dvc-cc

DVC-CC is a wrapper for using the tool Data Version Control (DVC) to make it possible to use DVC to run your script in a cloud. To make this idea possible, we wrote a script that is part of a docker image that can:

1. download a git repository,
2. download all required files with your DVC storage server,
3. execute your script, and
4. push the results to GIT and to your DVC storage server.

To assign the right hardware for your need in the cloud, we use Curious Containers (CC). This Software runs on our cloud and manages the cloud.
