The Chameleon Early User Program is Now Open!

The Early User program has been created to allow for an early user feedback phase to the Chameleon project. Participants in this program will be able to access the latest in-development features of Chameleon before they are ready for general access and have the opportunity to provide early feedback and work with the Chameleon team to shape the project.

NSF Announces New Cloud Testbed

The National Science Foundation announces an award for the Chameleon cloud testbed.

The National Science Foundation announced today two NSFCloud awards to create testbeds for cloud computing research – among them, the Chameleon project. We are proud and excited to be a part of an initiative that will shape and accelerate cloud computing research and are looking forward to working with the research community!

Chameleon will be launching soon
