The EGI Conference 2019 took place in Amsterdam, 6-8 May 2019, as a forum for the EGI Community to discuss the state of the art of the EGI Federation, future and emerging trends, requirements and experiences: national, local and at the level of the data centre.
The event was also an opportunity to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Operations of what is now the EGI Federation. Read the special issue of the EGI Newsletter.
The programme was a mix of topical sessions, workshops and space for debate on topics related to the EGI Federation.
We thank all participants for the success of the event!
This session includes contributions focusing on:
- Use cases and experiences from the integration of community AAIs with the EGI federated AAI infrastructure (from the perspective of VREs, scientific gateways, data analytic frameworks, analytics services, and data exploitation platforms);
- EGI and (other) e-infrastructure service providers requirements and experience in integrating their own existing AAI infrastructure with the EGI federated AAI;
- The latest technical advancements of federated AAI solutions, related use cases and technical developments aiming at advancing the EGI federated AAI infrastructure.
Jupyter provides a powerful environment for expressing research ideas as notebooks, where code, test and visualizations are easily combined together on an interactive web-frontend. JupyterHub allows to deploy a multi-user service where users can store and run their own notebooks without the need of installing anything on their computers. This is the technology behind the EGI Notebooks service and other similar Jupyter-based services for research.
In this training we will demonstrate how to deploy a JupyterHub instance for your users on top of Kubernetes and explore some of the possible customisations that can improve the service towards your users like integration with authentication services or with external storage systems. After this training, the attendees will be able to deploy their own instance of JupyterHub on their facilities.
Target audience: Resource Center/e-Infrastructure operators willing to provide Jupyter environment for their users.
Pre-requisites: basic knowledge of command-line interface on Linux.
We invite all attendants to join us for drinks and Dutch snacks at the Oerknal Cafe (just across the road in the Universum building)
This session is a working meeting for discussing the evolution of the EGI AAI Check-in service and its roadmap based on recent technical developments, as well as related use cases and experiences in the areas of federated identity and access management.
The Security Workshop at the EGI Conference 2019 will address aspects of the recent Service Security Challenge run against the EGI infrastructure, SSC-19.03. The intended audience for the workshop includes system administrators and security contacts, as well as FedCloud users operating services connected to the internet.
The participants will get an introduction to the basic forensic techniques needed to successfully respond to the simulated attack
mounted during SSC-19.03. The attack was designed to allow the responders to find a set of artifacts by applying a range of forensic techniques of increasing complexity.
In the hands-on session, the participants will be provided with a VM infected with the 'malware' used in SSC-19.03. They will then be guided through the methods necessary to solve the challenges built into the simulated attack.
An additional introductory session would give an overview of the EGI CSIRT procedures and background to the development of technology used to run SSC-19.03
EGI Notebooks is an environment based on Jupyter and the EGI cloud service that offers a browser-based, scalable tool for interactive data analysis. Jupyter provides users with notebooks where they can combine text, mathematics, computations and rich media output.
This session aims at building an open community of users and providers around the Jupyter ecosystem. First we will present first the current status the EGI Notebooks service and those similar initiatives from other EGI partners. Second, user communities will have the opportunity to bring their specific requirements and needs for Jupyter-based services. Third an open discussion will focus on defining a roadmap for the EGI Notebooks and related to better serve the needs from the community.
The April meeting of the Operations Management Board. This is a monthly or two-monthly meeting designed to be relevant for NGIs and includes topical issues relating to operations within the EGI Federation.

Session around Data Management, this part will focus on providing updates from developers and solutions providers.
Following the recent announcement of the end of support for Computing Resource Execution And Management (CREAM) software component, the EGI and CERN Operations Team are running this session to help service providers migrate to alternative solutions. This session will look at ARC and HTCondorCE as well as the work being done to integrate HTCondorCE into EGI. It will provide the opportunity for anyone to discuss any concerns with the changes resulting from the end of support for CREAM.

Session around Data Management, this part will start by presentations of requirements and exploitation by some user communities and will finish by an half an hour discussions to explore collaborations and piloting activities.

This session is a working meeting of the NGI International Liaisons, but it is open for conference attendees as well. During the session EGI User Community Support Team and the NGI Liaisons will share and discuss recent updates and experiences in the topic of engaging with and supporting new communities.
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.
This session will showcase the current status of research cloud federations, with a clear focus on the EGI Cloud providers. It will consist on short presentations from cloud sites (new-comers, long-running and non-EGI) highlighting their latest developments and what are the pros and cons of federation. New models and opportunities will be presented followed by an open discussion.
The Grid Deployment Board (GDB) is part of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid Collaboration (WLCG) and acts as a forum for technical discussions and planning between the resource centres and VOs. In practice this requires background agreements with other organisations that run various parts of the infrastructure - such as grid operations, certificate authorities, organisations providing VO management, network providers, etc.
The GDB meetings are open to all interested members of the WLCG collaboration. Other parties may be invited for specific discussions.
This session will provide technical and scientific updates including changes to infrastructure resources, improved scheduling efficiency of user analysis jobs, new technologies facilitating workflow development and deployment to cloud resources, data cataloguing activities, and scientific use cases leveraging distributed compute and data resources.
This session will be dedicated to define the technical roadmap of the EGI Cloud Service. Starting with a brief status update of main teams involved, the session will then open the discussion on how to shift of operations of integration tools from sites to a catch-all team and will finalise with a roadmapping exercise covering AAI, cloud-information, cloukeeper and extra services.
