This dashboard provides a summary of the resource you have access to based on your current package and quota. The dashboard is split into six sections; Announcements, Volume Storage, JupyterLab environment, S3 Object Storage, Team Information and Team Compute.
1. Announcements:
The CLIMB team will occasionally send important updates on the service or infrastructure.
Each announcement will appear slightly differently depending on the announcement category, with more recent announcements prioritised:
Service Outage: Red banner for infrastructure outages and maintenance downtime.
Service Restored: Green banner for infrastructure restoration.
Service Info and News: White banner for general updates on the service.
Info
We aim to provide at least 2 weeks notice of infrastructure downtime where possible. Please make sure to check your dashboard announcements regularly to stay in the loop !
You can minimise announcements by clicking the Mark as read button.
To open the announcements again, click the [N] announcements marked as read button.
