### Helmholtz Cloud
The cloud team is currently preparing the Initial Service Portfolio.
The selection process for the initial Helmholtz Cloud service portfolio has been successfully completed at october 6, 2020. At the end of this process, 38 services offered by nine Helmholtz Centers were selected. Considering that some services are provided by several centers, the initial service portfolio includes 21 different services.

The services proposed by the Helmholtz centers during the service survey in 2019/20 were evaluated according to defined service selection criteria. In order to conduct the evaluation, exclusion as well as evaluation criteria were made up. Afterwards, the services went through three iterations to filter out the most promising services. Each step examined the services in more detail.

#### Helmholtz Cloud Service Portfolio
The Helmholtz Cloud will appear as a federated cloud. All services are hosted by one of the 19 Helmholtz centers. There will be some services that are available for all Helmholtz employees. But in many cases, it will be unavoidable to sign an additional agreement between the providing center and the using organization. So, the services you can use will depend if the agreements between your organization and the providing Helmholtz center exists.
