CloudBank enables researchers to access commercial cloud platforms through the ACCESS and NAIRR Pilot allocation processes. Awards are made in 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 request, with the option to add more later. In the CloudBank Portal, you can manage which authorized users have permission to your cloud accounts and easily access the cloud vendor platforms using federated login with your ACCESS credentials. CloudBank continuously monitors resource usage, applies charges against your allocation, and delivers automated spend alerts. Regulated data is also supported on CloudBank. Currently, CloudBank is available to early-access users only. CloudBank expects to be available for general ACCESS and NAIRR Pilot users in December.
