If you are using the European Weather Cloud at ECMWF, you may have noticed a new cloud choice in your tenancy. We have enabled the access to the new cloud infrastructure at ECMWF Bologna providing the European Weather Cloud service, which will replace the pilot one you may have been using up to now. 

We would like to invite you to jump onboard and take some time to start exploring the new computing and storage service, and review your migration journey. Since no virtual infrastructure, applications or data will be moved automatically, we strongly encourage you to check Migration of the European Weather Cloud at ECMWF to learn what changed, what is already available and what steps you need to take to ensure a smooth transition. 

We will continue to work on the system to make available the remaining missing features. In the meantime, you are welcome to start testing your applications in the new cloud throughout the summer, as well as copying over any data you wish to keep using on the new cloud. And if you are working on something new, we would recommend you start on the new cloud straightaway.

As always, if you have any concerns or you would like to discuss your options for the migration, please do get in touch with us through the European Weather Cloud Support Portal.
