Cloud & VM status
From GridPP Wiki

This page will collect information from GridPP sites regarding their current deployment of job execution systems providing VMs, including Clouds. The information will help with wider considerations and strategy.
For sites with multiple VM Provider / VM Lifecycle Manager implementations, please create multiple rows.
12March2015: please don't edit this page while I'm sorting out a first proper version of it. Thanks, Andrew
