Using a resource allocation: Difference between revisions

Cloud resources allocated via the Rapid Access Service (RAS) use the default project.

Cloud resources allocated via the Resource Allocation Competitions are awarded through a RAC project which follows a different naming convention than default projects. The group name of RAC projects with cloud allocations typically takes the form of <code>crg-profname</code> (for cloud resources allocated via the RRG competition) or <code>cpp-profname</code> (for cloud resources allocated via the RPP competition).

If you have an active cloud resource allocation, you should already have a project and therefore access to the particular cloud on which you have an allocation.  

*Default project: Cloud resources granted to you via RAS are allocated through your default project. All your activated sponsored user roles are always members of your default project. That is, confirming sponsorship of a user, confers on them membership in your default project. However, you can at any time deactivate any role you sponsor.   

*RAC project: By default, only the PI is added as a member of a project associated with cloud resources allocated via the Resource Allocation Competitions. If desired, you can add sponsored users and/or other active Compute Canada users as members to the project. Only members added to your project can use your cloud allocation.
