The DIKU cloud initiative is aimed at DIKU students, who want to do projects using resources on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing platform.
Cloud projects are special because it is difficult to do one without actually spending money. We have taken care of most of the money issues, so you can focus on technology and computer science related to cloud computing. All you have to do is to make a rough budget of the cloud resources you'll need in your project, and we take care of the rest. See the getting started page for more details.
The project has been made possible due to a generous AWS in Education grant award.
DIKU has one single pool of EC2 credits to use on the Amazon Cloud each year. Student projects can be funded until credits run out. Currently there are plenty of credits for student projects, so go ahead and apply!
