Remote System Control

Description / Problem

As part of my participation in mentoring program from Intel, I solved the problem of remotely controlling a system and network from another location.

I designed the architecture and wrote an application with simple web interface based on running one-off functional containers performing the target function (like WakeOnLAN)
