- Ability to develop data portal using common tools (e.g., development environments or portal toolkits)
- Ability to deploy (host) data portal services "near" datasets (e.g., ythub)
- Security (TLS)
- Monitoring (Nagios)
- Custom DNS entries (gcmc.hub.yt)
- Optional authentication into portal services (i.e., restricting access to service from end users)
Other: Working with Whole Tale
Whole Tale will also support launching Jupyter and R notebooks, but is more focused on 1) bringing data to the container and 2) reproducibility. Datasets are registered via Girder. Authentication is handed via Globus auth. User's home directory will be iRODS. WT will be deployed at NCSA and TACC. Containers will be time-constrained and launched at the site with the right data. A key component is the Data Management System which handles caching data locally and exposing via fuse filesystem to the container (and therefore handling permissions). They are hoping to leverage Labs Workbench – or at least Kubernetes – for container management.
- Is there a way that WT can leverage Workbench to launch remote containers? At the very least, relying on a Kubernetes federation?
