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.

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 +...

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...
