• We will provide a VM with everything pre-installed in it through Nebula. 
  •  Rob Kooper will talk to Doug for this if we can spawn 50 VMs on Nebula for the tutorial session. (DONE) We will get  50 VMs on Nebula.
    
    
  •  Smruti Padhy (who else??) Make a list of all softwares required and the directory structure for the tutorial
  •  Smruti Padhy, Marcus Slavenas, (who else?) Create a VM with everything installed in it and take a snapshot which will then be deployed within Nebula. Approx. time required - 2 days
    
  •  Rui Liu Write a script for deployment of 50 VMs from the VM snapshot that we created. 
  •  Luigi Marini Testing BD service with 50 concurrent users to perform conversion/extractions tasks
  •  Luigi Marini Maximum size of file that can be uploaded to Brown Dog needs to be controlled. This is require to ensure no one uploads any large files.
  •  Not sure of Jetstream yet. 
  • Provide clear instructions as how to access VMs in Nebula with proper credentials.
    •  Smruti Padhy, Marcus Slavenas, Jong Lee Create powerpoint slides with clear Instructions of how to access the VMs (e.g., through ssh), from different OSes (Linux, Mac, Windows).
    •  Rui Liu Need training accounts on Nebula. Provide SSH key-pairs to each participant.
  • (Before tutorial - wiki pages with clear instructions) Installs Python/R/MATLAB/cURL to use BD Service along with the library required in case any one interested in using the BD services in future.
    •  Eugene Roeder Create wiki pages with clear instructions
  
  
• Backup - Provide VM through USB sticks in case of network interruption
  In addition to the installation required for VMs in Nebula, following are extra steps required for Backups VMs
  
  • TODO
    •  Smruti Padhy Convert the VM created (using Openstack image) to VirtualBox format (*vdi) and test the configurations.
    •  Smruti Padhy Order 50+ flash drive for back up that will contain the VMs (Received)
    •  Luigi Marini Test local installation of Fence with local authentication instead of Crowd. This is for backup to be provided in the preinstalled VM.
    •  Smruti Padhy bdfiddle installation
    •  Copy the VM and virtualbox to the flash drives

Hands-on Details

• Demonstration of use of BD Fiddle (20 mins)
  • Sign up for Brown Dog Service
  • Obtain a key/token using curl on VM
    • Local VM and Nebula VM need to have curl available
  • Use token and bd fiddle interface to obtain to see BD in action. 
  • Copy paste the python code snippet and use it the application to be explained next. 
  •  Figure out a good way to accept requests for new accounts for BD service (note this is different than Nebula account)
    •  Jay Alameda Aquire list of attendees
  •  Smruti Padhy, Marcus Slavenas, Jong Lee  Create a document for the demo with step-by-step screenshots for all above steps.
  •  Eugene Roeder Fix the CORS error for file url option (I think it is a known issue). Please add the JIRA issue number here.
    
  •  Christopher Navarro, Eugene Roeder Fix the delay experienced when file is uploaded from local directory to the bdfiddle ui
