Text The fedcloud.egi.eu Virtual Organization (VO) brings together cloud computing and human resources to support the evolution of cloud-based scientific, and cloud development activities by:
- Providing a platform for application prototyping and validation.
- Acting as an infrastructure for piloting and demonstrating cloud-based scientific applications.
- Being an infrastructure for cloud-related system and technology testing and validation activities.

Those who are porting their software to this VO are expected to migrate to another cloud VO after the porting and validation phases. These phases should not last more than 6 months. The resources within the VO are expected to cover the full range of cloud functionality that is operating at a production level in the EGI Federated Cloud. The use of these services will help new users better understand the capabilities they wish to support within their own, long-term VOs for successful application setups.
