SA1 Status Report

1. SA1 Status Report Status and Progress of the ETICS-SA1 Activity ETICS2 All Hands Meeting Alberto AIMAR CERN Budapest22-24 June 2009

2. Status of the ETICS Services in one Slide • Release and Development Infrastructure • Procedures, tests, release candidate, etc • Repository for all Binaries and Reports • Production Platforms extended: SL5 and MAC OS X • Automatic Deployment • Nightly development installations, and other ETICS WPs • Plug-ins Development • Integration of several new plugins • Metrics Disseminator • Display metrics collected, trends etc • AQCM Metrics and Reports • Production of the AQCM reports • Project Dashboards • Show status of a project in one web page SA1 Status Report

3. Ongoing Work (I) • Infrastructure of the ETICS Services • Maintenance and support. Updates • Several improvements and maintenance • web services, repository, web interface editors, client, etc • Multi-node Testing • Defined, configure deploy and launch distributed tests • Plug-ins development • Findbugs, CCC, CKJM, etc • Jobs Submitters interface • in order to be able to submit to other “batch” systems • Dynamic Virtualization. WNs on demand • Start a VM of the platform needed and execute client, send back results SA1 Status Report

4. Ongoing Work (II) • AQCM Reports • Generating the report, metrics missing but OTW • Metrics Disseminator • Display the metrics collected by the plugins • Dashboard • Just started. Shows last builds, direct links to metrics and reports • To be Started (soon) • SLA’s with 2 projects • Privacy, authentication • Accounting, logging, costs • Import/Export from other systems SA1 Status Report

5. SA1 Plan for Year 2 SA1 Status Report

6. Collaboration across Activities • New Submission Engines  SA2 • New plug-ins + Integration  JRA2 • Multi-node Distr. Testing  JRA2 • A-QCM + Metrics  NA2 • Cross Submission  JRA1 • Dissemination Material  NA2 • Documentation & Support  SA2 SA1 Status Report

7. All SA1 information is here SA1 Status Report

8. EU Review: Future Plans • Continue to provide the Services • Maintain, Upgrade, Provide new Externals, New Platforms • Integration of Work of Other Activities • Metrics and Testing Plugins • A-QCM Reports and Certification • ETICS Services with gLite and UNICORE • Sustainability of the Services • Extended Monitoring for Other Infrastructures • Control and Report on the Usage of the ETICS Infrastructure • Implementation of New Privacy, Authentication and Authorization Policies • Steps to define the costs associated to User Projects and to support of different platforms. • Attracting New Users Projects • Interfaces to Existing Build Systems • Web Task-Oriented Interfaces • Test of Integration of ETICS Services with External Resources SA1 - Service Management

9. EU Review: Conclusions and Outlook • Main Objectives (and Additional Achievements) of the First Year • Automation, Performance, Virtualization, High Availability • Small delays will be recovered in Year 2, resources now available. • Maintenance and Upgrade of the Services • Platforms, Updates, Virtual Images, External Software • Urgent Requests for Main User Projects • Year 2 Outlook: Focus on Sustainability • Usage of External Resources for CPU (WN) and Storage • Privacy, Authorization, Security • Integrate Submission Engines, Testing and Metrics Plugins, A-QCM Certification SA1 - Service Management

10. SA1 Deliverables OK OK OK DONE • DSA1.1 – Execution plan for 12 months of infrastructure operation M03 • This deliverable describes the execution plan for the first half of the ETICS 2 project, including the core service roadmap and the infrastructure deployment plan. • DSA1.2 – ETICS Core Services Design Specification M06 • This deliverable describes the overall ETICS 2 core services. • DSA1.3 – ETICS Site Service Level Agreement M09 • This deliverable describes the Service Level Agreements upon which the ETICS service will be provided. The SLAs will define the service level the users can expect from the service in terms of availability, accessibility and support. • DSA1.4 – Execution plan for second 12 months of infrastructure operation M12 • This deliverable describes the execution plan for the second half of the ETICS 2 project, including the core service roadmap and the infrastructure deployment plan. • DSA1.5 – Infrastructure and core services certification and usage report M21 • This deliverable reports on the release management cycles and certification of the ETICS 2 infrastructure and core services, including lessons learned and corrective action to apply.

11. SA1 Issues • Resources • Was difficult to hire people early … • … now could be difficult to retain people • Adding developers takes time, we focus on specific tasks • Receive show-stoppers requests from EGEE • Sometimes conflicting, sometimes not using the solution • Sustainability of the ETICS Services • SA1 needs clear direction from the PMB • Be deployable in other environments that CERN • For Open Organizations vs for Private Commercial uses • We must aim at scenarios that are feasible • Invest (partners) resources in those scenarios • New development must start now (privacy, import export, etc) but we have no resources SA1 Status Report

12. Work of the Technical SessionsProposed Topics • Multi-node Distr. Testing • New Submission Engines • + Bootstrapper integration • New plug-ins + Integration • A-QCM Reports + Disseminator • Ongoing SA1 development activities and changes • Dashboard Design, Property Editors • Impact Infrastructure, Web Services, Web Interface, • Clients and Repository • Something else?
