#### Helmholtz Cloud Portal
The production version of the [Helmholtz Cloud Portal](https://cloud.helmholtz.de/) is released and will be continuously developed from now on. With some new features and a stable performance from the beginning, the beta phase can now be finished. The Portal allows harmonized access to all Helmholtz Cloud services. It contains all necessary information to access the available services.
* The new search function and filter options help to find a suitable service.
* The availability of the service is tested automatically and is visible in the service card.
* The service description contains all main information such as support, service level and limitations.
* User comments are welcome in the new free text field and will help to continuously improve the usability of the portal.
The Helmholtz Cloud Portal mediates the user's access to all Helmholtz Cloud Services. The portfolio is continuously being updated. The current status can be found [here](https://hifis.net/doc/service-portfolio/service-portfolio-management/current-services-in-portfolio/).
Next upcoming services will presumably be:
* LimeSurvey by HMGU
* Events Management platform by DESY (already usable via direct link [events.hifis.net](https://events.hifis.net/))
* Rancher managed Kubernetes by DESY
* JupyterHub by DESY
