Quick Start Instructions to Get Rolling with OpenStack
From UCSC Genomics Institute Computing Infrastructure Information
Request an OpenStack Account
Once you have PRISM/GI VPN access, you can request an OpenStack account. You will need to send an email to cluster-admin@soe.ucsc.edu asking for access, and let us know which lab you are in, or who your PI is, so we can place you in the right OpenStack group.
Log In To giCloud
Once you have been notified that your account has been set up and have been given login credentials, connect to the VPN and then go to this link, which is the login page:
https://gicloud.prism
To login, enter your username and password. Also you will see a "Domain" field, just enter the word "default" for the domain. Click "Log In". You will be logged into your group's summary page.
