EaaSI Training Module: Disk Images
Ethan Gates
Dear colleagues,
The EaaSI team is excited to release our fifth Training Module: “Disk Images.”
The Training Module series will introduce important concepts in emulation and key features of the EaaSI platform. Every three months, a new training module will connect EaaSI functionality with specific use cases, highlighting a range of implementation scenarios.
During this module, participants will learn about:
What is a disk image?
How do disk images relate to EaaSI resources?
What are the advantages of “copy-on-write” disk images?

MORE ABOUT EAASI
The EaaSI program builds on previous work to apply the Emulation-as-a-Service (EaaS) framework for access and use of preserved software and digital objects. The project is focused on scaling the technological framework necessary for multiple institutions to configure, share, and access software and configured environments. EaaSI is focused on a distributed, community-driven architecture that sits on top of existing digital preservation infrastructure. This directly complements existing efforts by the Software Preservation Network and others to address key aspects of software preservation including legal advocacy, research about local software preservation needs, institutional capacity building for software preservation, collection development, professional development and training, and workflow recommendations.
