Understanding how to preserve your valuable research on Chameleon Cloud is crucial for research continuity and community contribution. Here's how to extend the lifespan of your resources through smart public sharing

Last year was remarkable for our blog, with over 10,000 views and 5,700 active users. As we kick off this year's tips and tricks series, we wanted to highlight the "evergreen" advice that our community returns to time and again. In this roundup, you'll find our most impactful insights - the strategies and solutions that have stood the test of time - each with a brief description and a direct link to the full article. Let's start the year by building on what works!

Facing network issues, floating IP shortages, or login troubles on Chameleon? This blog post highlights the top challenges users encountered over the past year and shares practical tips and tricks to resolve them quickly. Learn how to tackle firewall misconfigurations, manage floating IPs efficiently, troubleshoot login errors, and more. Save time and streamline your Chameleon experience!

Welcome back, Chameleonaires! As we transition from summer to our usual routines, check out the new and improved resources for getting started with Chameleon. Our engineers have been hard at work creating new tutorials, including interactive Trovi artifacts and live sessions. We've also updated our Getting Started guide to make it easier to use Chameleon’s powerful tools. Dive into our latest Trovi artifacts and tutorials to boost your research efficiency. Happy experimenting!

Many folks in our community (now over 10,000 strong!) use our testbed for projects with student interns, REU sites, and summer courses. In Summer 2022, we started a series of introductory tutorials to help students quickly learn the ropes and hit the ground running on their summer projects. While Chameleon has extensive documentation, webinars, and blogs demonstrating our features and latest updates, these tutorials add extra structure, interaction, and context for those eager to harness the power of Chameleon.

The BigDataX program is a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Chicago, Illinois. Students work with mentors on research projects covering a wide variety of computer science subject areas, including Data Management in Scientific Computing and Blockchains, Data Analytics and Systems, Operating Systems & Computer Architecture, Edge Computing with CHI@Edge, and much more. Apply now! Application deadline is March 4, 2024

The REPETO project (an initiative funded by the NSF FAIROS RCN to build a network for practical reproducibility in experimental computer science) invites FAST’24 attendees to join our BoF sessions planned for February 27th and February 28th to learn about packaging storage research experiments on Chameleon. Pre-register with us for the BoF sessions by February 20, 2024 (link to interest form is in the blog!).
