Free tier	The page states plainly that "The Grid'5000 Open-Access program is closed" and directs readers to the account page instead. Grid'5000 is an instrument of roughly 1,000 nodes across French sites plus the universities of Luxembourg and Louvain, used by reserving specific nodes interactively rather than by queueing jobs, and an account now requires justifying a use of the testbed "for its intended purposes" at a French site. unit none; metered on wall-clock; closed-programme

Composes with	Nothing composes, and the reason is the point: Grid'5000 was the standard recommendation for a researcher outside France who needed bare-metal experimentation, and the closure removes that path, so any chain built on it has to start again from CloudLab or FABRIC.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded because the Open-Access programme is still cited in guides and papers as the way an outside academic reaches Grid'5000, and the vendor page contradicts them in one sentence. This is a withdrawal rather than a product death, so the record is fails-identity and not dead: the instrument runs and accounts are still issued. The corpus holds no Grid'5000 record. The node count of roughly 1,000 is widely repeated but was not read on a page, so it is described rather than stated as a measured figure and no vcpu value is given.
