WP7.5 - Integration and Operation Colin McMurtrie

Meta-agenda WP7.1 sub-session (20’) WP7.5 sub-session (50’) Details DoA Organisation of work WP7.5 sub-session (50’) Details of DoA Joint discussion on interdependencies (20’) ICEI WP7.1

Agenda Introduction of new members SGA1 Retrospective Good Bad Action Items for SGA2 (what should change) Most immediate items Integration of CEA and RWTH visualisation system Interface to WP7.1 Interactions with WP7.2 & ICEI/Fenix Wrap-up and AOB

Reminder: WP7.5 SGA2 Overview The main activities will be around the following areas: Infrastructure operations Middleware services Identity management Development and support for platform and development services Orchestration of resource usage Reporting and accounting Software deployment The rationale behind this structure is to continue the SGA1- WP7.5 activities, reinforce the support for Cloud-like services and to transform the infrastructure to utilise the ICEI/Fenix Infrastructure Services, as they become available.

Introduction of new members Short round of introductions Who you are and your area of expertise Which partner you are from Which task you will work in

Reminder of SGA1 Structure T7.5.1 – HPC + Cloud Services T7.5.2 – Data Services T7.5.3 – Low-level Infrastructure Services T7.5.4 – Application SW Services T7.5.5 – NEST as a Service T7.5.6 – Platform Integration Services T7.5.7 – User Support Services

Agile-like SGA1 Retrospective Separate into groups SGA2 structure (if enough attendees) otherwise Discuss from an SGA1 perspective (10-15’) Good Bad What needs to be done to improve things in SGA2 Reports from groups (5-10’)

WP7.5 Milestones (1) ID Description Responsible Task Due Date MS7.5.1 Full integration of RWTH visualization system, including storage T7.5.1 M12 (Mar 2019) MS7.5.2 Compute and storage resources of new HPAC partner CEA integrated T7.5.1, T7.5.5 M08 (Nov 2018) MS7.5.3 Internal review of operational status T7.5.1 - T7.5.5 MS7.5.4 MS7.5.4 Federated resource allocation policies defined  Linked to ICEI allocation processes T7.5.2 MS7.5.5 Security policy review  Discussion MS7.5.6 Review of Data Management Plan and Data Policy Manual document M06

Proposal for MS7.5.2 + MS7.5.1 Integration of Partner CEA Need to define a task force Define a prioritised list of work items (backlog) Organise the work on 2-3 week sprints Milestone: M08 (Nov 2018) Do the same for MS7.5.1 Full integration of RWTH visualization system, including storage Milestone: M12 (Mar 2019)

WP7.5 Milestones (2) ID Description Responsible Task Due Date MS7.5.7 Federated OpenStack services deployed and production ready  Track at WP7.5 level T7.5.3 M12 MS7.5.8 HPAC lightweight virtualization environment definition MS7.5.9 Production-ready data location service T7.5.1 M18 MS7.5.10 Software development and deployment environment established T7.5.4 MS7.5.11 Workflow management internal review T7.5.5

Summary of WP7.1 Interactions WP7.1 will work closely together with the other technical WPs of SP7 Will facilitate technical coordination within SP7 Provide use cases and requirements needed for adopting a co-design approach Towards WP7.2: Ensuring R&D being performed in compliance with the long-term strategy for developing and enhancing HPAC Towards WP7.5: Specifications provided by WP7.1 will be used as basis for integration work performed in WP7.5 Act as a link to the ICEI project by providing the necessary specifications and by validating the infrastructure realised through this project Forward looking roadmap for relevant technologies

Interactions: WP7.1 Milestones ID Description Due Date MS7.1.1 HPAC architecture specification v1 is available M08 MS7.1.2 HPAC architecture specification v2 is available M18 MS7.1.3 Template for use case specification and requirements documentation provided M02 MS7.1.4 Full set of use cases and corresponding requirements available M12 MS7.1.5 Approach for Platform validation for SGA2 defined M06 MS7.1.6 Knowledge transfer process for SGA2 defined M03

WP7.2 and ICEI/Fenix Both are important to WP7.5 WP7.2 colleagues used to be embedded in WP7.5 ICEI/Fenix is an important project which defines our Infrastructure Services Need to define interactions with these two entities There is already a lot of overlap Need to be clear on the demarcations Next session
