For information described in the columns see the text in the list below: JupyterLab: are you an UT employee, teacher or student and you are looking for an environment where you can easily gain knowledge or use various programming languages for prototyping, education, research or self-study. Then use UT-JupyterLab environment; Docker container / Kubernetes cluster: are you a UT employee and do you have an application in the form of a docker container / image and are you looking for a place to run it? Then request resources in our Kubernetes cluster. Virtual Research Environment (VRE). When you are looking for a flexible, efficient and scalable infrastructure for simulations and computations, you can make use of a Virtual Research Environment (VRE). For more information and support, see this link or you can visit the VRE-Portal directly; Buying your own IT-Equipment
- DMP-toolThe DMP-tool is the UT tool for writing your data management plan (DMP) and the notification of processing of personal data in research in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR registration). The DMP part of the DMP-tool has a generally accepted structure which complies to the policy of funders like NWO and ZonMw. The EU allows you to deliver a DMP based on this form as well. The DMP-tool can be found https://webapps.utwente.nl/dmp. More information about DMPs can be found at the Writing your DMP, which is part of the research data management websites.
- GitLab and DevOpsOne open DevOps platform is GitLab. Iterate faster, innovate together: '' The open DevOps platform is a single application for unparalleled collaboration, visibility, and development velocity.'' Gitlab GitLab is the open DevOps platform. Iterate faster, innovate together: The open DevOps platform is a single application for unparalleled collaboration, visibility, and development velocity. GitLab is a single application for the entire software development lifecycle. From project planning and source code management to CI/CD, monitoring, and security. Gitlab @ UT is available at https://gitlab.utwente.nl.
- JupyterLabAre you a UT employee, teacher or student and you are looking for an environment where you can easily gain knowledge or use various programming languages for prototyping, education, research or self-study? Then use the UT's JupyterLab environment. About JupyterLab Project Jupyter exists to develop open-source software, open standards, and services for interactive computing across dozens of programming languages. JupyterLab is a web-based interactive development environment for Jupyter notebooks, code, and data. JupyterLab is flexible: configure and arrange the user interface to support a wide range of workflows in data science, scientific computing, and machine learning. JupyterLab is extensible and modular: write plugins that add new components and integrate with existing ones. For a detailed explanation and options, please refer to the WIKI section in UT JupyterLab. More information Requests You can access the environment at: https://jupyter.utwente.nl/ From outside UT-network a VPN-connection is required! Costs
- Kubernetes/DockerAre you a UT employee and do you have an application in the form of a docker container / image and are you looking for a place to run it? Then request resources in our Kubernetes cluster. Description A docker container can be seen as a light version of a virtual machine where only the application dependencies are packed in a container. Containers are a very efficient technology to run apps and workloads in a server environment. Kubernetes takes care of the management of the docker containers in the cluster. If your app is in a container and you need to create multiple instances, it is possible to expand the number of resources. Infrastructure: The Kubernetes infrastructure is managed by LISA. The Kubernetes cluster is spread over both data centers of the UT and currently offers protection against hardware failure. In the event of hardware failure, the cluster ensures that the containers are brought online to another node in the cluster. The created containers are the responsibility of the project owner. Access

- Selection tool managing research dataSelecting the best UT facility to manage research data UT offers a range of facilities for managing data during your research, such as storing and/or sharing data. By answering these questions in the selection tool managing research data you will be guided to the best suitable UT standard facility/ies. In case the combination of answers does not result in one of the standard facilities, please contact ICT Account manager or DataSteward in your faculty. They can help you to find a specific solution. In case of managing confidential, e.g. personal data, please consult the Cybersecurity website. For archiving static data after finishing your research project, UT offers Areda.
- Virtual Research Environment (VRE)Information about a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) Are you an UT researcher and are you looking for flexible, efficient and scalable computing infrastructure to perform simulations / calculations? Then use the Virtual Research Environment (VRE). Virtual Research Environment From an inventory and discussions with researchers, it has been noted that computing infrastructure plays an increasingly important role in research. Standard workstation facilities such as a desktop or notebook are not suitable or not powerful enough for complex calculations. It is necessary to scale up to equipment with higher availability and / or computing power. The Virtual Research Environment (VRE) offers an environment with the following characteristics: Quick access to computing capacity (In addition, can also be removed quickly if no longer necessary); Not complicated (no technical knowledge necessary); Uses public cloud infrastructure (Microsoft Azure); Flexible (by simply scaling up and down the amount of CPU and Memory or by
