The serverless paradigm, also referred to as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), helps the developers abstract or automate away almost all infrastructure and operation overhead, allowing for what is often touted as &amp;quot;infinite scaling&amp;quot; applications, which can be a good fit for the rapidly increasing demand for practical cyber environments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The authors provide an in-depth overview of the architecture and frontend of a cyber education environment management framework, designed to work in a serverless environment, and analyse the lessons learnt from using that framework in providing cyber trainings to students and IT professionals for more than a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This paper is included in the program of &lt;a href=&quot;https://digilience.org&quot;&gt;DIGILIENCE 2019&lt;/a&gt; and will be published in the post-conference volume.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
