Atmosphere
A cloud-based, customizable platform for container and cloud native development services.
CyVerse's cloud-computing platform allows you to launch an instance of a virtual machine pre-configured with a specific operating system and software or to configure your own. Atmosphere is an ideal resource to develop cloud-based virtual machine images for specific learning or analysis goals for your research, teaching and workshops.
To use Atmosphere, you must have an educational email address, a CyVerse account and be granted access to Atmosphere. Familiarity with Linux command-line is recommended but not required.
Important Note: Effective July 1, 2020, CyVerse shifted the Atmosphere platform from a general computing environment to one focused on container and cloud native development services for U.S.-based researchers. Please read these FAQs and our Service Agreement for more information.
