Federated cloud PaaS and SaaS

• Diego Scardaci (EGI.eu/INFN)

Description

Platform as a service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) provides users with higher abstraction layers than Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to build and run applications without dealing with the details of the infrastructure in the case of PaaS, or to directly use the applications with thin clients or via web browsers in the case of SaaS. This double session showcases various efforts for using the EGI Federated Cloud to host both kind of solutions for researchers. The session aims to facilitate interactions with the various members of the EGI Community developing PaaS and SaaS solutions, to gather further requirements for the EGI Federated Cloud to better support them and to promote these solutions among researchers.

The Occopus orchestrator enables to deploy complex services (virtual infrastructures) in multi-cloud environments. Such a multi-cloud system is the EGI FedCloud and hence an important objective of the Occopus team was to make Occopus EGI FedCloud compliant. In order to achieve this we have developed an OCCI plugin that enables to access the EGI FedCloud resources. As a result Occopus users can...

82. Enhancement of the FutureGateway and workflows frameworks in order to support within INDIGO Platform the use cases provided by the INDIGO Communities

In Cloud computing, both the public and private sectors are already offering Cloud resources as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). However, there are numerous areas of interest to scientific communities where Cloud Computing uptake is currently lacking, especially at the PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service) levels. In this context, INDIGO-DataCloud (INtegrating...

83. Dynamic Deployment and Execution of Hadoop Applications on EGI FedCloud Resources

With the rapid increase of data volumes in scientific computations, the importance of utilising parallel and distributed computing paradigms in data processing is becoming more and more important. Hadoop is an open source implementation of the MapReduce framework supporting processing large datasets in parallel and on multiple nodes in a reliable and fault-tolerant manner. Scientific workflow...
