The cloud federation offers a range of pre-configured environments, enabling biologists and bioinformaticians to choose the configuration best suited to their analyses. These virtual bioinformatics environments, developed by members of the IFB community, are listed in the Biosphère catalogue. These predefined environments can also be modified by users themselves, if necessary, to add new features.

Researchers, lecturers, engineers and students can set up their own virtual environments with dedicated resources that can be tailored to their needs without interfering with other users. The IFB cloud is used for numerous scientific projects and training courses, workshops, hackathons and regular sessions for science schools and university courses.
An account provides access to a basic computing quota (36,000 vCPU.h) and a range of resources (from 1 to 255 vCPUs, up to 3 TB of RAM, and GPUs) per virtual machine for the duration of the jobs (though these are deleted when the virtual machine is shut down). Greater resources may be requested for scientific projects or training courses. Persistent, shared storage space may also be requested for projects and training courses; this will be shared amongst all the virtual machines in the group.
