1. GOCDB + EGI Marketplace
STFC Daresbury Labs

2. GOCDB Overview Configuration Management DB:
CMDB: Semi-Static Site/SE info
Not a user-facing SE marketplace
Audience (SPs/Technical):
EGI/NGI Managers, Site Administrators, CSIRT
Internal Role Model:
Proj/NGI/Site self-mange memberships + roles
Defines Business Rules:
Site Certification, State Flags (Production/Test), Project Scopes (‘EGI’, ‘Local’, ‘ProjectX’)
Interfaces:
Portal + REST API to query info
Roles
Roles
DataModel = Glue2ish subset

4. GOCDB’s Role
GOCDB’s role is an underlying Service registry (e.g. Sci-gateways, PaaS/SaaS cloud service descriptions)
Overlying marketplace can then query for ‘in-scope’ Service Descriptions (SD) for display in storefront
Exclude ‘out of scope’ operational services
Aim to keep Service Descriptions DRY[1]:
Multiple registries, but input/register a Service’s Description ideally in one place
Reduce SD duplication and inconsistencies
‘Content-Enrich’ in other tools when appropriate
When suitable, aim is reduce need to ‘content enrich’ overlying marketplace with extra attributes
Service meta-data stays DRY
Service meta-data stays linked to service
[1] Don’t Repeat Yourself

5. What additional SD attributes are needed to support overlying marketplace?
Register Business Parameters alongside Sites/Services
Pricing Schemes, SLA Templates
Subclass ‘glue2:Policy’ (abstract) => PricingPolicy + SLAPolicy canonical templates supported by EGI.
Link multiple Policy instances to a Service (e.g. SLA Gold, Silver, Bronze; Price per VO; Price/Scale: small, med, large)
Replace current pilot ‘P4U_*’ (Pay4Use) extension params
Proposed to GlueWG
Service Endpoint
SE defines 3 canonical PricingPolicy templates (small, medium, large)
Small
Review related vocabulary/attributes (FitSM, USDL, …)
