The Blue-Cloud Service platform features a variety of services that can be used for undertaking world-class science via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework, by featuring leading operational marine research infrastructures and e-infrastructures. As part of its service offer, the Blue-Cloud service catalogue gathers all the services enabled in the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) that will be onboarded in the EOSC Catalogue. This onboarding, once finished, will allow easy access to all EOSC users to Blue-Cloud services via the EOSC Portal Marketplace .

The Blue-Cloud project is piloting a cyber platform bringing together and providing access to multidisciplinary data from observations and models, analytical tools, and computing facilities essential to support research to understand better and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability. 

• Read more about Blue-Cloud D3.4 Blue Cloud Demonstrator Users Handbook V2

This handbook describes the 12 thematic IT services developed and made available for users as part of the Blue Cloud platform and tested in real scenarios via the demonstrators, plus 2 additional generic IT services available directly from the platform. Users are able to discover and understand the services and then to re-run each of them as proposed by the developers. To do this, they will need first to register as a Blue Cloud user.

• Read more about Blue-Cloud D2.8 Blue-Cloud Architecture (Release 3)

This deliverable D2.8 describes third and final release of the Blue-Cloud architecture as it is at Month 33 (June 2022) and it is and an update of the earlier 2nd release of the Blue-Cloud architecture document D2.7. Given the agreed extension allowed to the Blue-Cloud project until March 2023, there might be some further refinements to the architecture in the upcoming 9 months to allow to optimise some of its services to better respond to user needs.
