QuickCloud: Lightweight Cloud Infrastructure for VM Rental and Management

The project, “QuickCloud,” is designed to provide users with a web-based platform to rent and manage virtual machines (VMs) with ease. The system enables users to select and configure their desired virtual machines, access them via SSH, and pay for usage through a simple billing mechanism. The platform includes a user-friendly interface developed using Angular for the frontend, while Spring Boot and JPA handle the backend functionalities. Unlike traditional cloud services, this project focuses solely on providing EC2-like services, specifically allowing users to rent VMs with fixed configurations, without the complexities of a full-featured cloud platform. It offers essential functionalities such as user management, instance registration, billing, and instance configuration. The platform ensures efficient resource allocation and management, providing both an intuitive experience and robust technical control.
