This document explains how operational activities map to EGI-InSPIRE SA1 tasks and provides guidance to SA1 staff on how to report activities and effort. For a complete overview of EGI InSPIRE activities, please refer to the EGI-InSPIRE Description of Work.
Task 1: Activity Management
(Task leader: T. Ferrari, EGI.eu)
- (NGI) participation to the Operations Management Board (OMB)
- (NGI) participation to bi-weekly operations meetings
- (NGI and EGI.eu) Review of SA1 and non-SA1 milestones and deliverables
Task 2: A Secure Infrastructure
(Task leader: M. Ma - STFC, Dep. S. Gabriel - Nikhef)
- (NGI) participation to EGI CSIRT. EGI CSIRT covers all aspects of operational security aimed at achieving a secure infrastructure within EGI. It ensures both the coordination with peer grids and with the NGIs and NREN CSIRTs.
- Incident Response Task Force (IRTF) Handle day to day operational security issues, coordinates Computer-Security-Incident-Response
- Security Drills Group (SDG) testing of the inter CSIRT communication channels and assessing the Site-Security-Teams readiness to handle IT-security incidents.
- Security Monitoring Group (SMG) Develop, deploy and maintain security monitoring tools.
- Training and Dissemination Group (TDG) Raise security awareness and improve security for system administrators by providing security training and best practice
Task 3: Service Deployment and Validation
(Task leader: M. David - LIP, Dep. M. Lechner - KTH)
- (NGI) Participation to staged rollout of middleware component updates
- (NGI) Interoperability at the NGI level: operation of multiple middleware stacks and novel resources (virtualization, HPC, etc.), interoperability with regional grids, feeding interoperability requirements into EGI
- (EGI global task) Definition and implementation of a new workflow to automate software deployment cycle, from release of the sw developers to deployment
- (EGI global task) Coordination of the staged rollout activities carried out by the NGIs
- (EGI global task) Liaison with gLite Collaboration release team (interim)
- (EGI global task) Chairing the operations meetings
- (EGI global task) Operational interoperation between NGIs and with international Grids, e.g. of the accounting and monitoring infrastructure, gathering or requirements
Task 4: Infrastructure for Grid Management
(Task leader: E. Imamagic - SRCE)
- (NGI) Deployment (system management and validation) of regional instance of operational tools:
- regional Nagios and MyEGI portal (mandatory)
- regional GOCDB (prototype available)
- regional operations portal and dashboard
- regional accounting portal (prototype available)
- Provide feedback on tool deployment issues and requirements
- (EGI global task) Deployment of central operational tools
- GOCDB (STFC), operations portal and dashboard C. L'Orphelin (IN2P3), central Nagios-based SAM components and MyEGI W. Lapka (CERN), central messaging infrastructure C. Kanellopoulos (AUTH), central network monitoring tools (downcollector) M. Reale (GARR)
