China’s High-Energy Photon Source (HEPS), the first national high-energy synchrotron radiation light source, is under design and construction. HEPS computing center is the principal provider of high-performance computing and data resources and services for science experiments of HEPS. The mission of HEPS scientific computing platform is to accelerate the scientific discovery for the...
High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a crucial scientific research facility that necessitates efficient, reliable, and secure services to support a wide range of experiments and applications. However, traditional physical server-based deployment methods suffer from issues such as low resource utilization, limited scalability, and high maintenance costs.Therefore, the objective of this study is...
With the widespread adoption of containers by various organizations and companies, Kubernetes (K8s), an open-source software dedicated to container management, has in recent years become de-facto the standard for the deployment and operation of applications focused on this technological solution. K8s offers several advantages: workload balancing, dynamic resource allocation, automated rollout...
The National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) has been operating and supporting Italy’s largest research and academic distributed infrastructure for several decades. In March 2021, INFN launched “INFN Cloud” which provides a federated cloud infrastructure and a customizable service portfolio tailored for the scientific communities supported by the institute. The portfolio assortment...
With a rich heritage in cutting-edge distributed IT technologies, ranging from initial small clusters to Grid and Cloud-based computing, INFN has introduced "INFN Cloud" about three years ago. This user-friendly, distributed cloud infrastructure and services portfolio is designed for scientific communities, providing easy access and utilization.
Given the decentralized nature of the...
The INDIGO PaaS orchestration system is an open-source middleware designed to seamlessly federate heterogeneous computing environments, including public and private clouds, container platforms, and more. Its primary function lies in orchestrating the deployment of virtual infrastructures, ranging from simple to intricate setups. These virtual infrastructures can implement high-level...
The EGI Federated Cloud (FedCloud) is a multinational cloud system that seamlessly integrates community, private, and public clouds into a scalable computing platform dedicated to research. Each cloud within this federated infrastructure configures its Cloud Management Framework (CMF) based on its preferences and constraints. The inherent heterogeneity among cloud sites can pose challenges...
