Cloud Platforms

• Ivana Krenkova (CESNET)

Description

The EGI Cloud offers a multi-cloud IaaS with Single Sign-On that allows users to easily run their research workloads on different providers with similar capabilities. Dealing with the heterogeneity of the providers may be a daunting task that can be alleviated by using Cloud Platforms that simplify and facilitate the access to the EGI Cloud by providing higher level abstractions. In this session we will feature several of these Cloud Platforms and have an open discussion for analysing how to enable these as full featured EGI services.

Presentation

Serverless computing, in the shape of an event-driven functions-as-a-service (FaaS) computing model, is being widely adopted for the execution of stateless functions that can be rapidly scaled in response to certain events. However, the main services offered by the public Clouds providers, such as AWS Lambda, Microsoft Azure Functions and Google Functions do not fit the requirements of...

19. EKaaS - Elastic Kubernetes as a Service in EGI Federated Cloud

Dr Ignacio Blanquer (UPVLC)

Presentation

The use of Docker containers for packaging applications is becoming extraordinarily popular. With more 100.000 applications, Docker Hub is becoming the de-facto standard for application delivery. In the last years, Kubernetes has also become a highly convenient solution for deploying Docker containers in a multi-node backend. Kubernetes is, therefore, a suitable platform for many types of...

2. MiCADO - A highly customisable multi-cloud orchestration and auto-scaling framework

Prof. Tamas Kiss (University of Westminster)

Presentation

Many scientific and commercial applications require access to computation, data or networking resources based on dynamically changing requirements. Users and providers both require these applications or services to dynamically adjust to fluctuations in demand and serve end-users at a required quality of service (performance, reliability, security, etc.) and at optimized cost. This may require...
