
  • Once VM is spun up, it provides the prerequisite SPICE configuration for the client to connect
  • Administrator(s) are able to control VMs available for the users
• Client
  • Connects to the VM through the orchestrator
  • Unauthenticated logins get generic, ephemeral options based off of the computer connecting from
  • Authenticated logins are able to get user-specific profiles
