== Building Clouds with !CloudLab == === Webinar Details === * Presented by: Robert Ricci from the University of Utah * Date: Friday May 27th * Time: 3:00 p.m. ET === Abstract === !CloudLab is a testbed where researchers can build their own clouds, giving them control of the parts of the cloud computing stack that would be "givens" if using someone else's cloud: virtualization, storage, networking, management, etc. This enables research that seeks to transform the cloud, not just to use it as-is. This webinar will cover the major features of !CloudLab, and participants will learn how to get started using !CloudLab in their own research. !CloudLab is federated with GENI; GENI accounts can be used to use !CloudLab, and vice versa. === Connection Information === Use the following URL to connect:[[BR]] https://bluejeans.com/562284608 [[BR]] Alternatively, use your phone and participate without video by: [[BR]] 1) Dialing: +1.888.240.2560 [[BR]] 2) Entering Conference ID: 562284608 [[BR]] ''Bluejeans is a video conferencing system.
