# Welcome to the CSC Cloud!
The CSC cloud is a collection of compute, network and storage services
available to CSC members.
This service was made possible thanks to hardware donations and funding from:
* the Mathematics Endowment Fund (MEF)
* the Student Life Endowment Fund (SLEF)
* the Computer Science Computing Facility (CSCF)
## Available services
* [CloudStack](cloudstack) - Virtual machines on demand.
* [Virtual hosting](vhosts) - Domain name routing for websites.
* [Kubernetes](kubernetes) - Easily deploy your Dockerized apps.
* [Registry](registry) - A place to store your Docker images.
## Getting Started
First, make sure that [you are a CSC member](https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/get-involved/)
and that your membership has not expired.
Here is a list of general-use CSC machines which you may SSH into after becoming
a member:

If you wish to see the terms for which your membership is valid, you can run the
following command from any general-use machine:
```sh
ceo members get <your_username>
```
!!! warning
When your membership expires, all of your cloud resources will be **permanently deleted**,
so make sure that you buy enough membership terms in advance.
To start creating your own virtual machines, please see the [CloudStack](cloudstack)
page for more details.
