Executable e-Infrastructure (1/2) e-AGE How ASREN and Arab countries can benefit of all this ? We have adopted a “DevOps” philosophy People have different roles : Reduce the needed know-how; limit the need to know what you want to deploy Everything = code : Produce code which not only represents the infrastructure, but also “executes” it Everything = open : Produce code in an open, collaborative way ; discuss and develop in the same open forum (e.g., Try before you buy : All code is tested on a development infrastructure, before being merged into the master branch
Executable e-Infrastructure (2/2) 28 Tool of the trade: Ansible ( Widely-used ICT infrastructure automation tool, adopted to ensure that infrastructure and user services are “executable” Produce models of services, rather than instructions for experts – much easier to understand and adapt So…what can we do ? We can represent entire suites of services, credentials, roles, etc. in version-controlled code and we can execute them, even remotely if necessary We have automated procedures in place for Identity Providers, for Science Gateways and soon for clones of the INFN Open Access Repository We can then contribute to the spread of Open Knowledge and Open Science paradigms in the Arab region
Summary and conclusions 29 Science 2.0 vision can be implemented only if the “openness” paradigm becomes pervasive in research Science outputs’ reproducibility and extensibility are key to walk through the Research Cycle in both directions CHAIN-REDS has heavily contributed to e-Infrastructure harmonisation and has effectively promoted easy data discovery, access, enrichment and sharing; the DART Challenge demonstrates all that The Open Access Repository is a pilot data preservation repository of science products meant to serve both researchers and citizen scientists; what makes OAR different from other repositories is its capability to connect to Science Gateways and exploit cloud resources worldwide to easily reproduce/extend scientific analyses If interest arises, the Open Access Repository can be very easily deployed in an automatic way both at ASREN and in the Arab countries
