EduCloud Server Service is now part of UBC Hybrid Cloud Service. While EduCloud remains available as a dedicated service offering, it is now delivered as part of the broader Hybrid Cloud Service, which includes on-premises cloud infrastructure and public cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
EduCloud Server is a self-managed private cloud service for higher education that provides secure virtual data centre capabilities for provisioning, managing, and operating virtual servers. Designed for self-service, EduCloud enables clients to deploy and manage their own virtual infrastructure while meeting provincial privacy requirements under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).
Using the self-service web portal, you can quickly deploy virtual machines from templates, create and delete virtual machines, and adjust compute resources in minutes. This provides the flexibility to manage your environment anytime, from anywhere.
