Roadmap and Technology | Technology insertion plans UMD Release Schedule Overview | Glossary





The following new technologies are currently in the planning to be inserted into the EGI production infrastructure.

SAGA

In various discussions with the SAGA Project members during the EGU User Forum in Vilnius, TCB meetings and other occasions, the following was agreed:

  • The SAGA adapters (for the various existing Grid middleware stacks such as UNICORE, gLite etc.) will not be provisioned through the SAGA project. Instead, the larger projects responsible for these stacks will take the respective adapters through their certification processes and publish the plugins through their repositories to EGI.
  • The maintenance of the SAGA adapters will be provided by either IGE, EMI, or SAGA (transparently behind either EMI or IGE).

QosCosGrid

The QosCosGrid (QCG) middleware is used in the Mapper Project. The Mapper project and EGI Operations are interested in having the QosCosGrid middleware components provisioned through EGI's Software Provisioning process into the UMD.

The following outlines a plan and rough target dates for when QCG components may appear in UMD releases, once it is agreed to go down that road.

Process owner is the EGI Technology Manager.

Step Name Description EGI liaison/contact Documentation Target date
1 Initial security assessment An initial security assessment needs to demonstrate whether the software is considered reasonably safe enough to be deployed in the EGI production infrastructure. An external security assessment is also considered satisfactory input to reach a decision. SCG chair, COO QCG security assessment May 2012
2 Set up an MoU An MoU between EGI and a legal entity representing the QosCosGrid provider group/consortium needs to be set up. Strategy and Policy manager June 2012
3 Pioneer Resource Centres for production deployment A minimum number of Resource Centres are needed that are willing to deploy QCG off the UMD repository for production use to support their local user communities.

Training for site admins may have to be provided by the CQG Technology Provider, and must be recorded here as requested, and provided.

COO, Operations Officer, CCO June 2012
4 Resource Centres acting as Early Adopters At least one, better two or more Resource Centre are necessary for Staged Rollout. Once found they will coordinate with the Staged Rollout Manager.

Training for site admins may have to be provided by the CQG Technology Provider, and must be recorded here as requested, and provided.

COO/Operations Officer, Staged Rollout Manager June 2012
5 Sign and agree an SLA An SLA needs to be set up to formalise the technical relationship between the QCG consortium and EGI. Technology Manager, Strategy and Policy Manager July 2012
6 Verification recruiting Before QCG gets accepted for production deployment, it must be verified against Quality Criteria. There must be at least one verification engineer available for each QCG component that is intended to be deployed in production. Two ways forward are possible here:
  • Existing verification engineers take on the job to verify QCG
  • New verification engineers must be recruited, on voluntary (unfunded, best effort) basis.

Training for verification engineers (whether existing or new) may have to be provided by the CQG Technology Provider, and must be recorded here as requested, and provided.

QC Verification group leader July 2012
7 Compile set of Quality Criteria A set of Quality Criteria need to be compiled for CQG. This can be sourced from existing quality criteria, newly developed Quality Criteria, or both. QC Definition group leader August 2012
8 First provisioning of QCG for UMD A first bundle of QCG components are taken through the EGI Software Provisioning process. QC Verificaiton group leader, Staged Rollout Manager September 2012
