Gateways 2024 Tutorial: How to Spin Up a Short-term Cloud Science Platform for Workshops

Abstract: We discuss approaches for instantiating a short-term multi-user cloud for a large audience of cloud newcomers to teach better research software engineering skills within a domain-specific environment. We walk through our PyHC Summer School environment using the HelioCloud open source platform as the example, and discuss the logistics required and lessons learned.
