EGI-EUDAT: ICOS Use case - 16 June 2016

Attendees:
EGI: Enol, Matthew, Diego
EUDAT: Dejan
ICOS: Ute, Margareta, Oleg, Mitch

* Ute shortly described the use case

* Status of the pilot:
- Ute successfully tested the creation of a VM with Docker on the FedCloud. She setup a docker container and performed computation using data manually copied in the VM.

* Discussion on some point of the documents:
- AAI: agreed on the suggested model (using a robot certificate to interact with EGI-EUDAT infras). Further integration between ICOS and EGI/EUDAT AAI could be considered in the future
- Testing the communication channel between EGI/EUDAT
- Testing the ODP/OneData to share data between VMs
- Load balancing questions and permanent IP address. Now, LB is needed mainly for fault tolerance. ICOS needs an image with the OS, NGINX and Docker installed.
- Tools for automatically creating/destroying VMs according to workload
- Data provisioning: how new data will be upload in the system

* Agreed action plan:
Priorities:
- Testing the communication channel between EGI/EUDAT
Ute will start some test using the work done by Diego for the EGI-EUDAT integration pilot.
Documentation is available here: https://appdb.egi.eu/store/swappliance/egi.eudat.integration.pilot
@Ute: please, check the documentation and come back to me for any questions. There is a contextualisation script linked to the test software appliance that you can re-use for your VM.
- Testing the ODP/OneData to share data between VMs
Diego will produce some simple documentation
- Load balancing questions and permanent IP address
Diego, Enol and Matthew will discuss internally and propose a solution

Other actions:
- Tools for automatically creating/destroying VMs according to workload
Solutions compliant with the EGI FedCloud to be evaluated: 1) EC3 http://servproject.i3m.upv.es/ec3/ 2) Occupus http://occopus.lpds.sztaki.hu/
- Data provisioning: to be discussed later

Next meeting:
28 June 15-16:30 CEST
