CloudLab is a facility for experimenting on cloud architectures and applications. It lets researchers and students see and modify parts of the cloud that would normally be hidden from them: by going all the way down to the bare metal, CloudLab lets users build their own clouds, with full control of the virtualization layer, storage, network interfaces, and even complete network switches. This enables a level of innovation not possible in commercial clouds.
CloudLab has over 1,500 servers at three sites, as well as additional federated partners. It has a wide variety of CPU architectures, network technologies, accelerators, programmable network devices, and other equipment that makes up parts of today's clouds and datacenters. CloudLab is funded by the National Science Foundation, and is free for
use for research and education.
