Scipion has been chosen as the main use case to design Westlife architecture as described here.

Instruct Research and Development pilot project

Pilot EM cloud Computing was a project to deploy and test Scipion software on AWS EC2 platform and create a public Scipion AMI that could be used by EM users to easily instantiate its own Scipion Virtual Machine on the AWS cloud.

The aim was to have a standalone Scipion AMI that could be used as a stand-alone or as a elastic cluster.
