About SIPB Virtual Servers

SIPB Virtual Servers is an experimental service from the Student Information Processing Board which attempts to provide members of the MIT community with an easy way to create virtual machines which they can remotely administer.

SIPB Virtual Servers is an Alpha Service

Lots of services claim to be beta when they're really almost release-worthy. SIPB Virtual Servers is an alpha service in the true sense of the word. This means that we make almost no promises. Specifically, we make no promises about:

Security: All of the current developers of SIPB Virtual Servers have root access to black-mesa, the host machine for all of the virtual machines through both root and null instances.
Uptime: The SIPB Virtual Servers developers reserve the right to bring down both black-mesa and its VMs without warning or notification.
Data integrity: We do not back up data on SIPB Virtual Servers VMs

If you're OK with this, we hope you enjoy using and helping us test SIPB Virtual Servers.
