Description
Platform as a service (PaaS) is a category of cloud computing services that provides a platform allowing users to develop, run and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. This double-session brings together various stakeholders from the EGI Community who are interested in the development, integration of PaaS solutions for research, and/or in using PaaS to deliver SaaS (Software as a Service) environments for researchers. The session aims to facilitate interactions among these stakeholders and move EGI towards an ecosystem where PaaS and SaaS services are operated alongside IaaS offerings.

IaaS clouds are very popular since you can easily create simple services (Linux PC, web portal, etc.) in the cloud. However, the situation is much more difficult if you want to build dynamically, on demand a complex infrastructure tailored to your particular needs. A typical infrastructure contains processing services (HTC, HPC), database services (RDBMS, repositories, task lists, etc.) and...

Indigo-Datacloud is a recently started H2020 project. Indigo-Datacloud will develop a PaaS platform that will be introduced in this talk. The platform will provide a set of core services simplifying access to geographically distributed resources by providing capabilities to orchestrate the usage of the underlying computational and storage resources.
The main development will focus on:...
