Workplan Overview

January 2014: Kick-off of the activity

  • Hold first call - 23 Feb 2014 @ 12:00 CET (TBC)
  • Establish fixed day and time for semi-monthly calls

April 2014: First phase implementation of all technical specifications, list of required agreements and refinements to policy issues documented in the EGI Sustainability Plan (M48)

  • Technical
    • Review technical detail table and complete with relevant information
    • Associate prices within GOCDB according to instructions provided here
    • Accounting Portal to make required extraction from GOCDB and accounting for usage
      • Pull the site data and create a table for use in displaying charging. This table should be directly viewable, at least for the pilot.
      • Create test cpu view like the cloud one. Best to base it on the Custom_View so that we can select particular VOs relevant to the pilot.
    • Investigate and implement a billing function (initially a virtual bill)
    • Perform a gap analysis of supporting services (either new or extensions to the current tools) that would enable the increased automation of the process once it has been manually established and subsequent development required for missing functionality.
    • Report back on identified issues and overall progress
  • Policy/Legal
    • Identify and evaluate legal, policy, and organisational issues around the full implementation of the pay-for-use model (review initial information from first survey)
    • Articulate appropriate business and responsibility models (review initial broker models developed)
    • Request potential consultation from FedSM regarding service management processes and agreements.
    • Collate information to be presented within Sustainability Plan that is easily digestible (Lead: EGI.eu)

May 2014: Pay-for-Use aspects included in Federated Cloud release (even in Beta/pre-production)

  • Identify members involved in the EGI Federated Cloud to serve as pay-for-use representatives
  • Gather requirements from the EGI FedCloud for its inclusion
