Sign up for an account at: https://cloudlab.us/signup.php Many things are still in an early state, but we have enough in place for you to start getting some real work done. The cluster at the University of Utah is up, and clusters at Wisconsin and Clemson are coming soon. We have example profiles that provision bare-metal nodes and full, dedicated installs of OpenStack to get you started quickly. You can define experiments through CloudLab's GUI and provision both hosts and networks. You can also try out alpha-stage features like defining profiles through Python scripts. Coming in the near future are versioned images and profiles, persistent block storage, and quick profile creation. Come give it a try!
