The NET+ Infrastructure and Platform Services program will soon relaunch with a new name that better captures its importance to our R&E community: The Cloud Infrastructure Community Program.
NET+ Infrastructure and Platform Services Annual Access Fees
Community activities—facilitated peer discussions, working groups and associated activities—are foundational to the NET+ Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NET+ Google Cloud Platform (GCP) programs. The Internet2 Cloud Infrastructure Community Program allows researchers, educators, engineers, and IT leadership to tackle these challenges together so individual organizations can benefit from the experience, knowledge, and expertise of the community as a whole.
In order to balance the need for community cost recovery and program financial sustainability as well as attempting to balance as many competing approaches as possible—consistent “Access Fees” are as follows:
- An annual Access Fee applies to all institutions subscribing to NET+ Amazon Web Services and for non-Internet2 members subscribing to NET+ Google Cloud Platform.
- There is a one-time $1,000 registration fee* for joining the program.
- Internet2 may consider a grant award for organizations based on need.
Annual Fees:
