Description
The Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy Science Gateway has been created to access the ilifu OpenStack system that is based at the University of Cape Town. Much of the work done on ilifu is processing data from the MeerKAT telescope, which is a precursor of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). This is the start of creating tools that can be used to set up a federation of cloud computing and storage systems throughout South Africa. Some of the requirements for the gateway include limiting the amount of code that needed to be written by us, to minimize the amount of support time needed to manage user accounts and take advantage of web based federated identity management. We also wanted to provide single-sign-on to existing best in class applications.
