1. Bring the Umbrella system into production
Next steps 1

2. Productionalize Umbrella
Productionalize the Umbrella
Following steps need to be implemented to allow productional use of the Umbrella system:
Deploy Umbrella on state-of-the-art hardware.
A proactive monitoring of the Umbrella system is necessary to find errors or crashes in realtime and to react on them.
The user data needs to be backed up and made sure that it can be restored(!).
Geographical distribution and clustering of the Umbrella both helps in high- availability and load-balancing. Ideally a DNS based geographic load balancing strategy is used to ensure that endusers will reach the nodes closest to them.
Naming conventions for the federation metadata must be established and cultivated.
A clear directive on how service providers must be configured must be provided.

3. Productionalize Umbrella
Security Check
A professional and independent security check must be conducted to ensure the integrity of the security of the Umbrella:
A conceptual check to find flaws in the design
A penetration test to find holes in the implementation
This security check will deliver a review with found flaws and proposed solutions.
A counter measure catalogue must be established and gradually implemented.
After implementing counter measures the Umbrella must be tested on these flaws again.
Ideally a periodic security check on the Umbrella is conducted to maintain a high level of security to its users.

4. Productionalize Umbrella
Rollout the Umbrella
The implementation of a distributed system cannot be done in one step. Following partitioning is planned:
Rollout and productionalization of the Identity Provider and all central services
Integration of local services and web user offices.
The functionalities of the Umbrella system have been modularized. This allows a step-by-step implementation and also skipping steps.
Still unclear on the selection of the rollout strategy:
Step-by-step facility SP integration
All facilities at once SP integration

5. Productionalize Umbrella
Umbrella extensions to implement
The optional extensions can be skipped if unwanted but not the User Authentication
Umbrella extensions
Mandatory extensions
User Authentication
Optional extensions
Attribute Updater
Proposal Module
Indico
Security Token Service
...

6. Productionalize Umbrella
Rollout strategy
Step-by-step facility SP integration strategy:
2-3 facilities to start integration with
Other facilities can join on demand
Extensions can be implemented on demand
All facilities at once SP integration:
All facilities start at one point and implement at least 'User Authentication'
Other extensions can be implemented on demand
Pros
Cons
Step-by-step
Resource friendly
No timely readiness
All facilities
Ensure functionality at an early stage
Difficult planing of resources
