A pod is a self-contained student workspace within the CyberLab. Each pod provides one student with their own isolated section of Active Directory where they can practice cybersecurity operations without affecting other students.
20 pods (Pod01 - Pod20), supporting 20 concurrent students.
Each pod consists of:
OU=PodXX,OU=Students,DC=acs-p01,DC=local)PXX- prefixpodXXnet) on PVE1| Pod | Bridge | Student Prefix |

All pod bridges share the same IP subnet (10.50.1.0/24). DC01-P01 (10.50.1.10) has a NIC on every pod bridge (net0 through net20), so all pods can reach the domain controller. DC02-P01 (10.50.1.11) is on pod01net.
When a student logs in:
P05-Student) authenticates against DC01 or DC02
