Bridging the Digital Divide
Students and educators at public schools and universities often face budget constraints, lengthy procurement processes, and limited access to the computing resources they need. The Tampa Devs Cloud removes those barriers entirely, giving students and organizations immediate, free access to run virtual machines, test code, and work on real infrastructure projects.
How We're Built
Standardized by academics, designed by engineers, built by volunteers, and bootstrapped by developers.
Open Source
Built entirely on open-source software. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary restrictions.
Education First
Free for public institutions, schools, and universities. Students learn on real infrastructure.
Built by Engineers
Designed and operated by volunteer cloud engineers, data center professionals, and developers.
Who It's For
Made Possible By Volunteers & Our Incredible Sponsors
The Cloud is spearheaded by Justin Herron, a Navy veteran and cloud engineer. It's built and maintained entirely by skilled volunteers from the Tampa Devs community, and made possible by the generous support of our sponsors.
The project launched at the Tampa Devs BayHacks 2024 Hackathon, where participants tested code on virtual machines and helped shape the platform.
Help Build the Cloud
We're looking for cloud engineers, data center gangsters, sysadmins, and anyone passionate about open-source infrastructure.
