Guides
Step-by-step instructions on how to achieve common tasks.
Short Guides
Here are a series of short guides, PDF documents ready to print:
We've started with a Short Quota guide, which backs up the main How to check your file quota guide below.
We've followed the above up with a Long Running Processes short guide. This backs up the information in our main Long Running Processes guide.
We've written an ElasticSearch Tutorial showing a way of using our DoC private cloud to create a fleet of Short-lived (Ephemeral) cloud VMs to run a distributed computation as an experiment.
More will follow.
