Summary
This page contains details of the Nimbus hardware and how to start using it
Flavours
Each instance has a 'flavour' which determines how much RAM and how many virtual CPU cores the instance has access to. The following table shows relevant flavours:
| Flavour | CPU Cores | RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| n3.1c4r | 1 | 4GB | |
| n3.2c8r | 2 | 8GB | |
| n3.4c16r | 4 | 16GB | |
| n3.8c32r | 8 | 32GB | |
| n3.16c64r | 16 | 64GB |
Apply to use Nimbus
To begin using Nimbus, submit an application at Pawsey's application portal. Detailed how-to is given here
IMPORTANT: All projects now have a six-month validity period, after which an application must be submitted for an extension if continued Nimbus use if required (an automated email will be sent with a link to a pre-filled form).
All Nimbus projects also get 1TB of Acacia object storage automatically (can request up to 10TB) via the application portal page.
