I am a student studying Cyber Security. In many of my courses I am required to use a prebuilt VM from my lecturer. As an external student this requires me downloading one or more VM images. One of my courses had 13 images requiring 100gb download*. Would it be possible for all the lecturers to get together and work off one unified set of base images for Windows 10, Windows Server, Linux
Then use snapshots and clones to create each of the required images. While in theory this would be possible using a single install / image this would obviously not be practical for the lecturers. What would be ideal is if they could create the base image share it amount themselves then create snapshots to share with students that can be loaded into the base VM.
*Not a VMWare problem but some downloads failed and needed to be redownloaded
