Cloud Services

Welcome to the home of our documentation for Livermore Computing's cloud services. In this context, we may think of cloud services as "cloud technologies" wherein such technologies can be on-premises (on-prem; i.e., hosted by LC), off-premises (off-prem; i.e., hosted at facility other than LC; e.g., LANL HPC center), and cloud-proper (what the rest of the world might imagine the cloud to be; e.g., Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, etc.). 

Common cloud-proper ways of working "in the cloud" include connecting to platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Compute Engine. In using cloud services, users typically connect to remote data centers over the internet. One of the benefits of using these platforms is that users can access the infrastructure they need on demand, without needing to maintain hardware and environments that may sit around unused for much of the time.

At LC, security is paramount in our multi-tenant environment and we want to ensure you have access to enabling technologies ushered in by the cloud for improved efficiencies in HPC. To this end, we are supporting software and services like containers, object storage, database and broker services, and a several workflow tools built atop those services.
