In the table below, you should provide your self-assessment for the EGI-InSPIRE "NGI International Tasks" for milestone MS124 "NGI International Tasks Review"
For more information on how to complete the tables, read the dedicated Instructions Page
Notes:
- This milestone is an assessment of services from a managerial perspective and should be reported as an evaluation of the services (e.g. objectives being met; resources to effort; issues; suggested strategic changes).
- 'DO NOT' report what your NGI did for those tasks/services as this is covered by the Quarterly Reports.
- In order to edit this page, you need to log in with your EGI SSO account and click 'edit' on the tab (top of this page).

How to Improve
|
After EGI-InSPIRE**
|
SA1.1N
|
NGI Activity Management
|
Overall good
|
4
|
Funding concerns often dominate the management activities; no simple solution for that
|
Less focus on central operation/services
|
SA1.2N
|
A Secure Infrastructure
|
Overall good, but difficult to guarantee x509 user certs + site security. Still ok given the low criticality of the infrastructure (as it is perceived from the outside?)
|
3
|
In the long term reduce x509 necessity?
|
Move security procedures to VOs/local teams within the NGIs
|
SA1.3N
|
Service Deployment
|
Often important updates are delayed into UMD -> the repository might not be used after the end of the project. The Documentation is VERY POOR + yaim is going to bedeprecated (MAJOR problem)
|
2
|
simplify repository structure if possible, follow Linux distros procedures when possible.
|
several repo from the software providers, involve non HEP VOs for maintenance (difficult)-> cloud/VM templates better for certain use cases
|
SA1.4N
|
Infrastructure for Grid Management
|
Overall good, as mostly based on WLCG
|
4
|
involve non HEP VOs -> cloud solutions.
|
Expand cloud solutions for non HEP users (from hep centered to non HEP centered?)
|
SA1.5N
|
Accounting
|
ARC accounting is still not fully integrated.
|
3
|
|
Difficult to maintain/improve after the end of the project
|
SA1.6N
|
Helpdesk Infrastructure
|
Overall good. The required effort seems however fairly high
|
4
|
Render more efficient (less manpower required) and involve non HEP VOs if possible
|
Difficult to maintain/improve after the end of the project-> VOs should take over this effort (non HEP VOs will face major problems)
|
SA1.7N
|
Support Teams
|
Overall good, but difficult to maintain after the end of the project
|
4
|
Allow 1 to 1 interaction (via chat/phone) with sys admins/users, when needed.
|
move this effort to the VOs when possible. Non HEP VOs will face major problems.
|
SA1.8N
|
Providing a Reliable Grid Infrastructure
|
Overall good, but mostly because based on WLCG, which also provides some internal monitoring and quality assurance
|
5
|
Better and more efficient monitoring
|
move monitoring to VOs, drop some unnecessary tasks
|
