Hands on with the Atmosphere GUI interface on Jetstream cloudThis tutorial will first give an overview of Jetstream, the National Science Foundation's first production research and education cloud, and various aspects of the system. Then we will take attendees through the basics of using Jetstream via the Atmosphere web interface. This will include a guided walk-through of the interface itself, the features provided, the image catalog, launching and using virtual machines on Jetstream, using volume-based storage, and best practices.
We are targeting users of every experience level. Atmosphere is well-suited to both HPC novices and advanced users. This tutorial is generally aimed at those unfamiliar with cloud computing and generally doing computation on laptops or departmental server resources. While we will not cover advanced topics in this particular tutorial, we will touch on the available advanced capabilities during the initial overview.
Attendees will need to bring a laptop with a modern web browser (Firefox, Chrome, or Safari).
