Description
Haggis is an information system used to map CERN users to HTCondor accounting groups as well as hold information about quota and priority allocation per accounting group as well as information relevant to resource usage accounting. It enforces a tree-like domain model that supports resource mapping under different compute pools. All the data stored in Haggis is completely manageable by the appropriate parties via a RESTful CRUD API, as well as a CLI client.
The data needed for HTCondor to operate can be injected into the system by using Haggis' delivery mechanism to generate the appropriate configuration files.
Haggis is based on a modular, layered and pluggable architecture that allows implementations with different delivery and management mechanisms, backend storage systems as well as different authorization policies. Thus, it can be easily tailored to accommodate different use cases and needs of different HTCondor setups.
In this presentation we will talk about how CERN uses Haggis to fit its accounting group management needs. Moreover we will demonstrate its software architecture and discuss the ways that Haggis can be modified, extended and deployed in order to be used in different HTCondor environments.
