Andromeda
Andromeda is the main web application used to access PERSEUS. It provides the central entry point for users who want to use PERSEUS through a browser.
Instead of working with different services directly, users open Andromeda, sign in and use the available PERSEUS functions from one place.
Role of Andromeda
Section titled “Role of Andromeda”Andromeda is responsible for the user-facing part of PERSEUS. It shows information clearly, guides users through common tasks and sends user actions to the correct part of PERSEUS.
Typical tasks handled through Andromeda include:
- signing in and out
- managing user profile information
- viewing project information
- submitting compute proposals
- creating support tickets
- managing SSH keys
- viewing status information
Andromeda does not handle every task by itself. Its main purpose is to provide the interface through which users work with PERSEUS.

A simplified request flow is:
