What is EVE-NG?

EVE-NG describes itself as the Emulated Virtual Environment for network, security and DevOps professionals, and that three-way framing is the point: the same platform is used for routing and switching labs, for security appliance testing, and for automation work where a topology needs to exist long enough to run playbooks against it.

It runs as a server rather than a desktop application, with labs reached through a browser, which suits shared team environments and e-learning providers running classes against a single installation. Two editions exist: a free Community edition and a Professional edition aimed at enterprises and training centres, currently at release 7.0.1-21 dated 3 July 2026. Documentation, a labs library and a community forum sit alongside the product, and the Professional edition is bought directly rather than quoted.
