This page is in a draft state. It is intended as a more permanent (yet temporary) home for the information collected on the science clouds etherpad.

Intro

This page serves as a temporary location for a curated list of OpenStack based Science Clouds, where a Science Cloud is loosely defined as:

  • cloud infrastructure with the primary purpose of supporting research computing in its various shapes and sizes (from single machine RStudio to high-performance cluster computing to clinical study analysis)
  • supporting a predominantly research oriented user-base
  • having a sector, community, and/or merit based access model
  • non-commercial1
