Projects are responsible for covering all costs associated with the SMCE. These costs include the following:

NASA overheads for the use of managed cloud environments

Note that overheads are necessary to cover the costs associated with the NASA enterprise management of commercial clouds and if on Amazon, AWS enterprise support. The SMCE does not add any overhead to projects.  

Small amounts of seed funding for projects to explore cloud use is available. Please contact the SMCE support team to discuss funding and to get an estimate for your project costs:
