DocumentationGet Access
Access to e-INFRA OpenStack Cloud is granted to users with active accounts in one of the following identity federations:
- EINFRA CESNET,
Users from the Czech academic community should always use the EINFRA CESNET
identity provider, unless instructed otherwise by user support.
Identity providers marked with * should only be used by international
communities with explicitly negotiated resource allocations.
MetaCentrum Cloud provides the following ways for allocating resources
- personal project,
- group project.
Caution
By the date 1.10.2024, it is necessary to be registered on MetaCentrum, more information provided on Necessity of being part of MetaCentrum.
Personal Project
A personal project goal is to gain cloud environment knowledge.
Important
Please note that personal projects are intended for temporary use. This means the resources allocated to these projects may be reset periodically, approximately twice a year. The primary reason for this ephemerality is to ensure effective use of cloud resources. Any virtual machines intended for long-term use must be part of group projects. This guideline is in accordance with our terms of service.
Caution
A personal project resource allocation quotas are fixed and cannot be changed.
Personal projects are available automatically to all users of the MetaCentrum.
To register, follow the instructions for registration in the MetaCentrum VO.
Personal projects are intended as a low-barrier entry into the infrastructure for testing and exploration of features. Any serious resource usage requires the use of a group project, see below.
