StratusLab Project
Information 1 June 2010—31 May 2012 (2 years) 6 partners from 5 countries Budget : 3.3 M€ (2.3 M€ EC)
Goal Create a comprehensive, open-source
cloud distribution Demonstrate production grid services
over StratusLab cloud

Goal Offer remote access to
computing resources
Advantages Customized environments Rapid access via
simple API Complete control (root
access) with “pay as yougo” model
Disadvantages Non-standard interfaces
(vendor lock-in) Creating new virtual
machines is difficult
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)

Project Principles
Grid and cloud technologies are complementary Uniform security model (grid) Sharing of resources, algorithms, and expertise (grid) Dynamic allocation of resources (cloud) Customized environments (cloud)
Only develop new software when necessary Integrate existing solutions if possible Practical development real needs of users
Maintain production quality with rapid evolution Use agile and scrum methodologies Iterative integration: always maintain working distribution Public releases approximately every 6 weeks

Releases: v0.1 (9 Nov. 2010) v0.2 (17 Dec. 2010) v0.3 (11 Mar. 2011) v0.4 (~mid-Apr., +storage) v1.0 (~end-May)
Goals Provide complete, open-
source cloud distribution Generate feedback from
users and administrators
Warning: The APIs, commands, etc.
can (and will) change!

Roadmap
StratusLab Marketplace “Registry” for image metadata Tools for manipulating metadata
Appliances Tools for creating images Base images: CentOS, Ubuntu, ttylinux, SuSE? Images for grid services Specialized images: MATLAB, …
Contextualization Dynamic configuration of machine network configuration Configuration of SSH keys, grid certificates, etc.
10
Roadmap
Data (disk) management Static images: fixed databases, standard data, … Modifiable images: service state, logs, …
Management of services Control of an ensemble of virtual machine images Vary the resources dynamically and automatically

Expectation from French Institutes
CNRS/LAL Run moderately sized public cloud for select users Run internal cloud for laboratory services (already done) Progressively migrate existing grid resources onto StratusLab cloud
infrastructure with v1.0
IBCP Evaluate StratusLab distribution for use in bioinformatics Push for migration of ReNaBi resources to StratusLab cloud
Other institutes Expect most other (Quattor-managed) grid sites to follow LAL in using
StratusLab Already some interest in public, private clouds from others like LAPP
and IRFU
13
Conclusions
StratusLab Small project (3 M€, 20 people) integration of existing services StratusLab v0.2 available, v0.3 end of February Reference infrastructure available (and open to public) Support: [email protected]
Expect Strong French Participation Partners LAL and IBCP to adopt quickly Expect other Quattor-managed grid sites to follow soon after Interest at some sites in running public and/or private clouds
independent of grid services Would like to see France-Grille also offer cloud-based services
