Summary/Abstract: This publication examines the development of a cloud platform for maritime training by integrating OpenStack as the infrastructure and Moodle as the Learning Management System (LMS). The platform's architecture, key components of OpenStack, integration process with Moodle, and the use of virtualization to simulate real-world conditions in training are described. Special attention is given to scaling approaches—vertical and horizontal—which ensure flexibility and reliability in managing workloads. The study highlights the advantages of using cloud technologies for maritime education, including efficiency, scalability, and adaptability to specific needs
