1. WP5 – Flagship Deployment Period 1 Review Phil Evans – Logica/CGI 1

2. WP5 Objectives Porting of the flagships to the cloud infrastructure provisioned by WP4. Evaluate and iteratively refine the deployment environment based on the need to improve the capabilities of each flagship. Specific goals To initially deploy the three flagship applications on the cloud infrastructure, at a limited scale, in such a way that the flagships can be used by their intended user communities; To assess the success of the deployments in terms of key evaluation criteria to be defined by each flagship; To move to a full scale deployment based on the results of the initial deployments and any necessary refinements of the application or deployment environments. 2

5. Scientific/technical achievements and their impact Completed: Initial Proof of Concept Deployments (H1, 2012) successfully completed and documented in D5.1 Agreed Success Criteria & Metrics (MS11) On-Going: Pilot Phase deployments on preliminary Blue Box environments (WP4) Task 5.5: Deployment Security Management 5

6. MS11: Success Criteria & Metrics Agreed with both demand/supply-side Criteria: Time to First Instance Time to port image, gain network connectivity, first instance of flagship application running Scaling Ability to scale to desired levels, time taken to scale first instance/full-scale, number of failed node deployments Performance Performance of application on suppliers’ infrastructure, network performance. Cost Actual cost against projected cost, cost per “job” Support Suitability of support provision within the federated environment Flagship Organisation Specific SLA/T&Cs analysis against the set of points outlined by the QMUL Cloud Legal Project in their recent paper "Negotiating Cloud Contracts: Looking at Clouds from Both Sides Now". 6

7. Initial Deployments Evaluation Completed H1, 2012 Documented in D5.1 1-1 Deployments; No federation Identified key areas to address before future deployments Shaped the environments currently being used for the Pilot phase deployments. 7

8. Pilot Phase Deployments Evolved Environments, 1 Commercial Blue Box, 1 Open-Source Blue Box Evolved Supplier Infrastructure Began late March Deployment planning many months before deployments began Weekly, and in some cases, daily progress and coordination calls Delays due to factors external to the FP7 project. 8

9. Evolving deployment schedule for second round of deployments 9

10. Overall modifications, corrective actions, re-tuning of objectives Task 5.5: Deployment Security Management extended to cover the CSA’s Cloud Security Alliance Security, Trust and Assurance Registry (STAR) Increased effort for flagship deployment coordination due to increased complexities Two Blue-Box Deployments Delays due to technical issues 10

11. Security Assessment & Challenge Logica + Cloud Security Alliance Focuses on the Federated/Blue Box aspects of the pilot Key Areas: Federated Cloud Management Key Management Availability Interoperability Asset Management Incident Management Lightweight Penetration Test Currently underway & results GA3 - Heidelberg Decision to publish on STAR subject to agreement with all suppliers. 11

13. Collaboration with other beneficiaries Demand-Side & Supply-Side Input to D5.1 & MS11 EMBL, CERN (+ ESA) Weekly Deployment Call CERN, EMBL, T-Systems, Atos, CloudSigma and other Helix Nebula initiative members ESA Daily calls to mitigate problems with specific flagships 13

14. Interaction with other FP7 projects and stakeholders outside the consortium SixSq (SME): SlipStream : CELAR/StratusLab SlipStream open-sourced under CELAR, key point in adoption for some suppliers. Interoute : Cloud Service Provider ESA – Flagship Application provider The Server Labs (SME): Service/Deployment Support 14

15. Summary Proof of Concept deployments successfully completed, evaluated against MS11 criteria and documented in D5.1 Pilot phase deployments underway via the two Blue Box deployments Pilot deployments to be evaluated & presented at GA3 Security challenge to complete with results at GA3.
