[Nsi-wg] Fwd: [cloudlab-announce] CloudLab is up and running

[Sill, Alan]

FYI.  This project is closely related to GENI and may be of interest to the NSI-WG for testing.

Any feedback on new or existing projects that we should call to the attention of the OGF community at large for testing purposes or any other related topic for useful or related projects would be helpful.

We're happy to announce that CloudLab is up and running, and ready to

Many things are still in an early state, but we have enough in place for
you to start getting some real work done. The cluster at the University
of Utah is up, and clusters at Wisconsin and Clemson are coming soon.
We have example profiles that provision bare-metal nodes and full,
dedicated installs of OpenStack to get you started quickly. You can
define experiments through CloudLab's GUI and provision both hosts and
networks. You can also try out alpha-stage features like defining
profiles through Python scripts. Coming in the near future are versioned
images and profiles, persistent block storage, and quick profile
creation. 

Come give it a try!
