# Cloud services

CyVerse offers two types of cloud service:

- Continuous Analysis via ![](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/assets/atmosphere/cacao.png){ width="20" } CACAO
- Event Driven Services via ![](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/assets/de/icons/datawatchIcon.svg){ width="20"} DataWatch

CyVerse is partnered with [Jetstream 2](https://jetstream-cloud.org/){target=_blank} to develop its web interface, and to manage cloud-native applications such as Terraform, Argo Workflows, and Kubernetes.

Access to [Jetstream 2 login](https://use.jetstream-cloud.org/application){target=_blank} is managed through [ACCESS-CI](https://access-ci.org/){target=_blank}.

## Continuous Analysis

[cacao]: https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/assets/atmosphere/cacao.png

CyVerse built continuous-analysis frameworks for its own Atmosphere cloud (now deprecated) and for [Jetstream2](https://jetstream-cloud.org){target=_blank}.

[![][cacao]{width=30}](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/cloud/cacao/) [CACAO](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/cloud/cacao/) is a project enabling Continuous Analysis on Kubernetes clusters; its source is on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/cyverse/cacao){target=_blank}.

!!! info "Under the hood"

    CyVerse's cloud platforms, including CACAO and the deprecated Atmosphere, are described in [Cloud services](https://docs.cyverse.org/platform/cloud/){target=_blank} in the CyVerse Developer Documentation.
