'''Nebula''' is a Federal [[cloud computing]] project under development at [[NASA Ames Research Center]] in Silicon Valley, California.

'''Nebula''' is a Federal [[cloud computing]] platform that originated at [[NASA Ames Research Center]] at Moffet Field, California. The Nebula project was ran under the ACITS 2 contract originally held by Perot Systems. Nebula hosted many advanced research projects, as well as the white house ran usaspending.gov open data project.

The Ames Internet Exchange (AIX), was formerly [[MAE-West]], one of the original nodes of the [[Internet]], and is a major peering ___location for Tier 1 ISPs, as well as being the home of the "E" root name servers. The AIX provides connectivity to the Nebula Cloud, enabling [[10GigE]] connections to [[CENIC]] and [[Internet2]].

== History ==

Nebula is an open-source project and uses a variety of open-source components, including [[OpenStack]], [[Lustre (file system)|Lustre]] and [[RabbitMQ]].
