Abstract

Jetstream is a first of its kind system for the NSF — a distributed production cloud resource. We review the purpose for creating Jetstream, discuss Jetstream's key characteristics, describe our experiences from the first year of maintaining an OpenStack-based cloud environment, and share some of the early scientific impacts achieved by Jetstream users. Jetstream offers a unique capability within the XSEDE-supported US national cyberinfrastructure, delivering interactive virtual machines (VMs) via the Atmosphere interface. As a multi-region deployment that operates as an integrated system, Jetstream is proving effective in supporting modes and disciplines of research traditionally underrepresented on larger XSEDE-supported clusters and supercomputers. Already, Jetstream has been used to perform research and education in biology, biochemistry, atmospheric science, earth science, and computer science.
