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.

Karamel is an orchestration engine [1] for Chef Solo that enables the deployment of arbitrarily large distributed systems on both virtualized platforms and bare-metal hosts. This orchestration engine is heavily used in the BBMRI (Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research nfrastructure) [2] environment to provision large computing clusters with specialized software stacks on demand. OCCI...

77. How the INDIGO-DataCloud computing platform aims at helping scientific communities

Scientific workloads require customized computing power adapted to the hardware, software and configuration requirements of the applications. Providing users with the ability to deploy customized virtual infrastructures easily and execute jobs and services from an integrated system is the goal of the INDIGO-DataCloud’s computing platform. This platform aims at providing an integrated IaaS +...

80. IM - Infrastructure Manager: Deploying Customized Virtual Infrastructures on EGI FedCloud

Dr Ignacio Blanquer (UPVLC), Miguel Caballer (UPVLC)

IM is a framework that can deploy multi-VM, complex and customized virtual infrastructures on multiple back-ends. The IM automates the selection of the rightmost Virtual Machine Image (VMI) and the deployment, configuration, software installation, monitoring and update of virtual infrastructures. It supports a wide range of public (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) and on-premises...

79. Research Infrastructures for astrophysics research: the EXTraS experience with the EGI FedCloud

Luca Roverelli (CNR/IMATI)

Modern soft X-ray observatories can yield unique insights into time domain astrophysics, and a huge amount of information is stored - and largely unexploited - in data archives. Like a treasure-hunt, the EXTraS project (Exploring the X-ray Transient and variable Sky, http://www.extras-fp7.eu) is harvesting the hitherto unexplored temporal domain information buried in the serendipitous data...
