A free cloud computing resource for Alberta Educators.
Cybera’s Rapid Access Cloud is an award-winning resource that provides free cloud computing resources to Alberta-based academics for classroom and project use.
Benefits:
- Resource quotas are flexible
- So is the length of time the resources can be allocated*
*In some cases, we may ask classes to be broken into groups to help conserve resources, especially IPv4 addresses, which we have a very limited supply of.
Getting Started
Interested educators just need to contact us a minimum of two weeks before the start of their class.
The information we need for classes is:
- Class Size
- Class Start Date
- Amount of computing resources (CPUs, RAM) each student or group requires
- If your institution is IPv6 enabled (click here to find out)
- Any other relevant details about the class
