NCSU Cloud
OIT brokered cloud offerings work with NCSU managed resources such as authentication, logging and networking and are vetted by the NCSU Security & Compliance (S&C) team. More information is available at the OIT Cloud KB article.
Available cloud providers
OIT currently offers brokerage services for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Guard Rails
Operating in the cloud presents new security and configuration challenges to the University. Working with the NCSU Security and Compliance Team, we have established a guiding set of Guardrails designed to prevent the most common configuration mistakes. These rules are detailed here.
Brokered Cloud Features
Cloud Environments brokered through OIT will provide the following benefits.
- NCSU Managed Identity Access
- Connectivity to the NCSU Campus Network through a VPN connection (if needed).
- IP address/range management.
- Security & Compliance Oversight
- Centralized Logging
- Single Single on (MFA) integration

This service is available to NCSU Faculty and Staff.
While all three of the clouds the NCSU OIT supports offer a selection of free resources, OIT Managed AWS Accounts will require a NCSU Project ID for provisioning, OIT will centrally manage the billing and accounting and charge back through the departmental Project ID.
