Before submitting an ISCRA project, it is possible to ask for a “try” project. A “try” project serves the purpose of evaluating if the ADA cloud infrastructure fits the project requirements, and of estimating the resources to be requested in the ISCRA submission. The PI can request a “try” project by sending an email to superc@cineca.it.  Maximum allocations per “try” project are: 

• Duration: 2-3 months 
• VCPUS: 16 
• Storage: 100 GB 
• fIPs: 1 

The “try” project can be granted only if the PI has no other ISCRA project active. No extensions can be granted and it can be requested only one try project before an ISCRA project submission. 

• Number of vCPUs: total number of cloud vCPUs (it can be used in one or more VMs) 
• RAM: this is automatically assigned proportionally to the number of vCPUs (the ratio is 1 vCPUs – 7 GB of RAM) 
• Permanent storage in GB, used both for the root partition in the VM and for additional cinder volume to be attached to the VM if needed 
• Number of Floating IPs: public, static IP address both to ssh in the VM and for exposing services
