Discussion of possible pilots/demos for NDS5:
- Discussion of TERRA
- David and Max built a tool for TERRA – the TERRA tool launcher. It's a way to add external functionality into Clowder.
- For the TERRA project, they are using the tool in Clowder. Can the same tool be combined with something else?
- This is something that already exists (we don't need to build it) and won't require an extensive amount of development
- David demonstrated TERRA integration:
- TERRA: terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu
- They're using Clowder and want to be able to analyze data in Jupyter notebook. Clowder is the basis.
- 141.142.209.122/clowder
- "Launch Tool" link – talks across an API. Clowder talks to the API, sending credentials needed to pull the dataset.
- Service API: what knowledge you need to run the container (where is the data); data transfer mechanisms (transfer from clowder); starts a container and returns UID
- Demo:
- We talk about how long it took to demo TERRA, then will show how an NDS Labs user can use these tools in labs environment.
- Can we use owncloud?
Schedule
- 8 weeks to complete the demos (2/1 - 3/25)
- Discussion of previous meeting tasks, estimates, progress.
