For more than 6 years, the de.NBI Cloud has provided free of charge computing resources to the life sciences community in Germany. Scientists involved in various research topics, such as metagenomics, medical imaging, epigenetics, and plant biology benefit from the opportunities provided by the de.NBI Cloud.

With our annual user meeting, we would like to highlight topics of interest to our user community.

This year we are focusing exclusively on experienced users, while new users will be offered recurring introductory courses in SimpleVM and OpenStack starting next year. We will give our current users the opportunity to deepen their understanding of best practices in cloud computing. There will be workshops on advanced topics such as container orchestration with Kubernetes or handling cloud-based clusters with BiBiGrid.

The de.NBI Cloud User Meeting supports the interaction with our growing community. Thus, we would like to hear from you about the specific needs of the scientific life sciences community, allowing us to shape the future of the de.NBI Cloud according to sophisticated and specialized use cases.

This year, we are organizing the de.NBI Cloud User Meeting as an online event via zoom in December from 02.12 to 06.12.

The scope of this meeting includes advanced workshops tailored for experienced users and opportunities to engage with experts on diverse cloud computing topics

We look forward to welcoming experienced researchers from many different bioinformatics and life-science research areas to delve deeper into cloud computing and the de.NBI Cloud.
