Agenda
Janet and Arcus/AWS
Janet Cloud Context
Janet Cloud Future
Janet Portal from ARCUS
• Portal to provide coherent admin facility to set up AWS
accounts and tie them back to monthly billing and
budgets
• Does not interfere with end user engagement with AWS
services once they have an account
• Existing Accounts can be tied to the portal
• Institutions and/or departments can sign up to the Portal
• Expect improved Ts and Cs
• Expect management information to facilitate access to
AWS volume discounts
