# Research Computing Keywords

RC is Research Computing

## RC Domains

The following are domains that belong to us. As a a general rule, anything that ends with `rc.uab.edu` is ours. We plan to put all of our services in that domain.

- rc.uab.edu (Cheaha for now, will eventually become a portal to the others)
- cheaha.rc.uab.edu (Cheaha)
- cloud.rc.uab.edu (Cloud.rc)
- dashboard.cloud.rc.uab.edu (Cloud.rc)
- docs.rc.uab.edu (Documentation)
- exosphere.rc.uab.edu (Cloud.rc)
- gitlab.rc.uab.edu (GitLab)
- k8s.rc.uab.edu (Kubernetes.rc)
- s3.lts.rc.uab.edu (S3 Object Store via Ceph)
- lmgr.rc.uab.edu (Software license manager, MATLAB)
- xnat.rc.uab.edu (Neuro image repository)
- ldap.rc.uab.edu (Identity management)
- docs.uabgrid.uab.edu (Deprecated documentation, do not use, no support)
