## How Do I Create a Shared Cloud Environment for My Lab/Core

To use the shared cloud resources available, you will need to send in a request to the UAB IT Research Computing Team via email <support@listserv.uab.edu>. In the email, please state clearly your needs and the resources you would require for your lab. Your request should also include members of your lab to be included in the Shared Cloud Environment, and a preferred name (usually same as lab project folder on Cheaha).

This is a good start, thank you! I think it's time for us to consider using macros. I'd rather the text not be copy-pasted in multiple places, because if we need to change it, we'll need to remember to change it everywhere.

Instead, I'll get the macros plugin added and get the "How Do I Request Shared Storage?" content turned into a macro.

Then, we'll come back and update this PR to use the macro.
