** request access to an existing project | |||
** and if you are a PI you may also: | |||
*** request a new project with our [[Cloud_RAS_Allocations|Rapid Access Service]] (RAS). | |||
*** or an increased quota to an existing project | |||
Requests are typically processed within 48 hours. | |||
When requesting access to an existing project you will need to know the project name and type (compute or persistent). See the section on [[OpenStack#Projects|projects]] for guidance on how to find this information. In addition these requests for access must be confirmed by the PI owning the project. | |||
When requesting either a new project or an increase in quota for an existing project some justification, in the form of a few sentences, is required: | |||
*Why you need cloud resources | |||
*Why an HPC cluster is not suitable | |||
*Your plans for efficient usage of your resources | |||
*Your plans for maintenance and security ([[Security_considerations_when_running_a_VM|refer to this page]]) | |||
A PI may own up to 3 projects, but the sum of all project quotas must be within the RAS allocation limits. A PI may have both compute and persistent cloud allocations. | |||
