Resource Discovery

Resource discovery on Chameleon allows you to explore and identify the specific hardware resources available for your experiments. You can discover nodes by their hardware characteristics, view detailed specifications, check maintenance history, and reserve specific resources that meet your experimental requirements.

All physical resources available in Chameleon are described in the Chameleon resource registry. The resource registry is based on the Reference API from the Grid’5000 project. Users can consult the registry via the resource discovery GUI or directly via REST APIs.

Note

Some resource discovery features are available through the Chameleon Portal, while others are available only through the REST APIs.
