Delivering Services and Solutions - Workshop: The EGI Federated Cloud: benefits for service providers and customers
- Enol Fernandez (EGI.eu)
Description
This session provides an overview of the computing services of EGI that deliver a distributed federated cloud infrastructure to perform any kind of data analytics for research and innovation.
The EGI service portfolio provides you various computing solutions to match your needs: Virtual Machine based computing for long-running services and for data analytics platforms; container orchestration powered by Kubernetes and Docker; facilities for massively parallel workloads. During this session we will describe the benefits the federation brings to both service providers and customers. The session will also feature research communities, including EGI-ACE thematic services, to report on their success stories in using these services in real-life research workflows.

This session will provide an overview of the EGI Federation Registry tool that allows service providers to manage the connection of their OpenID Connect and SAML based services to Check-in, the authentication, authorisation and user management service for the EGI infrastructure. The EGI Federation Registry provides a web interface which covers the whole service lifecycle, including the initial...
In this presentation, we will introduce you EC3, a tool able to deploy virtual elastic clusters (i.e. Kubernetes or SLURM clusters, among others) on top of the EGI Cloud Compute. You will know more details about the tool, its main capabilities, its interfaces (both CLI and Web portal) and how to start using it. Don't miss the session!
T-Systems was able to collect various experience working with the science community through e.g. Helix Nebula, Indigo-Datacloud, Copernicus and currently the OCRE framework.
The presentation will share some interesting findings and lessons learned, what is required to make good use of and in which scenarios science can benefit from commercial clouds.
