Request a new VM
Note that you need to be signed in on the PROBA-V MEP portal using your PROBA-V distribution portal account or your PROBA-V MEP account to request an OpenStack Virtual Machine (VM).
After receiving your request for a VM, the PROBA-V MEP team will validate your request and provide you feedback within two working days and a VM when your request is granted.
You will receive an e-mail explaining how to access your personal VM.
Your first VM for R&D purposes and with standard configuration (2 CPU,4GB RAM, 40GB Root Disk) can be provided for free. If you need more ICT resources or a VM for operational services according to a specific SLA, please contact VITO.
The PROBA-V MEP VM runs on the OpenStack private cloud hosted by VITO.
- This VM comes with several pre-installed commandline tools, desktop applications and developer tools which are useful for exploitation of PROBA-V data (e.g. GDAL, QGIS, GRASS GIS, SNAP, Python, etc ...).
- Access to the full PROBA-V archive.
- Target audiance are scientists and developers developing applications which use PROBA-V data. After the prototyping phase, the PROBA-V MEP processing environment can be used for larger scale processing. The end goal should be an application running on the MEP platform.
