We are presenting a cloud environment framework for JWST processing. A system is already in place for HST processing using services provided by the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre tools and the CANFAR infrastructure deployed on Compute Canada Science cloud. Once the JWST system is in place, users will be able to run JWST processing on a virtual machine with access to latest versions of the JWST pipeline software, python user tools and calibration reference files. The system will support collaboration and data sharing amongst teams.
