- Clouds, where next? Are they awesome or evil or do we simply need to keep a prototyping testbed?
- Cloud Technologies (OpenSTack, OpenNebula, Containers, VAC/Vcycle ...). What should our workplan be?
- (From Raul after the meeting) How do we achieve: Resource Pooling, Rapid Elasticity, Broad Access, Monitoring without reverting to people like AWS
- Security and Clouds:
o How do different technologies resolve traceability?
o Security training and policy (similar to how security exercises for Grids)
o Interactions with site security - how on earth can they trust us?
o ARGUS/glexec - centralised banning
- (From Raul after the meeting) Our present storage solutions
o Our storage systems (DPM/dCache/no-matter-the-flavor) are cluttered/bloated with layers of unused software.
o Our storage architecture (DPM/dCache/Lustre/etc) is vulnerable by design.
