In this 3-hour hands-on tutorial, participants will set up an instance (aka virtual machine) on the Jetstream2 research cloud, and install The Littlest JupyterHub (TLJH) to create a shared computing system. Designed for researchers and educators with basic Linux skills, the session focuses on a simple, practical setup that they can repeat at their institutions.

Jetstream2 is a flexible, user-friendly cloud computing environment built on OpenStack. It is available to US-based researchers and educators at no cost through support from the National Science Foundation's Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) program.
OpenStack is a free cloud computing platform that provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It helps organizations set up and manage public and private clouds. OpenStack includes tools for computing, networking, storage, and identity management, making it easy to build flexible and scalable cloud systems on different hardware.
