Overview
In this seminar, you will learn the basics of "mdx II", an OpenStack-based virtual server computing platform installed at The University of Osaka and operated by the Data Utilization Society Creation Platform Collaborative Organization, as well as how to use the system.
For those who wish to try the system, we will provide a "Seminar Trial Account" that allows you to use the mdx II system free of charge for approximately one week.
※Even if you use a Seminar Trial Account, you will still be eligible for the initial trial use, so please feel free to take advantage of it.
This seminar is highly recommended for those considering using the mdx II system to build servers or conduct research.
Participation is open to everyone, including faculty members and students from universities and colleges of technology, as well as those from private companies. Please feel free to join us.
