INDIGO-DataCloud: A data and computing platform to facilitate seamless access to e-infrastructures

This paper describes the achievements of the H2020 project INDIGO-DataCloud. The project has provided e-infrastructures with tools, applications and cloud framework enhancements to manage the demanding requirements of scientific communities, either locally or through enhanced interfaces. The middleware developed allows to federate hybrid resources, to easily write, port and run scientific applications to the cloud. In particular, we have extended existing PaaS (Platform as a Service) solutions, allowing public and private e-infrastructures, including those provided by EGI, EUDAT, and Helix Nebula, to integrate their existing services and make them available through AAI services compliant with GEANT interfederation policies, thus guaranteeing transparency and trust in the provisioning of such services. Our middleware facilitates the execution of applications using containers on Cloud and Grid based infrastructures, as well as on HPC clusters. Our developments are freely downloadable as open source components, and are already being integrated into many scientific applications

Understanding Virtualized Infrustructure in Grid job Monioring

This paper is the first report on a new direction in the development of the Logging and Bookkeeping service, a gLite component tracking grid job life cycle. From the early days, Logging and Bookkeeping tracks not only jobs themselves but also the wider details of the job execution environment. Since a great portion of the infrastructure is now virtualized, the work at hand concerns tracking the virtualized nature of that runtime environment. With virtualization and cloud technologies being highly flexible and dynamic, we believe it is very important to gather and keep status information for machines used to run the workload. A newly created monitoring entity (a machine) will be integrated with job state information and provide an enhanced view of the current state and history of both the job and the infrastructure. This paper focuses on motivation, requirements coming from the Czech National Grid Initiative and possible consequences rather than the actual implementation. As a report on ``work in progress'' it describes an idea that is now being further elaborated and implemented to provide a solution for monitoring virtualized resources in the same context as the workload they are processing
