Are you looking for a high-level, hands-on virtual learning experience with AWS, combined with exposure to cloud services and terminology? Join us on May 26 from 12-4 p.m. ET for CLASS Essentials for AWS. This virtual course is designed for cloud computing beginners looking to facilitate or develop research workflows on the cloud.

The four-hour, virtual interactive course is designed to introduce the “what” and “how” of cloud computing for research using AWS. Participants will have an immersive experience on the basic concepts of cloud computing and will leave with knowledge of how to compute, provision storage, and build research workflows in the cloud.

InCommon BaseCAMP is geared toward those new to identity and access management, new to InCommon, or both. This virtual workshop focuses on the basics of identity and access management, an introduction to the InCommon Federation, and overviews and demonstrations of the community-developed identity and access management suite, the InCommon Trusted Access Platform.

The 3^rd Internet Reunion Club public session will focus on “Using the Internet” (as opposed to building the internet) in the period between 1983 to 1992, i.e. before the web/browser.

The session features a panel of speakers and internet pioneers from the period giving short talks, and then answering questions from participants.
