Sept 9-11, 2009

Scope of Release 1• Virtual Process Execution Management

– Definition of target execution environment independent processes

– Support of multiple cloud execution environments– Generation of target specific executables

(images)• Elastic Computing

– Elastic scheduling, provisioning, execution– Monitoring and management

• Resource Management– Compute Nodes and Target Environments– Process Repository


Elastic Provisioning Example

Cloud Computing Strategy• Requirements

– a secure, scalable, fault-tolerant network and computing infrastructure that spans the OOI marine instrument networks to the national (academic & commercial) computing/data facilities

– a participation model that allows individual research teams to integrate the computing environments at their intuitions into this infrastructure

• Strategy– provide an effective development and operational process that allow the

OOI members and its operational staff to transparently use and effectively manage the OOI specific computing resources as a coherent cloud resource

• Definition– style of computing where ICT capabilities are provided “as a Service”, – allowing users to access technology-enabled services without

knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them

Cloud Strategy Benefits• Attributes

– Effective coupling of resource acquisition to user demand– Streamlining the preparation, deployment and management of

observatory applications– Removing the management and ownership of physical

computing resources from the direct concern of the Observatory• Results

– Eliminate centralized capital assets associated with networking storage, and computing as well as associated staffing

– Continual transparent tracking of the technology advancements– Ability to respond to changes in usage demand in minutes and

changes in market costs within weeks

Architectural Concerns• Operational

– Enterprise of Applications, Services and the deployed Modules to support the Enterprise

• Deployment (concern of CEI)

– Secure, Scalable, Self-healing Execution Platform

• Implementation (concern of CEI)

– Configuration framework to compose and condition specific classes deployable execution units (Capability Containers)

• Functional– Decomposition of the system based on functional and

construction concerns

CEI Components• 40 min: Elastic scaling and provisioning

– Load graph: Start story. From there to CPE drawings or DX drawing. System scales according to load.

– Domain models development, deployment, operation architecture OV7 overview, execution engine OV7

– CPE use case• 20 min Network: Global site selection (Matthew)

– Deployment architecture– Detailed network diagrams (Brian)– National backbone infrastructure– GLIF (Tom) for network environment we’re deploying into.– Story: National DIF framework using Solace technology, link to

COI/Messaging. Higher density computing per enclosure, diversity of deployment. Possibility for inner core messaging architecture (very efficient on the backbone); commodity equipment
