Questions and answers about distributed systems

Most DS lectures and exercises seem to be organized in the following way:

I would like the students (in groups of 2-4) to pick a technology, install the necessary infrastructure (mostly lightweight implementations) with my help and do some examples and a demonstration to the class. That way the exercises can run largely parallel to the lecture.

What I'm not so sure about is whether I'm asking too much - looking at the necessary infrastructure e.g. and that the students need to start working on the implementations right away.
