We have published two new guides on using the cloud for research. These guide are outcomes of our work as part of the RAPPORT (Robust APplication PORTing for HPC in the cloud) project which was funded under the JISC/EPSRC Cloud Computing in Research programme. The first guide - Best practice for using cloud in research - is for researchers. The second guide - Best practice for funding the use of cloud in research - is for funders. Together these are intended to help researchers, funders, senior managers and research directors understand the issues involved in using and deploying clouds for research.
