Warning:
The installation manual is now available at https://egi-federated-cloud-integration.readthedocs.io/. Information below is not maintained and outdated!
Common prerequirements and documentation
General minimal requirements are:
- Very minimal hardware is required to join. Hardware requirements depend on:
- the cloud stack you use
- the amount of resources you want to make available
- the number of users/use cases you want to support
- Servers need to authenticate each other in the EGI Federated Cloud context; this is fulfilled using X.509 certificates, so a Resource Centre should be able to obtain server certificates for some services.
- User and research communities are called Virtual Organisations (VO). Resource Centres are expected to join:
opsanddteamVOs, used for operational purposes as per RC OLA- a community-VO that supports EGI users (e.g.
fedcloud.egi.eufor piloting)
- EGI provides packages for the following operating systems (others may work but we are not providing packages):
- CentOS 7 (and in general RHEL-compatible)
- Ubuntu 16.04(and in general Debian-based)
Integration
Documentation is available at https://egi-federated-cloud-integration.readthedocs.io/
Registration of services in GOCDB
Site cloud services must be registered in EGI Configuration Management Database (GOCDB). If you are creating a new site for your cloud services, check the PROC09 Resource Centre Registration and Certification procedure. Services can also coexist within an existing (grid) site.
The integration documentation details how to register your services into GOCDB
Installation Validation
Check validation documentation for details.
