Also, we have cool new hardware on CHI@Edge, and improvements to the “message of the day” on Chameleon-supported base images

Connecting Continents: Dynamic Deployment of Transatlantic Computational Testbeds via the Infrastructure Manager

Breaking down the barriers between cloud computing 'silos' to create unified, large-scale scientific environments that span across Europe and the United States.

Cloud infrastructures are powerful but often operate as isolated islands. See how Germán Moltó and his team are bridging these gaps, enabling massive, collaborative scientific experiments by connecting clouds across the Atlantic using the Infrastructure Manager to dynamically deploy custom testbeds.
