Thanks to the Dutch Digital Heritage Network for their hospitality hosting the launch of CloudViPER on #WDPD2025. It was wonderful to connect in such a welcoming space. The tool is now ready to use - installation instructions can be found here openpreservation.org/tools/how-to-get-cloudviper/

OPF team members Darren and Amanda had a great time on #WDPD2025 at the CloudViPER launch event at the Kanaal30 creative hub in Utrecht - and even had time for some retro gaming!

Happy #WDPD! Introducing CloudVIPER, which bundles essential digital preservation tools into one place. CloudVIPER builds on the original VIPER tool, allowing users to now access these tools through their browser without needing to install a virtual machine. Find out more👇 #digitalpreservation

Earlier today at #iPRES2025, we introduced CLOUDViPER - the online cloud-hosted version of #ViPER, developed in partnership with the #DDHN. Workshop participants explored functionalities and learned how to upload test files: twelve.eventsair.com/QuickEventWe... #digipres Full release coming soon!

I may not have been in New Zealand in person today, but it was fun back in Europe doing some late night system monitoring of the new #CloudViPER k8s platform while it got a bit of a stress test during today's workshop
I was ready to help, but things went smoothly :)

Participants will gain practical experience with both ViPER and CloudViPER. The session will include guided demonstrations of the user interface, exploration of preloaded test files, and opportunities to upload personal files for testing.

CloudViPER offers a browser-based, virtual environment designed for testing and utilizing digital preservation tools. This platform overcomes technical barriers such as restrictive IT systems and limited access to command-line interfaces, making it accessible and easy to use.

This hands-on workshop introduces CloudViPER, developed by the Open Preservation Foundation in collaboration with the Dutch Digital Heritage Network.

Don't forget to sign up for workshops and tutorials if you're registered for iPRES this year! There are lots of great topics on offer and practical opportunities to learn to use a variety of digital preservation tools!

Today we're highlighting Workshop 8: CloudViPER
