What you get with Cumulus in the Cloud

Cumulus in the Cloud offers a free, personal, virtual data center network that provides a low-effort way to see Cumulus Networks technology in action and to learn about the latest open innovations that can help you improve network designs and operations.

Your virtual data center consists of two racks with two dual-homed servers connected with a leaf-spine network. The infrastructure can be personalized with production-ready automation or left unconfigured as a "blank slate".

You can access your data center via web browser to:

  • Get started quickly with the “guided tour’ at the bottom of your console
  • Instantly deploy with production-ready automation
  • Directly interact with the elements with the jump server console
  • Access the Cumulus NetQ telemetry server
  • Explore Cumulus Networks technologies in a solution-oriented deployment
