CloudBank (available to early access users) enables researchers to access commercial cloud platforms using ACCESS credits, which are converted to dollars and usable across the following commercial cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. After onboarding, the CloudBank portal automatically creates cloud accounts for the platforms listed in your ACCESS transfer request, with the option to add more later. In the CloudBank Portal, you can manage which authorized ACCESS users have permission to your cloud accounts and easily access the cloud vendor platforms using federated login with your ACCESS credentials. As you use cloud services, CloudBank tracks your usage, deducts costs from your allocation, and sends automated spend notifications at key milestones. CloudBank supports a limited number of projects needing access to regulated data through Sherlock services.
