## <b>Swarmlab VEnus</b> is Swarmlabs hybrid younger, more -network virtual- tech savvy brother.
Swarmlab venus provides the user with the unique abillity to create **Network Virtualization** and use them to project as Virtual Classroom, POC expanding you system or the simple swarmlab Labrooms to full-blown system. An all of that <b>using onlly the browser</b> of their system.

Ever created a service that you would like to test on a real-world network?
Ever designed an Labroom/application you would like to distribute to your students/applications?
Swarmlab venus comes to bridge the gap between you, you network/computer, the coder/developer of a service and the and user and at the same time meet the needs for a real-world testing environment.

Easy enough right? But what does that mean in practice?
Well for us it means a couple million more lines of code. For you it means a few more installation steps and the newfound access to YOUR OWN RESOURCES!
You will be connected to the net pou tha dimioyrgissis proskalontas toys summetexontes pou theleis kai na you will be able to use your own storage(move files around, delete/copy etc),your own networking and computational power(cpu/graphics etc) and create a system exactly the way you need it.
This way you will be able to :
- <b>create</b> images for testing.
- <b>Run</b> them using docker.
- <b>Share</b> them for others to use and develop.
- Finally <b>browse the cloud</b> for shared images to <b>integrate</b> into your project and make it even better.

### Hybrid
