EGI Cloud brings together IaaS resources from NGIs to support (federated)
research communities
Pilot and test with fedcloud.egi.eu or access.egi.eu VOs, production usage with
community VOs with SLAs
Check-in enabled federation: access the service with your own credentials, both
web and CLI/API
AppDB VMOps, a common dashboard for the federation
Evolution
Improved native API support, more complete information
Even more lightweight federation, while keeping same user features
Summary
Editor's Notes
#3: List of services of EGI powered by the EGI Cloud Federation
#10: User communities build either on top of orchestration tools that allow to deal with multiple providers in a homogeneous way or directly interact with the native APIs of the provides. Both cases they can use single sign-on thanks to Check-in.
A common GUI provided by AppDB VMOps brings a user-friendly dashboard to manage the resources at the distributed providers
The EGI federation services are integrated with the providers using their native APIs to deliver the extra features of EGI Cloud mentioned in previous slide
GUI access:
AppDB VMOps https://dashboard.appdb.egi.eu/vmops
API/CLI access:
