Abstract Virtual Lab is a virtual machine management system that seeks to streamline the process of creating, editing and deploying virtual machines onto a set of computers. Many universities already use virtualization to enable their computer science students to do practical work. In some of these universities, the deployment and management of virtual machines is done manually. Virtual Lab automates this process so that faculty can focus on more useful tasks.
