This wiki page provides user documents and service information that help end users to better understand EGI (and its third-party's) services.
EGI Services
Cloud Computing
The Federated Cloud is a standards-based, open cloud system that federates institutional clouds to offer a scalable computing platform for data and/or compute driven applications and services in research and science.
Training Materials
- Research Computational Infrastructure: Cloud infrastructures, [ppt]. This training was given by Giuseppe La Rocca & Gergely Sipos, 16-17 Aug 2018, during CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer Schoo 2018l. It provides up-to-dated information about EGI cloud computing and EGI services (AppDB, Jupyter Notebook), including demo and exercise. It also gives an overview about EOSC and EOSC-hub project.
- Research Computational Infrastructures: Cloud computing & the EGI Cloud [ppt]. This training was given by Giuseppe La Rocca & Gergely Sipos, 10-21 Jul 2017, during CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School 2017. It covers topics including EGI Cloud, contextualisation and data management. Exercises are included.
- Using the EGI Fed-Cloud for Data Analysis, [pdf]. This training was given by Giuseppe La Rocca, 03-07 Jul 2017, during the EUDAT Summer School, FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece. It gives an overview on EGI services with focuses on Cloud Computing, covering topics such as block storage and object storage. It also includes topics how to link EUDAT services with EGI FedCloud.
- Introduction and command line usage of the EGI Federated Cloud [ppt]. This training material is provided by Gergely Sipos, 05 Oct 2016. The goals of the training are to help users to learn the concept of IaaS Cloud Computing, conceptual model of the EGI federated Cloud, to obtain skills in using the standard interface of the EGI federated cloud and become an active user. Hand-on exercises are included.
- The EGI Federated Cloud for application developers (API access), [ppt]. This training is jointly given by Giuseppe La Rocca, Enol Fernandez del Castillo, and Boris Parak, 28 Sep 2016, during DI4R 2016. The topics covers EGI and EGI Federated Cloud, Access the training infrastructure. It also includes hand-on exercises.
