You must have already heard about "Cloud" or "Cloud computing" or have seen this term everywhere. However, what is the nature of it? What's the difference from traditional computing model? How to access and use a cloud in particular for research purpose?

This workshop contains three sessions, starting with the "Cloud Intro" session that will give you an overview of cloud computing evolution, public & private clouds, and the cloud infrastructure deployed by Compute Canada and the how to access it, and then followed by the "Cloud Hands-on" session that will walk you through the whole process of launching your own virtual machine in the cloud, with more nuts and bolts covered. The last, namely "Cloud Advanced", is a variable session that aims to accommodate different topics of advanced cloud technologies & applications, including Openstack Heat, Dokku, HPC on cloud, etc. In this bootcamp, we will demonstrate how to use Openstack Heat to rapidly deploy cloud services and applications (e.g. create a service stack for hosting a Nginx based web service).
