You may have already heard about "Cloud" or "Cloud computing" or have seen this term everywhere. However, what is the nature of it? What's the difference from the traditional computing model? How to access and use a cloud in particular for research purposes?
The Cloud Intro will clarify all of the above, starting with an overview of cloud computing including the evolution of HPC/ARC computer technologies, public & private clouds, and the cloud deployed by Digital Research Alliance of Canada (Alliance), followed by an introduction to the national cloud sites, compute resources and different types of cloud storage such as volume, shared filesystem, and object storage. Finally, you will be guided on how to apply for/access those cloud resources as a pre-requisite of the following two sessions: Cloud Hands-on and Cloud Advanced.
