Sharing

Share a cluster like a document. Access appears when you share and disappears when you stop.

In RosettaCloud, almost everything you create can be shared with a right-click: with a person, a group, a project or a whole organization, including one at another institution. You do not need to be an administrator, and nobody has to write a policy or exchange credentials.

What you can share

Share What the other person can do
A formation Launch the same environment for themselves, in their own account and budget
A running session Open the same machine or desktop, to work on it with you
An image Launch machines and desktops from your saved environment
Storage Read or write the same bucket, file system or volume, from their own machines
A cluster Run work on the same Kubernetes, HPC or big data cluster
Cloud keys, key pairs, scripts Use them without seeing the secret behind them

How access works

When you share, RosettaHub issues the recipient temporary credentials for exactly that resource, and revokes them when you stop sharing. A machine in one account, or on one cloud, can then use storage in another, with no IAM work by either side.

  • Ownership stays with you. Recipients get access, not ownership, and can clone their own copy.
  • Changes flow through. Update a shared formation and recipients see the new version.
  • Budgets stay separate. What a recipient launches from your formation or image runs in their account, against their budget.

Common patterns

Pattern How
A course The teacher shares one formation with the class's organization; every student launches the same lab
A research collaboration A researcher shares data and images with a partner institution, whose members join the same project
A team catalogue Bundle formations and images into a portfolio and share the portfolio
Pair work Share a running session with a colleague for a debugging or teaching session
