Openstack is a multi-tenant virtualization-platform, and as a user at NTNU you can get access if you need virtualization resources. Through the openstack platforms at NTNU you can order either one of:
- A single virtual machine with an operating system of your choice
- A full openstack project where you are able to create networks, routers and virtual machines at your own will.
Getting access or help
In general, all users should use our contact forms in NTNU Hjelp. There is one form for getting access, and one form for getting help or reporting issues. With the forms available, you will get in touch with the appropriate team.
Getting started
If you just recieved a full openstack-project, and does not really know how to proceed, we would like to recommend one of our initial-setup guides:
