Grid, cloud and virtualization
A Grid service allows applications to the run on many sites without modification. Virtualization provides the potential for deploying the same customized operating system at many sites.
This talk will present one of many possible security infrastructures and models to allow sharing and deployment of virtual machines images that meets the objectives of secure non-repudiation of images,...

Virtualization at CERN: a status report
We present updates to the virtualization services provided by CERN IT.
- CERNs internal cloud has been moved into full production mode in
December 2010, and has been running since then providing virtualized
batch resources. We will report on operational experiences, as well
as further developments made since the last meeting in...

Grid, cloud and virtualization
StratusLab (http://stratuslab.eu/) provides a complete, open-source solution for deploying an "Infrastructure as a Service" cloud infrastructure. Use of the cloud requires the use of prepared machine and disk images, yet preparing correct, secure images remains difficult and represents a significant barrier to the adoption of cloud technologies.
The StratusLab Marketplace is an image...

Grid, cloud and virtualization
In the last year we have established a system which replicates a standard Condor HTC environment across multiple distinct IaaS clouds of different types including EC2, Nimbus and Eucalyptus. Users simply submit batch jobs to a Condor queue containing a custom attribute which is a pointer to the Virtual Machine Image they would like booted to service their job. The system automatically boots...

Grid, cloud and virtualization
The Fermilab Campus Grid (FermiGrid) is a meta-facility that provides grid infrastructure for scientific computing at Fermilab. It provides highly available centralized authorization and authentication services, a site portal for Globus job submission, coordination for interoperability among the various stakeholders, and grid-enabled mass storage interfaces. We currently support approximately...

GSI is a German national laboratory for heavy-ion beams, planning to build the new accelerator complex "Facility for
Antiproton and Ion Research" (FAIR). In preparation for the Tier-0 computing center for FAIR different Infrastructure as a
Service (IaaS) cloud technologies have been compared, to construct a private cloud. Simultaneously, effort has been taken
to learn how to efficiently...

Grid, cloud and virtualization
The UK's National Grid Service is investigating how it can best make use of cloud technologies in the future. The focus is on users, not only those who want to perform computationally intensive research, but also others in the wider academic setting. The usefulness of Infrastructure as a Service clouds to this community is crucial in determining future cloud provision in this area. To examine...
