Clouds

...

Each project with access to the European Weather Cloud is called a Tenant. Tenants are isolated environments with unique users and workloads, with no access or visibility to other tenants in the same infrastructure. 

Clouds

Every partner in the European Weather Cloud Federation makes available their infrastructure to the users. Each one of them is seen as a Cloud in Morpheus. Regardless if your tenant is set up at ECMWF, EUMETSAT or any other partner,  from your account you may provision in any of the clouds configured.
