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.

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...
