WATcloud Team Documentation

Overview

As a WATcloud member, you have access to a variety of resources to help you get started and be successful.

First, you should get familiar with all of the services that WATcloud provides. Using these services regularly (e.g. run your homework assignments and personal projects on the compute cluster) will help you understand them from a user's perspective¹.

Next, you should understand the WATcloud Guidelines. These guidelines are a set of best practices that help produce high-quality work and facilitate collaboration.

Finally, you should obtain access to various tools that the team uses. You can do this through the onboarding-form. Here's a list of the most important ones:

• Discord: Our primary communication platform. Select the WATcloud role, and Incoming Member if you are new, or Core Member after you've polished and deployed your first WATcloud project.
• GitHub: Our primary code repository. Select WATonomous Team to get access to internal repos.
• Compute Cluster: Our primary compute resource.
• WATcloud Internal Tools: A collection of internal tools (e.g. Prometheus) that you may find useful.
• Sentry: Our error tracking tool. Select WATcloud Team to get access to WATcloud projects.

As you get more involved in the team, you may need to access additional tools or upgrade your access level. A team lead will help you with this.
