Red Cloud is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offered by the Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing. Red Cloud is a hybrid-cloud that runs the open source Eucalyptus cloud computing platform which is fully Amazon Web Service (AWS) compatible and provides the ability for users to use the same virtual machines on both resources. Lifka will discuss the motivation for Red Cloud, recent enhancements, new capabilities, how it is being used and how it can be leveraged by the HUBzero community.
