VT CloudCaps

Full title: Transforming Scientific Applications to Exploit Cloud Capacity

Management

• Regular meetings: Tue 14:00 https://webconf.vc.dfn.de/egi-cloudcaps/?launcher=false
• We have a todo tracker at Asana, which is by invitation only https://app.asana.com/0/4057813236380/4057813236380
• Official results of the project will be published in the EGI Documents Database

Meetings

Whereas many topics discussed during meetings will be directly transformed into work items, some meetings may call for somewhat more elaborate minutes. These should go here.

Project Output

The project has two essential goals:

1. Transform select use cases to exploit cloud capacity
2. Document the lessons learned and best practices during the first activity

The output of these and any accompanying documentation will be put here.

Id	Document	Link
1	Identification of Cloud Capacity	VT-CloudCaps:Capacities
2	Matching Use Cases against capacity	VT-CloudCaps:UseCases
3	Questionnaire for user groups	VT-CloudCaps:Questionnaire
4	Best practices applicable when creating images	VT-CloudCaps:BestPractices
5	Evaluation of existing images (prior to optimizations)	VT-CloudCaps:OriginalImages
6	Contextualization	VT-CloudCaps:Contextualization

Recommended reading

There are a number of documents available from Amazon. I did find the overview document about AWS quite inspiring.
