| 8 | | === Abstract === |
| 9 | | !CloudLab is a testbed where researchers can build their own clouds, |
| 10 | | giving them control of the parts of the cloud computing stack that would |
| 11 | | be "givens" if using someone else's cloud: virtualization, storage, |
| 12 | | networking, management, etc. This enables research that seeks to |
| 13 | | transform the cloud, not just to use it as-is. |
| 14 | | |
| 15 | | This webinar will cover the major features of !CloudLab, and participants |
| 16 | | will learn how to get started using !CloudLab in their own research. |
| 17 | | !CloudLab is federated with GENI; GENI accounts can be used to use |
| 18 | | !CloudLab, and vice versa. |
