== Introduction ==


This wiki page provides information about the user communities and use cases who are exploiting the EGI Federated Cloud infrastructure and its services. These use cases and communities collaborated (or collaborate in the past) with the EGI Federated Cloud to enable scientific applications, simulations or tools in virtualised environments. The evolution of the Federated Cloud infrastructure is driven by the requirements of these use cases and the needs of the broader scientific community and industry in the European Research Area.  
This wiki page provides information about the user communities and use cases who are exploiting the EGI Federated Cloud infrastructure and its services. These use cases and communities collaborated (or collaborate in the past) with the EGI Federated Cloud to enable scientific applications, simulations or tools in virtualised environments. The evolution of the Federated Cloud infrastructure is driven by the requirements of these use cases and the needs of the broader scientific community and industry in the European Research Area.  


The EGI Federated Cloud User Support (FCUS) team during the porting and integration work of the use cases into the Federated Cloud, follows a well defined process described bellow. The various phases are described as well, and will be used in the next coming tables to list the [[Federated_Cloud_Communities#Ongoing_Use_Cases | ongoing]], [[Federated_Cloud_Communities#Production_Use_Cases | production]] and [[Federated_Cloud_Communities#Closed_Use_Cases | closed]] use cases.

Technical support is available via the EGI.eu Support Team

Introduction

This wiki page provides information about the user communities and use cases who are exploiting the EGI Federated Cloud infrastructure and its services. These use cases and communities collaborated (or collaborate in the past) with the EGI Federated Cloud to enable scientific applications, simulations or tools in virtualised environments. The evolution of the Federated Cloud infrastructure is driven by the requirements of these use cases and the needs of the broader scientific community and industry in the European Research Area.

The EGI Federated Cloud User Support (FCUS) team during the porting and integration work of the use cases into the Federated Cloud, follows a well defined process described bellow. The various phases are described as well, and will be used in the next coming tables to list the ongoing, production and closed use cases.

Use cases in a pre-assessment phase are not listed in this page.

Cloud.Use.Cases.StatusV2.PNG
Status Description
Pre-assessment FCUS members identified a potential use case that can profit from the EGI Federated Cloud services
Assessed The use case requirements are assessed with relevant information added to a dedicated wiki page, to manage the full porting & integration process
Preparatory The user & FCUS team setup the environment to execute tests on the FedCloud (configuration of client environment, identify resource providers, upload vm images, ...)
Test & Integration Users are accessing the FedCloud through the fedcloud.egi.eu VO to execute tests while integrate their applications to the infrastructure
Pre-production Test & integration phases were successfully completed. Create a production Virtual Organization (VO) or join an already existing VO
Production VO negotiate and agree on VO SLA with EGI. Use case is being used in production. The use case completed all tests and is regularly making use of the Federated Cloud using a production level VO
Closed Test & integration successfully completed. Use case does not foresee moving into production.
Cancelled Test & integration did not successfully completed. User cancelled the use case.

Production Use Cases

The following table shows the use cases in production status phase that are regularly making use of the EGI Federated Cloud using a production level VO.

ESA SSEP Data processing Natural sciences In the context of the Helix Nebula initiative, the European Space Agency organized a Proof of Concept using EGI Federated Cloud resources. The pilot proved the possibility to support the SuperSites Exploitation Platform flagship using academic resources, such as the one provided by the EGI federated cloud. An instance of the SSEP processing cluster has been instantiated into the EGI Federated cloud, on several EGI sites, connected with the SSEP processing platform and used to run test earthquakes monitoring related processing (such as SBAS and Gamma IPTA processing). SlipStream was adopted as Infrastructure broker. Wiki page
