Cloud Platform Service (OpenStack PaaS)
Overview
This service provides a cloud platform based on OpenStack for provisioning virtualised compute, networking, and storage resources. It enables users to deploy flexible and isolated cloud environments for AI, data, and application workloads that require more control than shared HPC batch systems. The service relies on OpenStack-based cloud management, virtual machine provisioning, software-defined networking, managed storage integration, and tenant isolation.
Outcome
Provisioning of flexible and isolated cloud environments for AI and platform workloads with managed access to virtualised infrastructure.
