The Canadian Cyber Defence Challenge, which took place at Red River College on May 13 of this year, was an "event driven, time constrained, full-spectrum cyber defence challenge" for the high school teams that participated. With the leadership of Ian Trump, Jared Bater (MERLIN) and Chris Kluka (Daemon Defense) were charged with building a robust, fully-contained, and high-performing system to support ~70 high-school cyber-defenders at any facility and at short notice. The hosting facilities at Daemon Defense and MERLIN at the University of Manitoba would house the games' heavily-virtualized infrastructure, fat pipes to Internet and related research/education and content provider networks. At the game site would be our cyber defenders, red team, support staff, and media. They needed a solid, tightly contained network between the two sites, and an incredibly nimble and highly performing back-end to respond to the high peak usage, time-constrained event. The CDC pulled the event together, seemingly out of thin air, by asking for help from Ian Trump. Ian brought Jared and Chris in to provide donated network and server resources. These resources would have easily cost tens of thousands of dollars for the CDC to procure. However, due to their virtualizable nature, they were able to implement enough compute and network resources to provision 144 virtual machines on loaned hardware. In this presentation Jared and Chris will show off what they did, and discuss how they can do it better next time. The future holds many more demands: an order of magnitude more teams, many more concurrent game sites across Canada, and a need to scale network, security, storage, compute, memory, and operational capability. We plan to heavily leverage virtualized networking, virtualized compute and virtualized storage to stand up an extraordinary game experience for short periods of time, with the ability to do it all again in short order (on the road where needed), all on a reasonable dime.
