Last summit we introduced the work being done by the Indigo DataCloud project, whose members include CERN, UPV and many other institutions in Europe. The goal is to build a sustainable infrastructure for science, spanning multiple computer centers and existing public clouds.
We rely on TOSCA as the standard to model the full stack, and have now expanded the infrastructure to include multiple OpenStack and OpenNebula sites and public clouds running proprietary software. As the infrastructure grows and extends to include more countries, so do the use cases both in number and complexity.
In this presentation we will summarize the work being done both in the Heat Translator and the TOSCA parser, and how we build on them to model and deploy our infrastructure. We will demo a complex application defined using TOSCA and deployed in multiple heterogeneous sites, along with some of the workflows we apply to running applications.
Attendees will learn what TOSCA is and how they can benefit from it to model their own applications. Some basic and more advanced examples will be introduced, along with experiences and feedback of deploying a large infrastructure using the TOSCA standard.
